Do you hate the size of modern-day smartphones? Wonder why Apple stopped manufacturing iPhone Minis? Turned off by the unwieldy size of an unfolded iPhone Duo? Well, then you might be interested in the Enough Phone.
It's a brand-new Android handset whose biggest draw is its small size. With a 5.3-inch screen, it's tiny in an era when most smartphone displays sit at around 6.3 inches, like the iPhone 17.
Most smartphone manufacturers have abandoned the small phone. Apple stopped selling the iPhone Mini in 2023 because of poor sales; on the Android side, Asus was one of the few phone makers churning out compact phones under its Zenfone line, but it paused its mobile division early this year to focus on AI, robotics, and smart glasses. Sony also discontinued its compact Xperia 5 series in 2023 (and has stopped selling its phones in the US).
Smaller players have jumped in to fill the void, like Unihertz and its keyboard-equipped tiny phones. Clicks—a relatively new company that makes keyboard accessories for smartphones—is launching the Communicator in December, a 4-inch Android phone with a keyboard. Other devices focus more on digital well-being and don't offer the traditional mobile experience, resembling “dumb phones,” including the Light Phone III, Minimal Phone, or Mudita Kompakt.
But the Enough Phone, launching today on Kickstarter for $499 (with a final price estimated around $599), takes a slightly more unique approach. When you buy it, you can choose Android 17 as the operating system and access all your favorite apps on the compact screen.
