Fans of compact and small-sized smartphones face a clear shortage of options available in the technical markets during the year 2026. Despite this general trend towards giant screens, some lesser-known brands continue to offer unique products that meet these special needs, as Fossi Bot is preparing to launch its new shock-resistant phone F116 Pro to provide a different user experience that combines solidity and small size that is easy to carry and use with one hand.
This new device comes with a small screen measuring only 4 inches, with dimensions of about 4.5 by 2.36 by 0.9 inches. Naturally, as a device designed to withstand harsh conditions, the phone is characterized by a relatively large thickness compared to its size, while the screen offers a display resolution of 540 by 1172 pixels to provide an impressive pixel density of 322 pixels per inch, and supports a refresh rate of 120 Hz to ensure smooth browsing. Despite these excellent screen specifications, experts rule out that the phone is suitable for playing games due to the small display area.
The small phone relies on the Dimensity 7300 SoC processor from MediaTek to provide stable performance. This economical processor includes 8 cores that provide good and balanced performance in multiple tasks. Although it is not classified as a super or leading processor, it has enough capacity to handle all daily workloads and basic applications smoothly. This processor is coupled with a random memory capacity of 12 GB with an internal storage space of up to 256 GB for saving files and photos.
The back has a 50-megapixel primary camera, but the real star here is the 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera that offers a 152.6-degree field of view with support for optical image stabilization. The phone includes a dedicated camera button for quick access, and a 32-megapixel front camera for taking clear personal photos. The device holds IP68, IP69K, and MIL-STD-810 certifications to resist water, dust, and falls from a height of 1.5 meters, and supports installation on a tripod easily thanks to the built-in stand.
The phone operates with a 3,700 mAh battery that supports 33-watt fast charging and 10-watt reverse charging, while providing two SIM card slots, a fingerprint sensor, and support for modern WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 technologies. The crowdfunding campaign for the phone will begin on March 17, with deliveries beginning on April 25, 2026. The device is available at a basic price of $499, with a special price on the Kickstarter platform of $339, and an exceptional price of $279 for the first 1,000 buyers, while the larger F113 option is available at a price of $360 on the Amazon platform.
