A small Android phone called enough phone is now on Kickstarter. It has a 5.3-inch display and a battery you can swap yourself by removing four screws. Pledges start at $399 for the first 250 backers. The planned retail price after the campaign is $599, and shipping is targeted for May 2027.
Before you back it, be clear about what you’re paying for today. The campaign page is upfront about the hardware in its own photos:

Specifications
The maker labels these as target specs that may change slightly during testing. On paper this is a mid-range phone. At $399 to $599 for a Dimensity 7500 with 8GB and 128GB, you’re paying for the small size and the swappable battery, not the chip.

Software: Android 17 or OdysseyOS
Buyers can choose stock Android 17 or OdysseyOS. OdysseyOS comes from SLEKE, which sells repurposed Pixels running it. The team says software updates are planned through 2032. Treat that as a stated plan for a phone that doesn’t work yet, not a guarantee.
The people behind it are Will, Austin and Brennan, from Dumbwireless and SLEKE. They found a manufacturing partner at CES in January 2026 and toured Shenzhen factories in May. Research and development began in June.
The risks the campaign lists
Backing a Kickstarter is not the same as buying a phone. The campaign itself spells out where the schedule could slip:
- The first motherboards were fabricated in October 2026, and the first working samples are due in December.
- The ongoing memory shortage could delay parts.
- The phone still needs FCC, CE and Google certification.
Any one of these steps can push back the May 2027 date. Pledge only what you’re prepared to wait on, or to lose if the project stalls. If repairability matters more than size, the Fairphone Gen 6+ is already on sale in the US for $649.99.
