It works with both nano and e-SIM versions of the network, and you also have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 available for connectivity across devices. We’ve seen many phones claiming to help you avoid screen and app time for a digital detox but priced at $299 (Rs 27,800 approx), the Light Flip is as expensive as the regular smartphone and only the really serious users might wait till April 2027 to get one of these.
How it compares with Samsung and Motorola’s Flip
The Light device has a screen but unlike the other two it is not a foldable panel which makes it less expensive. But for its feature set, the Flip is on the costlier side, probably because of the unique display being used. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip comes for over Rs 1 lakh, but the Light Flip might have the better on daily use for those who need some time off their screens.
