- Eric Migicovsky’s Small Android Phone project is still ongoing but not a priority, and there is no clear timeline for its release.
- The Pebble founder said the project was not moving fast and advised buyers not to wait.
- For now, he’s more focused on reviving the Pebble smartwatch with open-source software.
A small but significant number of people feel that most phones are too big, and they would prefer smaller versions without sacrificing specs. Eric Migicovsky, the founder of Pebble, is one of them. He initiated the Small Android Phone project in 2022, aiming to develop a compact, premium Android device reminiscent of the iPhone 13 Mini. While the project is still alive, the latest indicators are that it could be some time before we see his vision of a small Android phone.
Speaking to The Verge, Migicovsky stated that he was only tangentially working on small phones and that they were no longer a top priority. When pressed further on whether someone upgrading now should consider holding out for Migicovsky’s device in the next 18 months instead, he suggested that they shouldn’t.
