I was 100% prepared to buy an essential until I saw photos from its camera. What a disappointment.

  As a Nexus owner (4, 5, 6, 7), I am 100% willing to compromise in camera quality. However, something has to give. If this phone debuted at $299 or even $349, I suspect we'd be seeing very different results. It is a shame too because I think the Amazon Fire phone failed for the very same reason. In hindsight, the ridiculous invite system that one plus had makes sense now. Maybe they were trying to limit the number of phones sold because each one sold at razor thin profits (possibly at a loss after warranty support).
