I’ve been looking at phones lately and I’ve seen this company called Enough from their YouTube kickstarter video. It’s them and SLEKE (maker of OdesseyOS) working on building a nice size phone. I’m thinking of supporting their kickstarter because I am tired of these humongous phablets, and I can’t stand on how they feel in my hand when holding them.

The phone has everything I want but I am really wondering if the bootloader will be unlockable.

—-———————————————————————————————————

Some important edits that should be added; (after looking on Enough’s website and kickstarter)

  1. No unlockable bootloader
  2. No sideloading
  3. On Enough’s website, storage is expandable by MicroSD or that same space is using a physical SIM card and you have the option for eSIM
  4. No headphone jack, but a USBC to 3.5mm converter is given if you do the kickstarter
  5. Stock android or OdessyOS only (from SLEKE); no flashing capabilities at all
  6. Replaceable battery
  7. Price of phone from kickstarter:
  8. Super Early bird price: $399 USD (sold out)
  9. Early bird: $449 USD
  10. Kickstarter special; $499 USD
  11. Retail price after campaign: $599 USD

    We used to call extra large phones phablets.

    …but all phones got so large that there was no reason to use a different word. Look how much bigger a base Pixel 11 is compared to that 2013 HTC:

    An extra large phone is just any phone.

      And Anything small nowadays is the ~6.3 in size but those are to big. It really hurts the wrist holding any of those phones

        I carried an LG phone with 4" screen for YEARS. Way beyond what was considered safe for Android. It just fit so well in the pocket. I kept expanding the storage with larger SD cards. Also replaced the battery, since it wasn’t glued together.

      I distinctly remember having a Galaxy Note 2 and a friend of mine asking if it played DVDs. It had a 5.5" display.
