really nice
||Posted .Bought this the other day just because I could. I've used many many phones, currently using Galaxy S8 as work, bought this Essential phone to try on my personal number. Had it 5 days, so far I really like it. It is probably the nicest phone to hold in the hand that i've had, perhaps only the iPhone 5 was better to hold without a case. The square edges are great. I also absolutely love the fact that when I set it up, there are no apps I didn't want on the phone. Its clean, only android. No signing into a manufacturer account, no carrier apps, nothing. I added only what I want. Easiest phone set up ever. Display is beautiful. Galaxy S8 has richer color, and blacker blacks, but I still have issues with the S8 curved edges reflecting light, especially watching video. Essential phone has a nice flat screen, and is a delight every time I unlock the phone. Camera is not up to par with the S8. (This is why I carry an S8. For the camera) But Essential camera is not bad by any means, and in fact some photos I like better than the S8. Essential phone is fast, very smooth to operate. Fingerprint sensor is fast although I wish it wasn't quite as flush as it is, sometimes hard to find. I believe the fingerprint sensors on Huawei phones are the best and fastest I've used, but the Essential is very good. Certainly better positioned than the fingerprint sensor on the S8. At its current price, this Essential phone is outstanding, in my opinion. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. No regrets. (wish it had a headphone jack though....)

Quick and nice
||Posted .This is my first real smartphone so don't judge me. I thought it would be nice to finally upgrade and have wanted stock Android for years. First I use TracFone and it works perfectly, you'll need a nano SIM card, I am using the at&t one. Second it took me 2 hours to move everything to this phone and do the three system updates and one camera update on the Google play store, you can see two photos I attached. Coming from a TracFone standard phone there's no competition, essential is awesome. It's fast, fluid and runs anything I try. I tried a few other phones like s8, lg G6, Moto z2 and iPhone and couldn't feel a difference so I got the cheapest stock phone and couldn't be happier. Currently using a IQ shield screen protector, let it dry 12 hours and is perfect as well. Hope Bestbuy finds a case for this before I drop it, hate to scratch it, so pretty. Hope this helps anyone looking for a great phone.

Solid Build/Solid Perforance
||Posted .The 2017 flagship device is titanium and ceramic...it has the latest Android version with the latest security patch and will receive Android Q. Has a massive QHD display 85% screen to body ratio, 128GB storage and 4GB ram paired with a Snapdragon 835, 3040mah battery with an included 27 watt charger (USBC to USBC)All this for less than the price of a mid-range 2018 device with far, far less specs. At the clearance price of 374 or less it's a major, major go...oh and compatible with ALL netowrks and their mvnos. The only negative imo is lack of a headphone jack.

Definitely worth the investment
||Posted .Package came on time. The phone was exactly how it was described. Everything is working great. Finger print scanner is very fast and accurate. Camera is very good. It was designed more for low light settings and is definitely good. I have found no drawbacks whatsoever. Here is a sample of what the camera can do

Forget the Note 8 and iPhone X this phone is amazi
Posted .I bought the Essential phone a week ago and it is by far one of my favorite all time phones. That's over the iPhone X (which I just returned) and the Note 8 ( which I sold for this phone). With updates they have fixed the old issues. Don't go off of the two month old reviews. They are no longer relevant. This phone is lightening fast once you turn on Developer mode. It also has LTE+ which brings in almost 100mbps speed with full signal. The camera works great. OIS is not there but it has the option to stabilize the video in edit mode. Which corrects the issue. I have owned every major flagship device and I would not waste anyone's time if I didn't like this phone.

Smooth, gorgeous design
||Posted .First thing is the software, it's completely stock with zero bloat outside of essentials own camera app. I had 2 updates when I turned the phone on that improved performance and the camera plus the September security update. I'd expect a timely update to 8.0 Oreo with this phone. Hardware is phenomenal. The mirror finish on the back ceramic is eye catching and even though it collects tons of smudges (as does all recent phones with glass/shiny backs) it wipes off way easier than glass. It is slick and a P.S.A. there are zero cases for this phone anywhere. So have that in mind when you buy it. Although it should withstand a drop better than the all glass/aluminum Samsung. Titanium can take a beating. The LCD display is pretty dang good to my eyes. Whiter whites than the note 8 I have sitting right next to it. Zero light bleed when viewing a black screen. But, if I were on the essential team id of gone with an OLED panel instead of LCD, just for them deeper blacks. But with that said this screen is as good as it gets with LCDs. The phone is smooth and I've had zero hiccups or lag. I'm using a T-Mobile SIM and I have VOwifi and VOlte. Doesn't have band 71 (600mghz) but that doesn't bother me as my area won't have that for some time. Great phone for the non-fan boy of the major players in this market.
