极简主义手机的设计理念竟然是让你尽可能少使用！
Minimalist Light Phone is designed to be used as little as possible

设计师Joe Hollier和Kaiwei Tang刻意设计了一款平淡无奇的手机，希望用户不再做“低头族”。

做为备用手机， Light Phone可以让智能手机用户远离APP，同时又能保持联系。

Designers Joe Hollier and Kaiwei Tang have designed a mobile phone that intentionally lacks features, in hopes of encouraging users to disconnect from the internet.
Designed to be used as a second phone, the Light Phone allows smartphone users to disconnect from their apps while still being contactable via phone call.

Hollier和Tang致力于这项工作是因为他们意识到当今的先进技术应该 “让我们生活得更好”，而不是毁了我们的生活。

“就像女生的衣柜总是缺少一件衣服一样，我们总是觉得这个世界还是缺少一个APP，”他们说，“而这些不停开发的产品和APP都声称能够使我们的生活变得更加美好。”

“我们已经再也不能相信任何产品了，因为它们不尊重用户以及他们的时间，过多地沉溺其中实际上并没有使我们变得更加快乐。”

Hollier and Tang began working on the phone having become disillusioned with the claims that today's technologically advanced gadgets are supposed to "make our lives better".
"We couldn't help but feel that the last thing we thought the world needed was another app," they said. "There were all of these products and apps coming out left and right all claiming to make our lives better."
"We just couldn't believe any of it anymore – these products didn't respect the user or their time. Being more connected couldn't actually be what we needed to become happier."

他们的策略是直接将手机还原到最基本的元素，即一个手掌大小的手机体，一个简单的液晶显示屏和一个数字键盘。

它可以执行的唯一功能是接听和拨打电话。无法下载APP，也无法发送消息，但是用户可以使用与原先的智能手机相同的电话号码。

Their answer to this was to strip mobile phones back to their most basic elements, resulting in a palm-sized handset with a simple LCD display and a numerical keypad.
The only functions it can perform is receiving and making calls. Apps cannot be downloaded, and text messages cannot be sent, but the user gets to use the same phone number as they do on their smartphone.

“Light Phone实际上是一种“回归简单”的体验，我们的目的并不是为了减少电话联系，而是尽量少地使用互联网，保持和平的心态，你仍然可以联系到你关心的人。”他们说。

“Light Phone的价值在于它刻意缺失了部分功能，使你能够有意识地离开你的智能手机。”

"The Light Phone is an actually an experience we call 'going light', in which the goal is not to use the Light Phone to place lots of phone calls, but to disconnect from the internet at large and maintain the peace of mind that you are still reachable by those you love the most," they said.
"The value of the Light Phone is in its intentional lack of features and the self-empowerment that comes with the conscious decision to leave your smartphone behind."

Light Phone似乎是手机领域回归传统的新趋势。

去年，塞尔维亚 Alter Ego 建筑工作室发布了一个3D打印手机的概念设计，这个手机只有数字与符号界面，没有任何应用程序，以防止用户像“盲目的僵尸”一样痴迷手机。

另一个例子是2015年，英国设计师Jasper Morrison为Punkt设计了一款只有打电话和发短信功能的手机，目的是解放智能手机对于人们的束缚。

Light Phone appears to be the latest company to be embracing the back-to-basic trend when it comes to mobile phones.
Last year, Serbian studio Alter Ego Architects designed a concept for a 3D-printed phone with an interface that only features numbers and symbols, and has no apps to prevent users acting like "mindless zombies".
In a similar move, British designer Jasper Morrison created a basic phone with just calling and texting functions for Punkt as a "liberating" alternative to smartphones in 2015.

现代社会，人们越来越多地依赖手机，以前的手机电量能够用几天，而现在手机电量有时只要低于75%人们就会开始莫名的焦虑，如果手机忘在家里或者被偷了，那更如同天灾人祸般痛苦。人们沉迷手机的同时忘记了它只是一个用来人与人之间联系的工具。现在的手机似乎成了一把双刃剑，功能越来越齐全，屏幕越来越大，也离最初的想法越来越远。

设计师们希望用这个小设计Light Phone让用户回归原点，手机并不需要那么多花哨的功能，我们只要用它能够找到想要联系的人便足够。因此，Light Phone的外形也十分简约，纯白色的机身，几个简单的按键，十分轻薄的形体，带在身边也不觉得是个累赘。这让我们能够从众多应用程序中脱离出来，与自己相处，与亲人相处，希望这样的设计能够普及，让人们都能够释放自己的时间。
