The ultimatum of the founder of Pebble: “make a compact Android smartphone or I’ll do it”

The founder of Pebble wants a compact Android smartphone at all costs . As big as an iPhone 12, but it was short-lived, “If you don’t, I’ll do it,” he said. Eric Migicovsky argues that today the smartphone industry has conformed to gigantic devices. Yet, says the founder of Pebble, the demand for an Android smartphone of up to 6 inches would not be lacking.

Eric Migicovsky has launched a site , which aims to be both a portal to bring together those who share the project and launch a lobby campaign aimed at producers, and a real manifesto to enunciate the qualities that this hypothetical smartphone should have. The site is called smallandroidphone.com .

In fearful words, Migicovsky wants a smartphone the same size as the iPhone 12 Mini . Only with Android . It must be possible to use it comfortably with only one hand. A very complicated undertaking on most of the top of the Android range on the market.

Those interested in the idea of ​​the founder of Pebble, can sign a petition on the site. Eric Migicovsky expects to collect at least 50,000 signatures. For the moment, 16,000 people have signed up.

The idea came to me after seeing the presentation of the new Pixel 7, and there I thought “damn, they made another huge phone” and honestly it really pissed me off. The smallest smartphone in Google’s line-up is the 6.4-inch Pixel 6.
