What is the difference between Android phone and its own?

After setting up his own company, Android's father, Andy Rubin launched the first product, a phone called Essential Phone and ran the Ambient OS. Only in the prototype form and in the process of completion, Essential Phone will be available next month. Here are the basic reviews of this phone.

Expensive

At $ 699, this is a high-end phone, the phone with a 360 camera will cost $ 749. It has 128GB internal memory, 4GB RAM, two cameras and a powerful and popular Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chip. Essential Phone has a large 5.7 inch screen (bigger than the iPhone 7 Plus's 5.5-inch screen), but without the bezel, it looks quite small. Compared to the top phones like LG G6 or Samsung Galaxy S8, the specifications are also quite good.

Magnet connection port

Like the Moto Z, it has a rear magnet connector, which will be used in the future with many other accessories. First, the 360-degree camera is said to be the smallest for a phone. 8 megapixel front camera, 13 megapixel rear camera and both can record 4K video. The device also has a removable charger dock and a 27watt USB-C fast charger.

Titanium and ceramic materials

The body is made of ceramic and titanium with high resistance, minimal design and no logo. Fingerprint sensor located in the back is like a combination of Google Pixel and Galaxy S8.

Equipped with dual cameras

Dual cameras seem to have become the norm on phones. Essential Phone has a compact design, combining RGB / monochrome shots with focus capability in low light conditions.

Essential Phone is different from other Android phones?

A mission of Rubin is to create a connected operating system called the Ambient OS, capable of connecting phones and many other devices. The ambient OS has not been clearly explained but will probably focus on indoor devices, using Essential Home smart speakers to connect with devices using Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant. It is currently unclear whether it runs its own application.

Color: Essential will come in four colors: black, white, gray and blue.
