Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky is leading a community project called Small Android Phone, which aims to create a sub-six-inch compact smartphone with a premium feel, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or mid-level Qualcomm chip, and a 50MP main sensor. The team is interested in a metal frame with a layer of glass composite or ceramic-coated aluminum frame. The phone is expected to cost around $850 and may be crowdfunded for $40 to $50 million.
A team of former Pebble employees is working on a small Android phone project called "Marvin" that aims to fill the gap left by Apple's discontinuation of small phones. The team is considering a metal frame covered in glass composite or ceramic-coated aluminum for the phone's body, and is looking at two potential chipsets, the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 and a yet-to-be-released mid-tier Qualcomm chip. The team is hoping to provide at least two years of software updates and is considering a crowdfunding campaign to raise $40 to $50 million to cover engineering, manufacturing, shipping, operations, support, and all the other costs that come with shipping a consumer product.
