    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The Light Phone 2 is getting some particularly strong star power courtesy of rapper Kendrick Lamar’s creative agency pgLang.

    His company, which he runs alongside childhood friend Dave Free, has released a limited edition version of the “dumb” phone.

    The minimalistic phone has no web browser and its screen is paper-like similar to that of some e-readers.

    In its simplest form, you can call, text, set an alarm, and use it as a hotspot, but there are add-on tools that include a music player, notes, a calculator, directions, and more.

    Users are invited to ask the phone a question and shake it to find out an answer.

    It’s not clear if Lamar himself is an avid user of the pared-down device, but more people are turning to “dumb” phones to cut down distractions and screen time.
