People say they want small smartphones—the Enough Phone will put that to the test
It won't win the specs race, but it will actually fit in your hand.
The first modern smartphones had 3.5-inch screens, which can be hard to remember in today's world of gargantuan glass slabs. Sure, people talk about wanting smaller phones, but will they buy one? Enough Phone is betting they will. The company will begin taking preorders for its first device today, which is built around a petite 5.3-inch screen that is apparently the smallest it could find with decent performance metrics.
The company's cheeky name is reflected in its approach to phone design. A flagship killer this is not, but it's probably "enough" for most people. It has a mid-range MediaTek processor, a single rear-facing camera, a polycarbonate body, and a fingerprint sensor in the power button.
Specs at a glance: Enough Phone ($399 for a limited time, $599 MSRP) SoC MediaTek Dimensity 7500 Memory 8GB Storage 128GB with microSD Display 5.3-inch 1520x720 HD+ LCD Cameras Sony IMX766 50 MP, 32 MP selfie Software Android 17 or OdysseyOS Battery 3500 mAh (removable) Connectivity 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, NFC, SIM+eSIM Measurements 133×64×12 mmWith that compact screen, the Enough Phone will be dwarfed by almost every existing smartphone. While it's a bit thicker, the device has almost the same footprint as the iPhone 13 Mini. Thinness takes a hit, as the designers have opted to make the battery user-replaceable. Like the Fairphone, you'll just have to remove a few screws to get the back cover off.
