I have tried many smartphones throughout the years and never been satisfied other than a few times with phones like the Nexus 5 and even the Nexus 6P.
The Essential PH-1(Essential PH-ONE) is an amazing device even with the model number. From the moment you lay your eyes on the device, you can notice is not made like the rest. Once you pick it up is when that feeling becomes a reality, and this phone feels great in hand. From the boxy design which gives it a good fit in your hands to the slightly curved edges which shows up that edge to edge display. The phone screams attention when handled in public, and you notice that as soon as you power the device for the first time. The phone is built using titanium which will help with the drops I won't give it a try I will take them at their word.
The software is stock android so no fancy features here like you can find on an LG, Samsung or HTC device. But with that being said you can download any app you need to obtain some of those features you want to have. The phone software is speedy, and with the latest two updates, I see no lag like it has been reported with the early reviews on youtube, etc.
If you want a unique device with amazing built quality and speedy stock Android this is your device. I call this phone the Tesla of smartphones. Yes, it has/had its problems in the beginning but anyone trying to innovate will meet those obstacles.
