This company is selling a $400 dumb phone to beat your smartphone addiction

Spend almost 45,000 PKR to kill your smartphone addiction.

Called, Light Phone 2, it is a simple, yet beautiful, 4G LTE phone with a black and white matte E-ink display.

The whole idea of this phone is to take your attention away from the phone to the present moment and conversations.
