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.

    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 β…›-ΒΌ" adaptor, don’t you.

    I believe that was involved for one of the above items.

    Thanks...I never heard of the Unihertz, but they look very interesting! I saw an androidpolice review and she wasn't too happy with it...But then again she was trying it for multimedia, apps and browsing etc...I guess it might work better when it's just used for Teams chat/emails and your average work tasks.

    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.

    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.
