Essential Phone Review

Score: 66.3 / 100

Essential Phone is an incredible cellphone released many years ago, having a big size 5.7 inches screen, a high speed Octa-Core processor ticking at 2.45 gigahertz, a 13 MP back facing camera and an 8 megapixels front facing camera. But let's get into much more details.

ships this cellphone with a very powerful Octa-Core processor speeding at 2450 megahertz, bundled in a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 MSM8998 system chip and a big 4 GB of RAM. This cellphone has a large 128 GB internal storage memory and though it doesn't have an SD extension slot, it is still enough to store lots of applications, games, pictures and videos without thinking about how much storage is left.

This device doesn't feel very lightweight for a phone this size, with a weight of 6.53 oz. The Essential Phone design is a combination of Ceramic and Titanium . is offering this device in many different color options like black, blue, gray and white. This phone only has 5.57 inches long, but it is able to fit a a 5.7 inches display. This cellphone is slim, being just 0.31 inches thick.

This phone has an awesome 5.7-inches screen with a 1312 x 2560 resolution, which makes everything look brightful and colorful.

This cellphone provides wi-fi connectivity (and it can be provided to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot) and LTE-A 4G super fast data connection. This phone works with a Nano SIM card for GSM services.

This phone features two cameras, a 13 MP back camera and an 8 megapixels front facing camera. Although it's 13 MP may seem incredible the back camera has a very little 0.323625 inches sensor it takes less detailed photos than you would expect. This device also shoots videos in 3840x2160 (4K) at 30 fps, and 1280x720 HD slow-motion videos at 120 fps.

This cellphone also features a wide variety of useful features like Fingerprint Sensor, Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (for communication with other phones, computers and accessories) and GPS, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

This cellphone packs a 3040 mAh huge Li - Ion non-removable battery that can keep this device running for several hours without having to charge it at all. An issue to consider is that this cellphone's battery is non-removable so you can't change it when it begins to lose capacity, whereas having 3040 mAh you will probably discard this device before it happens.

The Essential Phone is being sold for 464 dollars, which is a really high price for comparing with similar phones. No matter if you want a gamer device, will use it as a social device, want a device for work or are a photography fan, you will probably be very satisfied with this cellphone.
