The Light Phone 2 is designed to be used as little as possible

My own approach to smartphone usage: the vast majority of the apps I use are tools of one sort or another (calendar, lightning monitor, weather radar, metronome, network analyzers, mapping, etc.), and social networking is out of the question even if I didn’t hate Facebook with a passion. Sometimes I’ll use it as a Wi-Fi hotspot for my laptop.

I do have Firefox installed, but other than quick news skims now and then, or looking something up when I need to, I don’t use it for general browsing.

ETA: Nonetheless, I like the overall idea of this phone, even if I’m not its intended user. In particular, something like this would be much better for my mother (in her 70s) than the smartphone that she has trouble with.
