Great phone hands down!
The Essential phone is the most underrated cell phone out. I only found out about it visiting a best buy and went back to this store half a dozen times to look at it before commiting and purchasing it. Just a cool phone. Blacked out, no bloatware, instantly updated to Android 9.0 with the pixel 2. Fast and responsive with more storage than I can use. They say the flaw us the camera, well I disagree , yea you can't zoom half a mile away and see nose hairs in the shot, but really, im not a sniper or bird watcher. It takes great pictures. The resolution is fantastic, I can't see pixles greater than the first amoled screen and you can't either but if claim you can this screen rocks. It has a notch but it's real small. Love the phone that doesn't need markings and insignia to stand out as a status symbol. I mean c'mon don't you feel like a douche getting a case for a phone with a hole cut so you can show it's an iphone? This phone stands out in the fact it doesn't try.They just released some cool new colors. Cons: just one. You can't find crap for cases made for it.

Beautiful Fluid Glass Phone
The device is definitely a head turner. Many people ask about the phone and who makes it. To which I respond with "Essential Phone." The main problem is, no one has heard about it and for the price is tough to compete with other phones. The original price is definitely not something I recommend. Always try to get this on sale, but even now I refrain from anyone buying this phone due to the cancellation of an essential V2. The main reason I got the phone was for the looks and the OS being stock android. So if you do get this phone it'll be an okay experience still, just get it at a discount.
