Your kids are begging for the latest and greatest cellphones to hit the market.
They may not like a new one that’s being introduced, but you sure will like them to have it.
It is called Light Phone 2 and it has only a few functions. First and foremost is a phone, ABC News reported.
It can call and it can text. But it cannot use Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram or any other social media.
Light Phone 2 can also message, use maps and call for an Uber, the Telegraph reported.
Basically, it’s an old-fashioned flip phone without the flip phone look.
It also uses E-Ink for the display and operates on a modified version of the Android operating system, the Telegraph reported.
"Unlike a flip phone, however, to children the Light Phone is seen as 'cool' amongst their peers," Joe Hollier, co--founder of Light told "Good Morning America." "We have been working with parents on the idea of a parental app to support their child's Light Phone 2 as well."
Light launched it's first phone in 2016. It could only make calls and store nine numbers, the Telegraph reported. The company sold 10,000 devices, but they were too simple for many and were not practical for some, the Telegraph reported.
Light Phone 2 are expected to ship next year and will cost about $250, the Telegraph reported.
If you want to get in on the new technology, the company launched an IndieGoGo campaign to raise $250,000. So far it has exceeded that amount by 335 percent and has more than $836,000 pledged from supporters.
