Introducing Essential a SD 835 powered unique phone priced at $699

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.
