The Enough Phone is a 5.3-inch Android phone about the size of an iPhone 13 mini, with a screwed-on back, a replaceable battery and updates promised through 2032. Kickstarter early-bird pledges start at $399 against a planned $599 price, with shipping estimated for May 2027. The maker hasn't shown a working prototype.
A small Android phone is back, but only as a pledge for now. The Enough Phone went live on Kickstarter on November 4. It promises a 5.3-inch screen in a body about the size of an iPhone 13 mini, a battery you can replace yourself and Android updates through 2032. Early-bird pledges start at $399. The planned price is $599, and shipping is estimated for May 2027.
What the campaign promises
These specs come from 9to5Google and Notebookcheck’s coverage of the campaign. 9to5Google calls them “mostly final.”
| Spec | Enough Phone |
|---|---|
| Size | 132.8 x 63.8 x 12 mm (5.23 x 2.51 x 0.47 in) |
| Display | 5.3-inch LCD, 1520 x 720 |
| Chip, memory | MediaTek Dimensity 7500, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, microSD slot |
| Cameras | 50MP main (Sony IMX766), 32MP front |
| Battery | User-replaceable; the back is held by screws with no glue |
| Software | Android 17 or OdysseyOS, a pared-back system without social apps; updates through 2032 |
| Body | Plastic, no water resistance rating; fingerprint sensor in the power button, NFC |
| Price | $599 planned; early-bird pledges $399, $449 and $499 |
| Shipping | May 2027 estimate |
The battery size differs between reports. Notebookcheck lists 3,500 mAh. 9to5Google gives a range of 3,500 to 4,000 mAh. Notebookcheck also notes the pledge prices exclude shipping, import taxes and customs duties.
For scale, Apple lists the iPhone 13 mini at 131.5 x 64.2 x 7.65 mm. The Enough Phone has nearly the same footprint and is more than 4 mm thicker.
Back it with money you can afford to lose
A Kickstarter pledge isn’t a store purchase. Kickstarter leaves delivery to the creator, and refunds depend on the creator too. Notebookcheck says the maker hasn’t shown a working prototype yet, and neither report names the company or people behind the phone. That is a lot of risk on a $399 to $499 pledge.
There’s also an open question for US buyers. Neither 9to5Google nor Notebookcheck lists the supported cellular bands or US carriers. A phone that misses your carrier’s bands will be a $599 Wi-Fi device. Ask the campaign for its band list before you pledge.
The appeal is real. Small phones with long software support have almost vanished, and a replaceable battery is the part that ends most phones’ lives. Compare that with the other end of the market: the iPhone Duo costs $1,999, and its battery and repair profile is a reason to buy AppleCare+.
At the top of the Android market, Motorola’s $1,599 Signature 27 promises seven years of updates and opens US preorders November 19.
Our call: if you want a small phone for travel or a second line, watch the campaign until it shows a working unit and a band list. Pledge only if you’d be fine losing the money.
I haven’t handled an Enough Phone. None exist outside the maker’s renders and specs.
