The best phone I have owned. Believe the hype. This phone is like fine wine. After 3 years and all those upgrades, it still feels like a new phone.
Glitch, 23 Jul 2020When it was new it was pretty solid. After 2 years it's not stellar anymore.Mine's still going strong after about 27 months. Mind you, I only charge my phone once every 2-3 days.

I know it's too late now but it's kinda weird that GSMA never reviewed this phone... Hmmm.
No audio jack? Not interested! I have many great wired headphone that I can't use with this phone! Dongle? Mehhhhh...
FangerZero, 25 Mar 2020I ordered this phone the moment it was possible, and have loved it since owning it. Sure there... moredownload Gcam 7.2 or 7.3 and take amazing pics with the Essential ...🔥
A unique phone with amazing specs in this price.
I ordered this phone the moment it was possible, and have loved it since owning it. Sure there are some things on it that could have been better, but considering it's 2.5 years old and still runs like new, it's damned good. The phone is a great size and has a good weight to it. The finger sensor on the back responds quickly. The only complaint I have is that the company went under, so I no longer get my monthly updates same day they come out. I guess people would rather buy garbage every year, Samsung, than high quality products. Now that manufacturers are looking at doing High Mid-Tier CPUs it's even more sad. I probably won't be upgrading until 2021 or later. The Snapdragon 835 is in the same class as the the 765g that manufacturers are looking at using in 2020.

Was one of the best phones I've ever used. 100x better than any Samsung and more reliable than the Pixel. I am not looking forward when I have to get a new phone, in a couple of years. One of the best things about this phone is it's Vanilla Android and the simple feel of the phone.

Just a quick question, I'm on my essential phone, but I didn't get my update, I'm still on 7.1 nougat, can you help me out with that please. I will Appreciate.
Score! Just found the PH-1 that I had bought as a backup in lieu of buying "insurance" for the PH-1 that I use daily for the past 2 years+. Can't say enough about how much I've enjoyed this phone vs. what I've seen my wife deal with in 2 Galaxy phones in the same time frame. The second being her current unlocked S9+ with less than 50% battery integrity already and bogged down by all the Samsung crud. I am going to try and get her to jump on the Essential bandwagon, at least until there are some good deals out again! And hopefully after this I don't have to ever buy her another Galaxy!
