    • The only complaint, and it's not even an issue, is the lack of a headphone jack
    • The camera is great, no complaints
    • This replacement has been fantastic, no complaints
    • , the cameras suck, you know, the usual complaints.
    • The other complaints I've read about this phone are imo insignificant
    • Battery is awesome, screen is awesome, no complaints
    • only complaint is the lack of instructions, especially concerning the SIM card slot; there is a ridiculous plastic card you have to make sure the SIM card sits on (might be under, can't remember now).
    • 845 chipset(c) Worst complaint is on the lack of headphone.
    • My biggest complaint is lack if signal strength
    • My only complaint is the lack of a headphone jac {at least it comes with a dongle :( }
    • Bought this after the initial price drop to $500 (note: have been using this as my daily driver smartphone for over half a year now) and that was already a good price, but when it goes for $300 or $250--that is an absolute steal!The camera quality is pretty decent, definitely not as bad as the initial complaints, and for casual use I haven't had any problems with picture quality
    • it's really a stupid complaint!Absolutely FABULOUS customer service from this merchant as well!

    • I then have to go to Best buy and pay $40 for a type c fast charger like the one that comes with this phone
    • I do wish it had a dedicated headphone jack but the included USB-C adapter works well enough and seems to be of high quality
    • Crosschecked the USB-C to UCB-C cable and (AUT) power adapter, all working fine
    • 845 chipset(c) Worst complaint is on the lack of headphone.
    • Every time the phone is plugged in to the charger, any charger, I have several different usb-c chargers, slow, fast, standard usb, doesn't matter, it will not charge
    • My Bose QC25 headphones do not work properly with the USB-C/3.5mm adapter
    • They include a great charger and USB-C to headphone cable
    • No headphone jack (I love USB-C)
    • I picked up a USB-C fast charger that matched the 27 watt output of the factory charger and the phone will not fast charge when connected to it.

    • The o ly bad part is having to log back into your apps when you open them for the first time
    • Horrible Quality Control on an otherwise nice design o_01st unit (on the right) had terrible connectivity issues, especially with Wi-Fi, with no definitive information if it is hardware, software, or both.2nd unit (on the left) has what is called "light bleed" on this LCD panel which is something I Am unfamiliar with, I received a notification and thought my screen was broke, downloaded a screen test app to confirm, what I was seeing on the ambient screen, or even watching a video, it is pretty distracting and discomfort when viewing.
    • It just works as
    • Regarding the negative:[-] Delay in saving the picture when using the default camera app (this don't bother me too much as I didn't take photo that
    • I have never broken a
    • It worked as good as on my Nexus 5x
    • but it lacks some of the features that the rear facing camera includes those features being portrait mode, 120 frames per second slow motion, monochrome video and monochrome photo, as well as we don't have a front-facing flash on this device
    • and it may not be as smooth as a
    • Screen is clear and bright (IPS In Plane Switching), but it's not OLED, so if you use in bed at night, the screen doesn't dim down as much as I'd like (compared to my old Nexus 6 OLED screen).
    • just works as it should for me.
    • Updates are available at least as fast as on Google's own phones, if not sooner
    • A couple of my installed Apps are not working as yet, but they will be updated soon.
    • I really liked this phone its worked great for 2 weeks now the screen doesn't turn on
    • I didn't like the small body, though, as I like the way my Nexus fits in my hands
    • On the positive I adore how simple this phone is
    • I did a couple weeks of reading and research on it as well as the OnePlus 5t and thought what the heck I'd give it a shot
    • n’t have signal in most of house and I missed a lot of phone calls, but the phone is great build and overall a great product except if you have low signal in your house it will compromise your call quality up to having missed calls
    • I still recommend the One Plus 5T over this if you have the extra money or have a CDMA carrier
    • 3T has a mediocre camera and it blows this phone away
    • Arguably the 5T is better than the Essential, stats-wise, but the elegant design and stock Android won out in the end.
