PLUS: Motorola wants to sell you a $1,600 phone that doesn't fold.
Small phones are nearly extinct, but there’s a new company trying to revive the category. The Enough Phone is a 5.3-inch Android phone that launched on Kickstarter this week, roughly the footprint of the iPhone 13 Mini. It has midrange specs, like a MediaTek Dimensity 7500 processor, expandable storage, and a user-replaceable battery. What makes it even more unique is that you can choose between stock Android or OdysseyOS—a minimalist fork that lets you use utility apps like Uber, Spotify, and banking apps, but strips away games, social media, browsers, and anything designed to keep you glued to the screen, like a smarter dumb phone.
At the exact opposite end of the spectrum sits the ultra-premium, top-of-the-line Signature 27. On Thursday, Motorola unveiled its $1,600 candy bar smartphone. The company doesn’t typically compete in this bracket, especially with phones that don’t fold, but it’s clearly angling to challenge the highest-end hardware from Apple and Samsung. It’s ambitious, but can Motorola convince buyers to drop that much on a phone without a hinge?

Sometimes AI search results are nothing more than an obstacle standing in the way of the information you want. Other times, they can save you the hassle of clicking through irrelevant, dense, ad-filled web pages in search of the one tidbit of information you’re looking for. Depending on your search, AI results can either make things remarkably easier or totally misinform and further confuse you. There really is no one-size-fits all rule, which is why you should read WIRED’s guide to when and when not to use AI to search the web. —writes Elana Klein.
