People say they want small smartphones—the Enough Phone will put that to the test
It won't win the specs race, but it will actually fit in your hand.

@arstechnica Is Wal-Mart still selling the $30 WingTech phone? They don't call it the WingTech phone. You just walk in and ask for "The $30 AT&T Phone". That one's not *super* small but it's pretty small, and the screen is an actual rectangle with no holes in it, and it has a headphone jack. If what someone really wants is "a cell phone from 12 years ago" this might be the phone they really want.
@mcc @arstechnica Cheapest audio/video/ebook and Shattered Pixel Dungeon playing device ever (and even more with termux).
@arstechnica looks really lovely, but hard to trust ongoing software support or parts availability from a totally unknown company. would like to see it succeed and get better established!

My Pixel 4a is still enough six years later. It's running LineageOS since the official support window was way shorter than that.
I like the idea here, but I'm comparing it to my previous small phone, the Sony X Compact. The Enough is considerably thicker and doesn't even have a headphone jack. That's a bit crap.
@arstechnica Big weird curved edges, big hole in the screen, costs more than an XPeria X Compact :(
Why not just buy a used XPeria X Compact :(
