Pebble, the company behind the original Pebble smartwatch, shut down in 2016 after being acquired by Fitbit.
Here’s everything we know about the community-backed project and how it could mark the return of Pebble itself.
What Is the Small Android Phone project?
Android smartphones with a compact footprint are a rarity.
There are hardly any phones with a display smaller than six inches.
And if they exist, they are budget-oriented and pack low-end specs that make them difficult to use.

Eric Migicovsky and members of the original Pebble team want to change this.
What Will the Pebble Team’s Small Android Phone Look Like?
Again, the phone’s design is not yet final, but the team is working on it.

As for specs, the phone will obviously have a sub-6-inch display.
The materials from which the phone will be made have not been finalized yet.
Given the resource constraints, the group is unlikely to use premium or rare materials.
How Much Will the Small Android Phone Cost?
The Small Android Phone team requires around $50-$60 million to build the phone.
This is due to the fees involved, which could eat up a significant portion of the raised amount.
That’s easier said than done.
Again, this process involves many other variables and factors, which could easily derail the timeline.
Is Pebble set for a comeback?
Only time will tell.
