Story Behind Essential

Many of us love to have an Android phone rather than any other OS available in the market. That is the reason the market shares of the Android phone is much bigger in size as compared to iOS and Windows phone. There are many reasons you may tell others behind your decision to have an Android phone, be its simplicity, affordability or usability. But, that doesn’t mean that the iOS phones are less popular, they have their own niche market where the demands are too high for them.

But whatever the phone we choose, there are certain features which sometimes annoyed us a lot. The “Father of Android” – Mr. Andy Rubin also finally realized it recently upon his friend’s criticism. After all these long years since he created the Android operating system, one night he felt that the time has come to create a new one better than the existing set of phones keeping the same Android operating system to its core.

What he doesn’t like in the current state of technologies that there are more and more unnecessary features which cluttering people live. That is the reason finally he decided to create a company having the 21st-century methods to build the products for the way people want to live in the 21st century. And the result is ‘Essential’ his new venture which will soon release its first Smartphone “Essential” to the market.

Currently, the company is running a limited time offer to reserve the phone at the cost of $749 which includes the Essential Phone with the 360° Camera.

Shoot Awesome Photos and Videos

For many people, the photography and video shooting capabilities of the phone are considered to be a major factor before taking the buying decisions. That can be justified, as these days at many occasions the mobile phones are playing the role of high-quality digital cameras with powerful technologies.

The Essential phone also has the capabilities of taking high-quality picture and videos with its 13-MP dual sensor camera at the back and the front-facing camera is capable of producing 8MP still photos and 4K videos.
