Apparently after selling only a bit more than 5000 unit by September, the sales in October is not getting better.
The price cut will put overpriced Essential to its supposed price point next to One+ and its peers.
That being said, full featured One+ and its peers will or already get bezeless look which is barebone Essential main and possibly only good point. At that point Essential may remain as hard sell.

Oh, as comparison, One+1 sells around 1 million unit in 8 month. At least 200 thousand of those are sold in USA.

Still more like a basic phone than an essential phone. Also, never was a fan of asymmetry. That single bottom bezel isn't attractive at all. Much like the mi mix or the aquos.

Now that's better for a phone without a headphone jack.
