so this is the essential pH one mostly just called the essential phone we actually reviewed it on our Facebook page but I didn't take a look at it and when we first looked at it it was before it got a lot of software updates for the camera it was also before a two hundred dollar price drop making us peers to be at least a bargain at five hundred bucks I kind of wanted to take a look at it myself since I didn't do the full review we had to send back our review units we just went out and bought this one we bought in the new color that's available now it's called pure white so I figured an old-school unboxing kind of needs an old-school knife let's go ahead and dig in it's the essential phone so before I put blade to plastic I want to think actually YouTube themselves for sponsoring this video they are appropriately enough watching a brand new channel focused on unboxings it's just called youtube.com slash unbox link to it down below ton of awesome creators in boxing a lot of really cool products sure to check out especially this holiday season he's like to buy a lot of tech you want to see what's inside the box they've got you covered with the new unbox channel again link down below so if you guys are new to the channel this seems to be like my old staple this is senior stabby this is the original unboxing knife so I'm excited to take a look at the essential when we first had it in I only got it for maybe 20-30 minutes so there's a box it's got a tab on it go ahead and do a pull this kind of satisfying I like a little more whooshing noise action it should just slide it right out it's a pretty clean box if you're not familiar with essential it's actually founded by the father of Android at Andy Rubin so and there is the new pure white color which I hadn't seen it's pretty good in person inside you've got a USBC cord it seems to be a pretty good length it's also Braden it feels pretty sturdy charging brick it's USBC dongle no headphone jack so this is gonna give you on that USB see little sleeve it's got some legal material in there and a sim removal tool so so this one was 700 bucks it was kind of a tough sell but now I've got a 200 I love price drop we're getting a lot of phone for your money including the highest quality materials you ever seen in a phone the back is ceramic and the side banding is titanium and they claim it's gonna be super durable in drop specially the titanium band the most common drop is on the corner and ceramic it supposedly pre dura but we've seen some drop tests with the ceramic has cracked the front is of course glass and it is Gorilla Glass five and there's a lot of talk about about the screen first you're getting about 85% screen to body ratio which is really awesome at the top of that screen you're get a little cyclops that is the 8 megapixel camera can also shoot 4k video it's not a dead zone I should mention also the digitizer goes across it so you can still still swipe down from that area it does make using the OS look a little bit weird of course some apps obviously not gonna be optimized for it so it's gonna make the status bar look a little bit chunky I don't mind the cyclops look I'd rather be there than have the facing camera on the bottom but at least it makes it identifiable that it's the essential phone because there's there's no little brain and on the back the fingerprint reader is going to live in the back it's really nicely placed and above that it's probably our biggest knock at least when we first tested the essential and those are the two cameras so they're dual 13 megapixel sensors you're probably thinking one regular one wide you'll be wrong it's one regular one monochrome so we'll see how that works essentials put out a ton of software update since I reviewed why I wanted to go back and look at up seen some sample to come out after the most recent update and it looks to be drastically improved I'm gonna do a visit review I'm excited to take a look this I'm excited to see if it's gotten any better I want to do more revisited reviews so anything you guys want to see us cover questions you've got about this maybe for your own experiences in the comments down below and let us know if you like every now and then an old-school unboxing video come back up also let us know in the video a thumbs up we appreciate it until next time John Rand your from TechnoBuffalo
