Give me a small and light weight Android phone with relatively modern specs.
Why is it still $600
I get that we can’t use the metric system, but I use an Android phone. I don’t know how big or small an iPhone 13 Mini is.
5.3 inches (thats around 13 centimeters) Read the article.
3.2 iPod nanos then. 1/8 of a MacBook air. 1/4 of an iPad. See? 1 iPhone 13 mini just makes more sense.
But how many corgis is that?
same. judging from the thumbnail and the phone that I’m typing this on, it’s appropriately sized for one hand use. good.
Why are all these speciality phones always the same price as a flagship? Why would I buy a worce phone fhe the same price as last years galaxy s?
Unless it has an unlockable bootloader and ability for installing custom roms, it’s just another useless thing for the landfill.
Does it not?
Seems not to, and also doesn’t allow apps outside of the “official store”. So worse than google somehow.
Wellll, shit.
I’m still holding on to my iphone mini 13, cuz’ I really like one-handed phones. This has NFC and an SD Card slot which is my biggest needs… and the support life seems awesome. My biggest worry - the processor.
For that prie with those specs I’ll think it will be rather unattractive to most people. A single camera, a cheap screen, a low end processor. I can get a Ikko Mind one or a commodore callback, which are much more pocketable. The latter one even has exchangeable batteries.
I want thicker more durable phones with longer battery life back.
Idk about everyone else but slapping a case on each and every new phone is stupid.
Nice. I have no desire to carry a tablet around in my pocket. So tired of these massive phones. These things are supposed to be portable.
these massive phones
roughly the size of iPhone 13 Mini
Wat? LOL
Just out of curiosity, how old are you and do you ever use your phone to watch a video or play games?
Also not OP, and I’ll decline to post my age, but I’m old enough to have used small phones, and I think my previous Sony X Compact was the right size. The Enough is very close to the same dimensions.
I do use my phone to watch video or play games on occasion, and no doubt, bigger phones are better for those things. Better still is my tablet; better than that is my laptop; better than that is a gaming PC with a 32" 4K display and a mechanical keyboard.
The phone’s main job is to fit comfortably in my pocket and be easily used one-handed. Making it substantially worse at those jobs so it can be marginally better at the things other devices will always far outclass it in is a fail for me.
Not OP, but I’m in my 40s and the answer to both your questions is a resounding no. I went for a pixel 3a to a OnePlus 13 about two years ago and the thing is way too big. Even my work issues iPhone 15 is a bit too big.
The screen real estate is kind of nice, but pocket fit is abysmal.
I watch videos on occasion, did it on my zenfone, do it on a pixel 7a.
Nobody is taking away bigass fones. Would be nice to have a handful of small ones.
Daaayum, pampa. So fly that even your pockets have fit?
Watch a video, sure. Play games, maybe mindustry or shattered pixel dungeon but neither of those needs a big screen.
My fairphone 6 is already way too big. It doesn’t even fit in literally any waterproof bike phone holder I can find.
Well, when i see one running linux ill buy one… so prolly never
THANK YOU! If it’s not 2k like the Motorola then we may get this lol
You can pick almost any mid-range device in the 500 euro price range and that thing does 95% of what the 2k€ flagship does except fold in half and cost month’s wage. That’s Enough Phone for anyone.
None of them is nearly as small as iPhone 13 mini.
Yeah but theyre all sized like tablets cause that is something that apparently appeals to poorer people, having slab phones?
I try to keep my phones under 300 EUR.
500 euro price range and that thing does 95% of what the 2k€ flagship does
I’ve never gone above 250€ and the last two phones I’ve had fit that description. Only real difference is my hatred towards the world when the screen breaks.
The idea sounds good, but it’s considerably thicker than a Sony X Compact from 2016, and it doesn’t have a headphone jack (the Sony did). I use the headphone jack.
A Sony compact from 2016 didn’t have to house today’s hardware.
Any phone today is larger and thicker than my Samsung S4 from 2014. Any phone today would also outperform it by orders of magnitude.
This Enough phone doesn’t look any thicker than many phones today.
Unfortunately a headphone jack is required by a small subset of users, just like small phones. So wanting a small phone and a headphone jack is an even smaller subset of users.
Though I think Unihertz does headphone jacks even on their Jelly phones.
Unihertz also understands that phone width is a bigger issue than thickness (they probably have some ratio they’ve determined works). I can’t reach across my Pixel 5 one-handed.
Edit: from their own website, the Enough phone is less than 12mm thick. That’s on the thicker side, but not world-ending thick.
A Sony compact from 2016 didn’t have to house today’s hardware.
Neither does the Enough. The proposed CPU is low-mid range and there’s only one rear camera.
Sounds like I’ll begin designing a printable case for it. 🤩
I’ve been begging for thicker phones for years
For battery capacity, or ergonomics?
It’s like with laptops. Apple is obsessed with thin laptops but really I don’t want to thin laptop I want to laptop I can use to beat people to death with so that it’s repairable and actually contains standard issue components rather than miniaturized custom things I won’t be able to source when it inevitably breaks.
If you’re going to have a camera bump you might as well just flatten out the back and give yourself more battery space.
Both? Plus getting a flat back. Just in general it makes more room for things.
I don’t follow, sorry. What things?
Whatever you want? Battery? Processor? Cooling/vapor chamber? headphone jack? etc. etc.
I’m listening. You mean modding or OEM? 🤓
OEM
(You don’t deserve a downboat for that. Here ya go, brave anon. 🖖🏼)
What? How old is that peripheral that jacks in?! 😵💫
Hol’up. You use an ⅛-¼" adaptor, don’t you. 😋 (link for the youngins)
(edit: it was meant in jest, no judgment, my apologies)
What? How old is that peripheral that jacks in?!
I have used all of the following this year:
- Circumaural headphones: new (this year)
- IEM headphones: 2019? 2020?
- Aux ports in various rental and relatives’ cars: various
- Professional audio console to play a file for a room full of people because I was the only one with a phone with a headphone jack: doesn’t matter - it will have analog inputs whether it’s brand new or 50 years old
- Tape adapter in an old van: probably as old as the van (2002)
You use an ⅛-¼" adaptor, don’t you.
I believe that was involved for one of the above items.
There’s also 3 inch Unihertz Jelly Star. Did anyone actually bought it?
That’s made by a Chinese company that breaks gpl by not releasing the kernel source. There are custom Roms for it but they’re based on a binary blob that can’t be adjusted.
Ew. I hope it withers on the vine. 🤮
I got one for my wife. She used it for about two years, but it was a pain to read her messages. And if you increased the font to its largest size it looked like shit and you could only have 5 lines of text on the whole display.
It’s nice, but you get tired of it. It was cool seeing the faces of people when paying with NFC.
I have bought it and i don’t recommend. It like a heavy potato.
At 19mm thick, that is not a small phone at all.
I had one. I loved it. But I overestimated my vision at my age lol
Yes, and besides a few issues, I love it, currently looking for a replacement, will have an eye on that campaign
I’d be more interested if I didn’t already have much smaller phone. I like the design, except for the chin. A single camera always looks nice.
