Light Phone has finally announced the Light Flip.

Good things come to those who wait, right? Units begin shipping in April 2027 (for a cool, easy $299). The Light Phone III, which I have tested and reviewed, is one of the Best Dumbphones you can get right now thanks to Light’s killer OS and premium build quality. And Light’s new Flip packs many of the same features into a user-friendly, push-button flip model that promises the same durability and ease of use as their touchscreen models, plus an extra helping of FUN.

You may be thinking you’ve got plenty of time to wait, but judging how the Light Phone III has been on a consistent backorder since its introduction, with orders shipping months after being placed, I would jump on that preorder now if you want to ensure you have one heading to you in April. Light Phone already has four batches planned out, shipping in April, late April, May, and late May. If you want too long, you’ll see your ship........
