When the Essential Phone first came out, I didn’t like it very much.

Thankfully though, post-launch, Essential didn’t just give up on the PH-1. Instead, the team followed up and...

Essential Phone Unboxing! The essential unboxing video you\'ve all been waiting for. Subscribe for my Essential Phone review. This video is about the new Essential Phone available only from TELUS in Canada. Pre-order yours now at http://telus.my/geXg25 The Essential phone is one of the most exciting developments in smartphones for 2017 / 2018. Essential is a new brand in the Android space but it\'s headed by individuals very familiar with Android. In fact without Essential\'s founder Andy Rubin, Android might not even exist. The Essential phone packs a clean \"stock\" type of Android interface similar to the Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL. The Essential Phone also includes a unique, modular accessory capability. Through a magnetic point on the back of the phone one is able to clip accessories including the new 360 camera for Essential phone. The Essential Phone is the first I\'ve ever handled that\'s made of titanium and ceramic. Essential claims that the titanium structure makes the Essential Phone more durable if you\'re to drop it. I won\'t be doing a drop test on my channel (I like the Essential phone too much) but according to Essential\'s website, when compared to other leading devices (made mostly of aluminum) the Essential fared better when dropped on concrete. The front of the Essential Phone is covered in Gorilla Glass 5, it\'s got dual 13 megapixel cameras on the back and an 8 megapixel camera on the front (capable of 4K video recording). It\'s also packing the Snapdragon 835 and 128GB of storage standard. The dual lens system on the Essential phone is different than the...

For a brand with no track record of making smartphones, the Essential Phone is an intriguing first attempt. It’s going for the long game by offering a phone that, in theory, doesn’t have to be tossed aside, trashed or traded in after just a year of use. Part of that comes from its timeless design that signifies that it belongs in tomorrow as much as it does today. Another fork of that stems from Essential’s plan to bring many modular accessories to the phone, thus expanding its capabilities as the months go by.
