The Essential phone handily beats OnePlus at $500 or $450. It was priced at $750 I believe on launch and failed completely there.
Essential also seemingly spent a lot of time, money, and internal phone volume on their add on feature. A complete waste as anybody with an ounce of sense could have told you. Drop that work, add in an audio jack or a second USBC port, sell at $500 and they would have done reasonably well for a first product.

- cco 8y agoCompletely agree that the lack of easy repair is a valid criticism of the Essential phone.
- Latteland 8y agoYeah, headphone jack and wireless charging are the only things missing from making ph1 the top. If they'd had a headphone jack and wireless charging and sold at 400 originally they would have killed the market
