The Enough Phone is trying a radical piece of industrial design: fitting in a hand.
[Ars Technica has the rundown](https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/11/people-say-they-want-small-smartphones-the-enough-phone-will-put-that-to-the-test/)
on the 5.3-inch Android project, which is now crowdfunding rather than sitting on
a shop shelf.

The useful compromises are fairly concrete. Enough [targets a replaceable battery](https://enoughphone.com/blogs/news/target-specifications-for-enough-phone)
behind a screw-down backplate and expandable storage, while accepting a thicker 
body. Its [official roadmap](https://enoughphone.com/) puts first working samples
in December and shipping in May 2027, with dates explicitly subject to change.

That makes this a project to watch, not a finished phone to recommend. A small screen
is easy to put on a specifications page. Delivering reliable hardware, carrier compatibility,
and years of updates is the less photogenic part.

Still, a phone designed around the pocket instead of the billboard is a welcome 
design question. The answer now has to survive manufacturing.
