This is the smart phone of Andy Rubin, the father of the Android operating system.

Called Essential Phone and designed by Essential, this is Rubin's first smartphone, a stunning new device and impressive, making the experience quickly love it. For $ 700, many people might wonder if they should buy it instead of the iPhone or Samsung, but if you hold it in your hand you will be shaken strongly.

This is the newest member joining the Android club. It combines features on Google's Pixel and OnePlus 5 in running the basic, unmodified version of the operating system. This should be appreciated because the original Android version is the best Android version, no device running the modified Android version is better than it is. There are many beautifully designed devices like the Galaxy S8, LG G6, but run the modified Android version, with overlays and a ton of unwanted apps pre-installed.

Essential Phone gives users the feeling that Rubin is trying to give a message to his competitors, that he can create a great smartphone, with top specs and materials. without increasing prices or modifying the Android operating system.

Here is a full review of Essential Phone by the writer Antonio Villas-Boas of Business Insider.

Essential Phone is a nice phone, 4GB RAM, 128GB memory

Essential Phone has a slightly generic, yet elegant design, a titanium body and ceramic back, making Essential Phone even more premium in terms of feel and vision.

Essential Phone has an IPS 5.71 inch screen, providing rich, brilliant and beautiful colors. With a resolution of 2560x1312 pixels, it is also very sharp. Although not as sharp as the Galaxy S8, you won't really notice the difference.

Its back is made of ceramic, just one word "Nice"

Do you find something missing? Essential Phone's back has no logo. This strengthens Essential Phone's elegant and elegant design.

The back also has a perfect mirror

The downside of this mirror surface is the scratches and fingerprints. Until now, both Essential and third parties do not have any companies producing Essential Phone cases. This may mean that the company does not want you to use extra cases for your phone unnecessarily.

In fact, titanium has made Essential Phone more durable than other smartphones made of glass or aluminum. But unless the back is made of sapphire glass (still possible), it will still be scratched. Users who want to keep the original look of the phone will still have to use more cases.

The back also includes some key features of the phone

You will find a fingerprint scanner, a dual-camera and 2-pin metal camera system that is used to connect additional gadgets. Both rear cameras have a 13 Megapixel sensor, but a full color shot, one only takes black and white photos.

Fingerprint sensor works well, it's not as fast as the OnePlus 5, but faster and more accurate of the Galaxy S8.

Camera appears quite impressive

This is a test shot with Essential Phone's rear camera. When taking photos, both rear cameras are captured at the same time. Essential Phone combines them to create photos with great contrast and clarity.

The pins will be used to attach additional accessories such as a 360-degree camera or wireless charger

Essential Phone base words are what Rubin calls "future proof" and allow the phone to be up to date with the latest accessories. Perhaps, this is why Essential Phone doesn't come with a case, since the case can affect these words as well as the modules designed for them.

Did you find it missing any features?

On the bottom edge, you will see a USB-C port for charging, data transfer and speakers. Do you see the headphone jack disappear?

Unlike iPhone 7, Galaxy S8, Essential Phone is not water resistant. Is this a weakness or not, depending on your assessment.

You cannot extend Essential Phone's memory with a memory card. However, with 128GB of internal memory, it should be enough for most users.

It includes an adapter

If you want to listen to music with a wired headset, Essential Phone has a USB-C headset adapter for you, which is covered with a very elegant fabric.

Like the back, the edge of the phone is also covered with mirrors

The device has sharper edges than the iPhone or Samsung Galaxy S8. These sharp edges add a touch of elegance to the phone, but the downside is that it's not comfortable to hold.

You will find the volume button and the upper right source

Essential Phone's power and volume buttons on the same side can make many users confused, accidentally pressing the wrong button.

What would Android phone be like without a notification light?

You will see a small indicator light on the top of the phone, near the speaker for the voice call.

Even USB-C charging cable also comes with a cloth cover like the headphone adapter

Apps look great when they are optimized to fill the Essential Phone's entire screen

Do you see the application flooding the screen and covering the phone's front camera?

Go to the most important part, the Essential Phone Android version and its default applications make the screen display as close as possible.

Essential Phone's Android application tray also fills the screen, surrounding the front camera.

Essential Phone operating system is the original Android 7.1.

This means that you will not find the application layer commonly found on Samsung or LG phones. This Android version is similar to on Google Pixel. The main difference is that it does not have a launcher like on Pixel phones, because Google creates that launcher for their own phones.

Essential Phone running on Qualcomm's latest chip is the Snapdragon 835, fast, smooth, trying out many applications that are still delicious.

The non-Google applications that come with Essential Phone are the photography application and Sprint.

The shooting application is extremely simple, the only setting you can adjust is the shutter sound, and save the shooting position with the image.

Applications that are not optimized for Essential Phone screens look like they are on other smartphones.

Applications that are not designed to surround the phone's front camera will display a black bar on the same screen. This makes the device look like other smartphones with the upper border. Photos on capturing Google Chrome apps, it's not yet optimized for Essential Phone.

The video does not overflow through the gap to Essential Phone's front camera
