Are we finally getting small phones again? (9to5google.com)

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
  8. Price of phone from kickstarter:
  9. Super Early bird price: $399 USD (sold out)
  10. Early bird: $449 USD
  11. Kickstarter special; $499 USD
  12. Retail price after campaign: $599 USD

This device has banned ~~sideloading~~ installing an app. Wouldn't go anywhere near it.

Surely you can see how that wouldn't have conveyed the message I was sending in my comment?

"Installing an app from 3rd parties"; cmon I don’t have to hold your hand :/

And now we're back to using an unnecessarily long phrase that can be replaced with a single word. That's what words are for. And you're now not only being dumb but also a jerk so you're being blocked. 👋

That's not long at all in my opinion, and if what i said is "being a jerk" i am glad you blocked me
