Well, if you weren’t put off by the constant reminders that small phones aren’t doing too well, or by reports that manufacturers aren’t interested in them anymore, there’s some good news for you at long last.
A new Kickstarter campaign is kicking off today (pun intended) for the “enough” phone: a smartphone that will be tiny by today’s standards. It’s built around a 5.3-inch LCD panel with a 1,520 x 720-pixel resolution, because the makers think that’s the perfect size for optimal performance, 5G compatibility, and portability.
The phone will be 133mm tall, which should be comfortable enough for single-handed use, and will likely earn my colleague Hadlee’s seal of approval for a small phone with a comfortable size.
Despite that genuinely small build (it’s nearly the same size as an iPhone 13 mini), the enough phone offers fairly decent specs.
