Nope. Nor do I see anything as basic as earphones...like what am I getting for my $700?
Is a phone even a phone without being baptized by dbrand? 🤔

XZ1 leaked, no smaller bezels lol
wonder what 3D creator is.
screen looks flat, doesn't look like it's 3d or 2.5d glass, easier to put screen protector on at least.

An essential phone
Btw are you using a custom kernel or rom?

Looks like a note 8 with a sensible fingerprint sensor location.

That v30. Glad there's no curved edges.

At least it doesn't look ugly.

They make the nav buttons too big. They should stick with the default size.

Yeah, it runs pretty well. The kernel I recommended gets rid of the CPU bottleneck at <15%.
This is going to be more wide than I'd like isn't it?

Anyone having issues getting sms lately? Nexus 6p, latest public release (7.1.2), using the default messages app. I've had a few people show me texts they've sent that never showed up on my phone and I've even seen one show up on my desktop via Cortana forwarding and it hasn't shown up on my phone.

Don't do it. Atleast wait for Amazon so you can return it lol. Essential doesn't deserve your money when they haven't even shown off software.
Damn I have a G6 right now and love it but might have to jump on demand to this.
Looks like no more replaceable battery but worth losing it for waterproofing and build quality. G6 is way nicer than the v20.
Only other option is iPhone 8 but I think it's just going to be way too expensive.
What is this pixel camera? Searching Playbstore it's not coming up

There are better ways of burning away money like that.
Literally burning it is a better way to dispose of it than buying an essential phone right now.

It's just the version of Google's camera app that's on the Pixels, now modified to run on other devices. You can download the camera app from the Play Store, but it won't have the fancy HDR+ mode found on the Pixels.

Look it up on XDA Developers. It's the Pixel camera, including HDR+, ported to a bunch of devices for #TheRestOfUs

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Supposedly Google Duo is one year old today.
Does anyone even use this shit? I mean for real.

I've never heard of Duo or Allo again since launch, never seen it, never heard of a real person using it either. I'm sure some people in here can claim that they got their entire family to switch to a new messaging and/or video chat system and that it's the most amazing shit ever created, but people also claimed to use Windows Phones and we all know that never happened.
I've joined the world of wireless earphones.

Good bang for buck here rather than dropping $100 on Jaybirds that I would probably some how lose within 2 years. I decided to give these a shot because taotronics did an excellent job with the all aluminum Bluetooth speakers I bought from them.

Essential is up on Amazon if you want some insurance on whether it's decent or not: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074BWGRKH/?tag=neogaf0e-20

I have a quick question for y'all, not sure if this is the proper place to ask.
I'm receiving a Galaxy S8 today as a gift. Do I just take the SIM card out of my iPhone 6s+ to activate the S8? Or do I need to take it into T-Mobile?

I'll look into that then. Thanks.
Just take your sim out and put it in the S8. You should be good to go

The SIM card should just pop in since it seems both phones use a nano sized SIM.
