This kind of crap is why I always buy phones that have stock Android. I have been a long time Nexus customer but after Google dropped the line I went for the Essential Phone during the $250 sale. Easily one of the best phone with stock Android .
- Steltek 8y agoThe reviews of the Essential PH-1 were hilarious in this regard. People were annoyed that they had to install "obvious" apps for their Essential that every other manufacturer forcibly included.
- syntaxing 8y agoYeah, I'm not sure why the PH-1 didn't take off. 128 GB storage, Snapdragon 835, and ceramic backing is amazing for less than $300 after tax. The only "downside" is the non-OLED screen, weird reception for T-mobile, and subpar camera app (which the pixel 3 port fixes). The screen is still great and vibrant though.
