Just so you know, the screen is not repairable or replaceable if it is broken... ifixit.com gave it the worst repair rating ever... but not until after I got mine :(
Essential.com let me know after my phone fell out of my bag at a height of 3 feet that the glass cannot be replaced. Nice big fan of cracks and a chunk out of the bottom of the screen- I don't buy insurance because I usually just pay for any repairs out of pocket - it's cheaper - and honestly, I've never broken a phone before... when I got my PH-1, there were no cases made for this phone because of the edge to edge screen...they did sell "holsters" that it would fit in but who wants one of those - so think twice about whether you want to spend money on a phone that can't be fixed...

In terms of quality, the camera's tone, sharpness, and focus are just subpar compared to this year's competition. People say that if you want to improve the PH-1's camera, you have to install a Pixel Camera app. Doesn't mean the PH-1 is a bad phone or anything. It was bad before but after the price drop, it has become a reasonable phone to buy at 500 USD (As long as you can ignore the camera quality). If you are looking for a phone with a good camera for 500 USD or less, you gotta look at One Plus 5 or LG G6.

The PH-1 is a very solid phone that lacks certain features to make it a truly complete "Essential" phone. The software is great and hardware is premium so that is a pretty good thing. No bloatware either if you buy it directly from Essential. The camera on the other hand... garbage. If you are a consumer looking for a phone with a premium build and solid specs while not caring about the camera, the PH-1 may be your best choice. With the recent price drop, this phone is looking a lot more appealing to non-mainstream consumers.

After using it for couple of weeks, I would say I am very happy with phone, hardware is amazing and software is pure Android like Pixel, it has IP54 for water and dust proof, battery life is good too, just wish camera can be par with Note 8 or iPhone 7/8 Plus.
