Enough Phone: A 5.3 Inch Android With a Removable Battery Is on Kickstarter

Enough Phone has gone live on Kickstarter with a 5.3 inch screen, a MediaTek Dimensity 7500 chip and a battery you can swap yourself. Early pledges start at $399, but the phone is not due to ship until about May 2027, so the real cost depends on when you back it and what it costs to ship to you.

What the campaign offers

Reports on the campaign list three early bird tiers at $399, $449 and $499. The $399 tier is marketed as a Super Early Bird. The estimated retail price is $599. Those figures leave out shipping, import VAT and customs duties, so the final bill in your country can be higher.

Why the battery is the story

The back cover is screwed on rather than glued, which is what lets you replace the battery without special tools to lift the adhesive. Phones with a battery you can change yourself are now rare, so this is the feature that sets the design apart. The capacity is not final. One report gave a target between 3,500 and 4,000 mAh, and the maker has said the figure may change, so treat 3,500 mAh as a target.

What to check before you back it

Shipping is targeted for May 2027. One outlet gives April 2027. Treat both dates as targets, not promises. Before you pledge, check the exact tier, the shipping cost to your country and the delivery terms on the campaign page itself.

What we have not verified

We have not handled the phone, and nothing has shipped yet. Some figures, including the update promise and the operating system choice, come from campaign coverage rather than a final product sheet. This story will change when the pledge tiers, the ship date or the final specifications change.
