People say they want small smartphones—the Enough Phone will put that to the test

Enough Phone is launching a compact smartphone to test whether people who say they want smaller devices will actually buy one. Its 5.3-inch screen and near iPhone 13 Mini footprint set it apart from today’s larger phones, while a replaceable battery and simpler mid-range specifications prioritise practicality over a flagship feature race.

The unlocked 5G phone is due to go on Kickstarter, with early backers paying $399; later prices rise to $449 and $499, before a planned $599 retail price. Buyers can choose Google-certified Android 17 or OdysseyOS, a de-Googled version designed to work more like a basic phone. Shipping is planned for May 2027, but carrier compatibility, waterproofing, durability and final battery capacity remain uncertain; the team says it will provide software updates through 2032.
