The Enough Phone is a 5.3-inch Android handset aimed at people who want a smaller device as major manufacturers move away from compact phones. Its Kickstarter campaign launches today with a price of $499; the company estimates the final price will be around $599. The phones are expected to ship in May 2027.
Buyers can choose Android 17, which supports regular apps, or OdysseyOS, an Android-based operating system from Sleke designed to limit distractions. OdysseyOS includes a curated app store focused on practical tools such as banking, smart-home controls and two-factor authentication. Social media, games, browsers and news apps are excluded, though users can request apps for Sleke to review. Messaging is available through Beeper, and a Perplexity-powered search feature provides text-based answers.
The device has a polycarbonate body and measures 12 millimeters thick. Its battery is removable using four Torx screws on the back, while its capacity is still being finalized at roughly 3,500 to 4,000 mAh. Other listed specifications include a MediaTek Dimensity 7500 processor, 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage, 5G, eSIM support and a hybrid SIM slot with microSD expansion. The phone also has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, NFC, a 32-megapixel front camera and a single 50-megapixel Sony rear camera. It does not have a headphone jack.
Enough Phone says the handset will work on T-Mobile and that it plans to seek certification for AT&T. The company also pledges software support through 2032. Camera performance and battery life have not yet been established, and the possibility of switching between OdysseyOS and Android after purchase remains unconfirmed.
The project was created by Austin Boer, Brennan Jordan and William Stults. Boer and Jordan run Sleke, which sells refurbished Google Pixel phones with OdysseyOS, while Stults helps operate Dumbwireless, a retailer of devices designed to offer a less conventional smartphone experience.
The founders are targeting buyers who still want a smaller phone, rather than trying to compete across the mass smartphone market. The 5.3-inch display is smaller than the roughly 6.3-inch screens common on many current phones, and the team sees an audience among people who continue to use compact models such as Apple’s discontinued iPhone Mini.
