Enough Phone aims to revive compact smartphones with a 5.3-inch Android device
Enough Phone is launching a compact Android handset through Kickstarter.
Its 5.3-inch screen is smaller than the roughly 6.3-inch displays common on many phones today.
Major phone makers have largely dropped small models, after Apple discontinued the iPhone Mini in 2023 following poor sales.
Buyers can choose Android 17, or OdysseyOS, which limits distracting apps while keeping useful services such as Uber and Spotify.
The phone costs $499 on Kickstarter, with a final price estimated at about $599.
Its battery can be replaced by removing screws on the back, and the company says the phones are expected to ship in May 2027.
