The size and price are similar to those of the former Sony Xperia Compact series.
I have used phones from that series for many years, until Sony discontinued them, and I was very content with them.
After that, I had to reluctantly use a much bigger phone.
The Dimensity 7500 is a good SoC for what is now a mid-range phone (though a few years ago $500 to $600 would have been a flagship phone, not a mid-range phone).
Dimensity 7500 has Arm cores of the 2026 generation, implementing the Armv9.3-A ISA, i.e. including the Scalable Matrix Extension, so they will not have any software compatibility problem for many years from now, but the "big" cores are small cores, not much faster than Cortex-A78 or Cortex-A725 (nowadays the cores from the Arm company come in 4 sizes, and a cheap SoC like Dimensity 7500 uses cores of the 3rd size and of the 4th size).
Even so, a mid-range phone like this will still be faster than a flagship phone from 6 years ago. In any case the speed will be adequate for anyone who wants a small phone, because they use a laptop for the things that would require a big screen and high speed (and I belong to such people).
I want a smaller phone, but $599 for it, that seems excessive. Especially considering that the storage is with a microsd. I already had bad experiences with flash storage, I want something more resilient
This is the biggest risk with the project, since Kickstarter business cases are not built for long term support. A phone without security updates is a huge liability in the new age of vulnerabilities.

Looks like OdysseyOS targets Pixels.[1]
GrapheneOS also targets Pixels.[2]
Can anyone with more knowledge speculate if that means GrapheneOS could be installed on the Enough?

No, the article says the processor is a MediaTek Dimensity 7500.

For anyone else looking:
> Software updates are planned through 2032

Backed. It's not perfect, but I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is.
I want a small smartphone, that is an iPhone.
I don't want some temu android nonsense.
Why do you want a closed ecosystem?
