2017 : No Headphone Jack That’s kinda weird

You discover in 2019 the Essential PH-1 was definitely ahead of its time.

700 bucks then?..nope..150 bucks on ebay now? hell yes!

[justindza]

Having the essentials of a smartphone should not cost $700

Who's here in 2020 watching this video after the Essential company shut down it's operation?

[yatinyash]

No clickbait title, genuine answers. You Rock MKBHD ✌️

[Abyssinian]

when 700 was considered expensive for a smartphone

[TellurdogIsayhi]

This was the ONLY phone I’ve seen design wise that actually impressed me. Shame all these years later there was never a different essential phone. :(

[mondobytes]

At that price point I'd expect top level customer service and support which has not been the case in my experience and many others.

HTC: poor use of space

But not waterproof. Fair enough, it isn't very expensi-
700

Nope

[SreekantShenoy]

No brand logo.. ohh Casey this is for you!! 😂

I feel bad for Essential seeing this review because it's a pretty decent phone, but yeah maybe they should have sold it for a little less money, since the S8 (at the time of this video) had more/better features for the same money.
