Essential PH-1

[Sushubh]

Essential acknowledges how bad its first smartphone camera was: 'We heard you, and we're going to do it better on the second-gen, for sure' | Business Insider India

they needed to be told this? camera is basically the most important component on a premium smartphone today.

Wow! 😱

 

[Sushubh]

they are selling this phone at pretty good prices these days in the us market. i think recently they sold it for around 400 dollars along with usb-c earphones and the 360 camera. would have been a great buy at those prices here in india.

and they recently hired a new cto. which seems to give the impression that they are not shutting down as previously reported.

would be great if they survive and launch a second generation model with a better camera.

They should really stick around. Would love to see a PH-2.

Selling for $330 at the moment. There was a deal about a fortnight ago where it was selling for $250. Quite a steal.

That said, a few friends of mine who use the device have told me about software not being stable, rebooting and signal issues (especially with T-Mobile), bluetooth problems and ofcourse the ordinary camera.
