In terms of configuration, Light Phone 3 owns a Qualcomm SM 4450 chip (Snapdragon 4 Gen 2), 6GB RAM and 128GB internal memory - just about the same as a cheap/mid-range phone model. For a smartphone model to "detox smartphone addiction", this weak configuration can be considered a strength, not a weakness.

The device is equipped with a USB-C port, fingerprint sensor, flashlight, 5G support and NFC chip (can integrate e-wallet and video calls in the future).

During the ordering period, Light Phone 3 costs 399 USD (about 10.1 million VND), then the device will return to the listed price of up to. 799 USD (20.3 million VND), a quite high price for a basic phone. However, Light's co-founder, Kaiwei Tang, also said that the price of 799 USD is only temporary and the company has not "finalized" the final listing price, because it depends on market demand.

It is expected that Light Phone 3 will not begin shipping until January 2025.
