GoKawiilEnough Phone small-screen Android device raises over half its $250K Kickstarter goal
Enough Phone, a startup founded by Brennan Jordan, Austin Boer, and Will Stults, launched a Kickstarter campaign for a compact 5.3-inch smartphone with a user-replaceable 3,500mAh battery, a MediaTek Dimensity 7500 chipset, an 8GB RAM configuration, and a 50-megapixel Sony camera sensor. The device will run either stock Android or OdysseyOS, a minimalist operating system the founders previously built for their refurbished-phone business, Sleke. Within a day of launching, the campaign had already passed the halfway mark toward its $250,000 funding goal.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The project taps into demand from users who, according to Boer, want smaller phones paired with distraction-reducing software rather than today's typical large-screen Android devices. Combining a new hardware form factor with an existing minimalist OS could let the team reach a wider audience faster than building software for only refurbished phones, though Kickstarter funding does not guarantee the device will ship as described. The founders' backgrounds—two as former iPhone Mini users and one as an operator of a 'dumbphone' retailer—suggest the product is aimed at a niche seeking alternatives to mainstream smartphone design.
