Luxury pocket computers off contract retail for 700-900 burgerbucks. This isn't new.

>>61986273
According to early reviews the camera is shitty.
I love the physical design of the device. But I won't buy it because I can't install Ubuntu/Plasma Mobile, and I double won't buy it because their marketing is all bullshit about user rights and device longevity.
Bullshit.
If they cared about that it wouldn't be proprietary, hard stop. The number one thing extending the life of old hardware is free software.

So what is good about this again?

>>61986366
It's a flagship level phone with meme full screen design and good software from one of the creators of Android

It's also a trojan horse so What's his face can launch Essential OS, which is trying to be a smart-home AI Android

It would be literally perfect if they just removed the front facing camera completely. I'm not some faggot who spends all day taking "selfies" and posting them on social media.

>>61986366
it looks good, dumbass

>>61986300
Look like premium stuff. Will it be an premium phone, anon?

You know they said in a tweet that the bootloader will be unlockable. What about it makes you think they would restrict custom ROMs for it?

>>61986446
From early reviews it sounds like it's as clean as Android can possibly get. It has its own camera app and some extra switch to send diagnostics to Essential but that's it. It was made the creator of Android after all.

>>61986485

It's the most ideal placement if you want a true bezelless screen across the top. And don't suggest putting it on the bottom bezel because that's even worse.
I think it looks cool, like the screen and frame are matching puzzle pieces.

Then you don't know how consumerism works.

>>61986279
The most anyone should spend on a phone is $150. Anything over that is just meme tier.

It's sad, millennials don't even own a nice laptop but buy a fucking $800 phone. It's literal autism.

Cool story. Still worthless as a productivity laptop and immensely overpriced for the specs. Only retards buy Apple products.

>>61987738
Software updates kill battery, no matter what Google would like you to believe with their Doze meme. I swear, Jelly Bean had the best battery life of all Android versions to date. Ever since my phone got upped to Lollipop/Marshmallow, it started shitting the bed with battery life. Even if that doesn't happen, batteries do degrade over time, and having a removable battery just allows you to put your phone on life support for another year or two. Just another way to keep you from getting cucked by companies.

>>61987792
hm is that so? haven't owned an android phone in years. never had these issues with the iphone 6/6s or even the two windows phones I used to own

>>61987792
Updates don't kill the battery - the bloat does. Doze IS a meme though - by design it only works when the phone is laying still, on a table for example.

>>61987787
the hardware/price ratio is bad, but only on paper. the macbook's advantage is that the os and software are optimized for exactly those devices and thus perform better as compared to windows laptops. there's a reason why media creators (design, film etc) prefer macs by a large margin. they are better in those fields

phone batteries these days have 8-12hrs SoT and hold 2-3 day long charges, and can charge fully in 30 minutes

the only excuse is putting in a new battery for the sake of battery life improvement on a device you've heavily used for a couple years, and this can still be done

Supposedly the only reason that haven't claimed it is waterproof is because they didn't apply for the certification fast enough before going to market.

Sounds like the same meme iphone tried to pull

They can still get certification after the fact cant they?

Why do you need an SD card when it has 128 GB of memory? That's just insane. Learn to prioritize then Jesus. Also pretty sure it's not water proof but why does that matter? You live in water?

I would wait a month for all of the serious reviews to come out and for essential to get its shit together before buying it.

Nope.

Clueless? The S8 is still the nicest looking phone on the market believe it or not.

Why do phones have to get thinner? They're more than thing enough now.

>>62001537
Obviously the implication was that I wouldn't buy anything like that as long as alternatives exist, which they still do. Very few of them, but there are still some.

Once no manufacturer includes those three things in any of their devices then I will of course adapt.

Pretty neat and cheap, about 12e. The real downside for me is having another device you have to charge, so I keep the wired ones in my backpack. I can see this along the ocassional use of a dongle, but for people using good HiFi cans, the jack removal is stupid

The reason is comfyness and ease of use. Also the stigma that Apple is for creative people. Apple perpetuated this meme by parading around the fact that their built in creative suite (mainly iMovie) is leagues ahead of whatever Windows had at the time. Plus, for a good amount of time, Adobe was exclusive with Macs. Really, it's the content creators unwillingness to move away from Mac. Not that it affects you as the consumer of those creative goods or anything.

i dropped $2500 on a laptop 2 years ago. they delayed the laptop about a month. i wrecked my car, cancelled the laptop, and put the money down on a new car. Always meant to go back and buy a nice laptop but the one i would have bought for too many burgerbucks would be borderline "nice" now. On top of that, my $600 phone does what i need and i can rdp into my home pc on a fucking 4g connection if i really need to do heavy lifting while im out.

not him but i'm on redmi 2. sure, support ended but it's still perfectly usable phone. i think i can easily get another year-two before i'll feel like i need to replace it.

You have no idea what in the fuck you are talking about. Here's a piece of advice for when you grow up, so don't forget. If you don't know what you're talking about either:
A) Inform yourself about it.
or
B) Shut your stupid mouth because you'll make yourself look retard like you already are doing.

My point still stands that you should fucking kill yourself.

How will you replace the battery in two years? Because if the battery is user replaceable, ebay will have a lot of oem batteries for it as it was meant to be changed. If on the other hand its not de facto user replaceable, those batteries will be shitty knockoffs.
