The Essential is a Snapdragon 835 octa core powered smartphone introduced by Andy Rubin (co-founder and former CEO of Android Inc). Unique thing about the Essential Phone is the edge to edge display that almost covers the front panel and right up to the edge leaving space for the front camera.
Another unique thing about Essential Phone is modular support. For example you can connect a 360 degree camera that can simply be clipped on to the Essential and it stays in place thanks to the magnetic connector – easy to attach / remove.
The handset will be available in 4 different color options – black, grey, white and ocean depths. As for the 360 camera when attached, users will be able to shoot 360 videos in 3840 x 1920 resolution at 30fps.

I don’t believe this phone is likely to be marketed in India. Being mostly U.S. centric. But upcoming OnePlus5 should be a great choice. Waiting for 15th June.

We thank Andi Ruben for developing this smartphone with many unique and special features.
The price is very high and only for geeks who can experiment with these features and afford and not for the common people.
