Ok, but locked bootloader. You can buy it but not own it. How is this even legal?
Its main selling point is its size? It’s still almost as big as most other phones! If you truly wanted to downsize the Unihertz Jelly series is a way better option.
Except that the Unihertz is 19mm thick.
The Enough Phone is 12 mm thick. That’s really thick compared to an iPhone 13 Mini (that shares the same footprint) that’s 7.7 mm thick, and to most other phones tbh.
Wow nice idea, but $600 is kinda a bit much. I’ve never paid more than $80.
That seems quite expensive for a tiny phone with hardly anything in it. Good luck to them.
Low volume means higher price.
seems like a modern phone with all the modern bullshit, except small. no thanks
I’m really surprised by the lack of open-source OS choices.
I’m just going to keep buying refurbished iPhone SEs until that becomes impractical. Then I’ll see what the market is like.
why iPhone SE?
Because the original SE is the smallest somewhat modern phone you can get.
Because, as with the Enough, it’s smaller. I can use it with one hand unlike any bigger phone. And the SE3 has eSIM, WiFi 6, and 5G. Apart from replacing the battery from time to time, it will continue to work for a long time.
How often do you need to replace your phone?
I replaced my Samsung S4 when the UK dropped 3G. My second-hand S10+ is still perfectly fine.
The article says it runs OdysseyOS. It’s not open source? Looks like it’s based on AOSP.
Lack meaning that’s the only OS they mention. I’m wondering what kind of software support it will have in the future.
Every time I see the next “phone for people who dislike modern phones” concept they never address my problem. A phone should not cost more than $100.
It’s barely economical to address it. Hard to pay off r&d and setting up production. Also, would probably require own Android fork or entire different OS with a lot of tradeoffs to run smoothly on ultracheap hardware.
Have you considered a trip to India?
I bought a new Nokia E63 for AU$199 in 2009 (around US$160 at the time). I liked that phone! It had a QWERTY keyboard. Replaced it with a Samsung Galaxy S3 in 2013.
$100 or even $200 is likely not doable for a modern touchscreen phone, unfortunately.
HMD (the new nokia) have the Fusion for AU$500 ($340), I got one on offer to play around for €150 a couple of months ago as you can unlock the bootloader.
I just want a modern Motorola RAZR, and I don’t mean the current RAZR. Ideally I’d want a 1:1 recreation of the V3xx with modern components and 5G and so on. Like the Light Flip I guess but not as chunky.
And yes, I’ve seen the Vortex V3 and it kinda sucks.
And as it would be Motorola, perhaps it would run Graphene OS.
It wouldn’t even need to run Android, something like KaiOS would be enough IMO.
Edit: Nvm, KaiOS seems to be based on Android?

Anyone ever got a phone from kickstarer? Can you trust it will deliver updates 5 years from now?
Can you trust it will deliver updates 5 years from now?
My gut says no, because the company probably doesn’t exist in 5 years.

Seems a bit pricey, but they know their target demography - well situated white collar workers fed up with modern tech, and those will be ready to pay a premium.
