You could just pop up a requester on the screen asking "Charging or Data?", and the fact that there's the need for a physical switch on the cable to make the phone "private" doesn't instill much confidence. Are they saying that are not really in control of the hardware and OS on the phone, and thus need a physical switch?
..... dont buy if you value premium cameras, no periscope zoom, looks like midrange sensors at best
Because my pc will try to copy my game save data from my phone if they did not make the data-transfer killing siwtch?
Love this phone, definitely buying this
All Ceramic glass a d 916L stainless steel
Screams pure premium like Rolex watches
Looks great.
The design of a phone is far better than msot overpriced phones of nowdays with price tag of 1000+.
Disappointed that it's going to be bigger than the original Essential phone.
Lovely design, especially with the camera island, though kinda similar with Fairphone 4, but with flat side made from stainless steel (it's good and nice) and ceramic back (Fairphone 4 is using plastic so it can be removed to change the battery inside). Hope that the front look will not be ugly like Fairphone...
its essentially a fancy fairphone
Omg I need an update from the Essential, my battery is starting to show it's age! Please be just as good OV1
Probably SD778+ 8GB 128/256
It'll be a very durable phone.
Android privacy is a silly joke
expect something like pixel 5 (with better cpu) at most, for over $700
RealLifePhones, 04 Mar 2022Is there a connection to Fairphone? Because this looks shockingly close to the Fairphone 4They probably have the same ODM.
I kinda dig it, tbh.

Most of the brands that you mentioned had a significant amount of capital backing them up that allowed them to cut back on the profits, moreover it's not like they were selling flagships for cheap prices but rather most were subpar devices.
Anonymous, 04 Mar 2022The original white Essential PH-1 was beautiful, so I look forward to seeing a newer model. This phone might have GrapheneOS as an option to install. As for Linux, I'd love to see postmarketOS as an installable option with full functionality myself. We'll see eventually.
Brands coming out of west just can't think of anything expect flagship cost. They should learn from many successful launch like oneplus, iqoo, realme, poco, pixel, moto G(moto resurrection). At least your first device should be launched on accessible price tag. Also they could adopt the easy reparability/ online parts availability of framework laptop, rather than establishing an expensive service and repair network.
The render looks beautiful ngl

It's because they can spy on the Bluetooth connection and the cloud storage IP address, simple as that.
