Anyone who misses small, practical phones has something new to follow: the Enough Phone, a 5.3-inch Android smartphone, launched its Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign on November 4, 2026. The pitch is simple: a phone that fits in one hand, with a battery the user can replace, at a price below a flagship.
The project comes from the team behind SLEKE and Dumbwireless, a company that already sells repurposed Pixel phones running the minimal OdysseyOS. The people named in the coverage are Austin Boer, Brennan Jordan and William Stults. According to 9to5Google, the specifications are 'mostly final' but may still change before mass production.
What the Enough Phone offers
- Display: 5.3-inch LCD, 1520 x 720 resolution
- Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 7500
- Memory: 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, with microSD support
- Battery: 3,500 to 4,000 mAh, user-replaceable
- Cameras: 50 MP rear camera (Sony IMX766 sensor) and 32 MP front camera
- Extras: fingerprint sensor in the power button
- Software: Android 17 or OdysseyOS, buyer's choice, with updates promised through 2032
- Dimensions: 132.8 x 63.8 x 12 mm
In size, the phone is close to the iPhone 13 mini, which measures 131.5 x 64.2 x 7.65 mm. The difference is thickness: at 12 mm, the Enough Phone is noticeably thicker, partly because of the removable battery. The maker says the battery can be swapped by removing four screws.
Price and schedule
The Kickstarter campaign offers three price tiers for early backers: $399 for the first 250, $449 for the next 500, and $499 as the standard campaign price. The estimated final retail price is $599. The campaign runs until December 4, 2026.
The published schedule targets the first working samples in December 2026, mass production in April 2027 and shipping from May 2027. The first motherboards were fabricated in October 2026. The phone still needs FCC, CE and Google certification.
A necessary caution
It is important to treat the Enough Phone for what it is today: a crowdfunded product, not a finished phone on a shelf. The campaign page itself says the phone in the photos is a non-working prototype. Prices, dates and specifications are plans shared by the creators and may change. Backers should weigh the usual risks of crowdfunding campaigns.
Even so, the project speaks to a real market wish: there have been almost no small Android options for years, and the combination of a 5.3-inch screen, a removable battery and Android 17 is something no major manufacturer offers today.
