No SD card slot, no wireless charging, no water resistance, a 4K screen to drain the battery capacity even faster, and to top it all off not even a freaking headphone jack

Another quibble is that the phone does not have the same waterproof/water resistance as the latest iPhone and Samsung Galaxy S phones

Downside (for me) is water resistance and lack of a wireless charging dock at least initially.

Like water resistance, a headphone jack, wireless charging, things typical with flagship phones today

Water resistance: I was looking forward to having a phone that I could use without fear in the water, but this phone is not it

If water resistance is a key issue for you then this would negate the benefits of robustness and size (below)Size: efficient design plus no case makes it nicely smaller (see photo)See the photo attached of the S7e and Essential.

I wish it had an OLED display and some more significant water resistance, but other wise, the build and the bundle here is a very nice phone with premium feel and stellar design that should last for several years

Water resistance can be compromised by scratches, dents, or cracks on certain parts of the device.-No Expandable Storage - This also doesn't bother me because I will never even fill up the 128gb of internal storage, but for those that would like this option, you're out of luck with this

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 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.

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 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.
