Bought one today in the UK for £300 to see what it’s like, so far I prefer it to the Nokia 8 I’ve been using recently, seems to have fewer software quirks. I’ll probably use it for a week then sell it on for a small profit.

                  Who's seriously going to buy a year old phone in the UK when the postage charges are so high and you have to pay potentially pay custom charges as well? It's a strange marketing set up by Essential.

                      Anonymous, 30 Apr 2018Why would anyone buy this now? Why it took one year for it to launch in other countriesBecause in that countries where it was available from begining, nobody buys any more this phone (50 000 only sold). So their chance is other markets to at least, try. It have unique design, also first phone from 2017 with notch but its rounded and small.

                              The phone is great and the price is fair. Everything depends on the marketing channels. But the device worths every penny.

                                A terrific design. But too late to move the needle here, UK. The poor camera is also not gonna cut the mustard. Beautiful design is not enough.

                                      I think this phone would have been a good seller in India too if it would have been priced under $400!
