In a world that relies heavily on smart mobile phone use to function, the Essential Phone is a breath of fresh air in a constantly evolving market.
Founded by Andy Rubin, one of the original creators of the Android operating system used by Google, Essential is designed in part as a disruptive answer to the mobile phone industry. Essential, and its mobile phone products are designed on six key ideas: devices are personal property, closed systems are divisive and outdated, quality materials and craftsmanship should be available to everyone, devices should evolve and not date themselves, technology should assist with daily living, and simplicity is always best.
The new Essential phone carries these values throughout, featuring magnetic snap-on accessories that leave room for flexibility and development, like the world’s smallest 360-degree camera that clicks on for stunning, immersive images and videos. In a desire to untether users from plugs and cords, the Essential phone comes with a Click cordless connector which recharges the battery with the help of magnets.
By all accounts, the Essential phone is a major player in not just function but also form. It’s extraordinary edge-to-edge full display provides the heft and uniqueness of a large screen perspective in a handheld device. With availability in four colors: Black Moon, Stellar Grey, Pure White, and Ocean Depths, the Essential is constructed out of resilient titanium, which is stronger than other aluminum phones currently on the market, and won’t scratch, bend, or dent. In a nod to Essential’s belief in the personal freedom and property of its owners’ devices, the phone is produced logo free, lacking advertisement for any brand.
The unlocked, 128GB Essential phone is available for purchase with the add-on 360-degree camera for the limited-time price of $699 online.
