The Light Phone wins with a huge 60.75 per cent. Now, this is a surprise. You voted The Light Phone as the best phone design of the decade, beating back competition from major releases such as the iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy Fold. We can see why, The Light Phone has led the charge for a minimalist design philosophy to phones, and after all this category is all about design.
The Light Phone is the brainchild of Joe Hollier and Kaiwei Tang, an artist and product designer duo who met at Google and decided the world needed something different, something lighter. The Light Phone was kickstarted in 2015 with the view to offer a phone design that did the basics right but wasn't governed by ad-hungry apps. No more feed anxiety, social media slavery and some cute design choices such as the paper e-reader-like screen ensure this is a phone like no other.
