looks like degoogled & modified aosp with a minimalistic approach

LOL are you me? I've only used Pixels since the 4a because the most important thing about any phone has become removing spyware and AI bullshit, and generally being under my control. And for that reason I don't buy anything else.

But GOS has very high hardware standards that a small OEM could probably never meet. The best they can do is give it an unlocked bootloader and leave it up to the community.

Otherwise the name is apt. There's very little separating modern smartphones especially the crazy high end ones. This seems like it would be "Enough" to do what people need to do.

Do any of them even support stuff like banking apps? I haven't looked into it much personally because I always hear that you can't use critical apps like that on alternative OSes.

Does it not?

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.

same. judging from the thumbnail and the phone that I'm typing this on, it's appropriately sized for one hand use. good.

5.3 inches (thats around 13 centimeters) Read the article.

Just out of curiosity, how old are you and do you ever use your phone to watch a video or play games?

these massive phones

roughly the size of iPhone 13 Mini

Wat? LOL

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.

None of them is nearly as small as iPhone 13 mini.

I try to keep my phones under 300 EUR.

Yeah but theyre all sized like tablets cause that is something that apparently appeals to poorer people, having slab phones?

Might be the price difference Samsung, Apple and whatever get from selling your data?

They give you a USBC to 3.5 mm converter for the headphones, so unfortunately not a true 3.5 mm jack.

I've been begging for thicker phones for years

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.

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)

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.

I have bought it and i don't recommend. It like a heavy potato.

I had one. I loved it. But I overestimated my vision at my age lol

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 one as a secondary device, for the most part it's an mp3 player that can call and text, I'd use it more if Signal let me install on two phones, but its nice to carry around and has a headphone jack.

I had one but only used it for 3 months due to its poor software. Its way to small, my eyes were hurting using that thing.

At 19mm thick, that is not a small phone at all.
