Top 5 Features of the Essential Phone

[@Deevun155]

I guess sacrificing functionality for design is a thing now. Screw it, I still like this phone.

[@thezpark123]

Kasim Hussain Design is the only thing essential in today's phones.

[@Tb0n3]

KZbin really needs a "report e-begging" option.

[@thezpark123]

COMPILO BRO Your videos are trash. STOP E-BEGGING!

[@thezpark123]

Tb0n3 I guess it goes under spam.

[@tlf361]

+GearRedd Get one now. I picked mine up for $300 CAD

[@sardineBro]

I love my essential phone

[@kevino204]

Josh, the Sharp Aquos phone was the first to try bezelless display and also had the camera on the bottom. Also, it came out about 5 years before the Xiaomi Mi Mix. Js.

[@dhiyaulhaq8369]

Just put that navigation bar to the empty bottom useless space, it will boost the looks of the phone

[@lloid6619]

That camera is too much of a focal point for me.

[@OZAMA]

Next video Top 5 essentials of a feature phone.

[@Vhsss_God]

Get rid of the bottom bezzel and the camera needs to become smaller to fit the regular status bar size, also make the screen aspect ratio 18.9 not what ever they call that

[@mostviralvideos3905]

Man I want that yellow and red wallpaper link so bad!

[@lutherholmes4039]

For $700 it should be water resistant.

[@condorX2]

Wow. This video is 2 years old and it was sell for $700 new? I just got it used for 60 bucks hence I'm here lol. I'm waiting for the order to arrive. I hope the battery hold. That's the only thing I'm conc about since the phone will be for emulation gaming due the snapdragon.

[@erasmus4743]

Essentially lacking a headphone jack...

[@jorgearturocantugarcia9165]

Where did you get the wallpaper??

[@LordDirus007]

They should have put capacitive buttons on the bottom chin

[@noelventura2786]

This means boost Mobile Virgin Mobile and Sprint. And. Unlocked for gsm. Finally a phone for every carrier ...

[@chriscarr003]

Correction: it connects to the 360 camera via wireless usb 3.0. The pins just provide power. Awesome vid as always!

[@foetoid1310]

TALK ABOUT THE LACK OF HEADPHONE JACKS

[@Anmol_Thakur888]

This is my dream device

[@BetaHaedar]

That Camera app icon tho 👀

[@DARKANGEL9I9I9]

Some games won't work blue tooth is sketchy disconnected alot or wont connect at all my JBL headphones won't connect sometimes randomly and the camera notch glitches out some games

[@demindormant]

What about future updates

[@pratikthakur2148]

Why is he praising the 'blending in of notifications panel' so much? Even my Rs.15,000(~$230) Galaxy J7 has that feature. For about more than a year. (Basically... all the Samsung phones with android marshmallow have this feature)

[@fuentesjuanjose90]

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 enough said I have the first Xiaomi mi Mix and I'm definitely getting the mix 2 way better then the essential.

[@anb4351]

Its an essential phone without essential features.. Wow.. I am not even surprised..Its 2017 by the way

[@abhiabhi-xp9on]

We want to love it but it keeps breaking our heart

[@galbedrac1912]

Called Essential phone *has no headphone jack*

[@lifeisball1170]

Peasant 😆

[@lynn.chaaaa]

To conmenters: Planning obsolescence Get it?

[@jackjohnson3024]

Awesome phone with no headphone jack. Why?

[@kamruzzamanmilton]

Nice.

[@bluepawn]

Great review as usual... But I will never buy that device ! The screen can be broken easily so the new material will not help at all ! Not IPx7 that will be for sure the new standard for most phones (the bigger IP means that all parts inside are well built and much more reliable than other mobiles). The fingerprint is on the back... When I work at the office (or drive my car) the phone is on my table (in the dock in the car) and I can see the screen so no fingerprint on the back is possible. I would love to know more about the battery... But with Google and their terms of spying you... All data are used in the backside and the battery will die quickly like all other phones. So this brand new phone will bring nothing new (I saw the demo of the 360 camera and the quality is horrible).

[@mircydris]

Can anyone ever pronounce Xiaomi correctly, ever? lol

I'm sitting here with my 6p like: "Samsung, xiaomi, essential, apple, your doing it all wrong."

[@kyleg2920]

Jack Johnson Nexus 6P Squaad

[@alexd3411]

and 6p was made right??? It's a giant phone with huge bezels...

[@tsuki5993]

What's wrong?

[@kyleg2920]

Alex D it had propose, front facing speakers.

[@jackjohnson3024]

No Idealism over pragmatism.

exact version of iphone in android world, removing features cos those technology is old

[@ydn289]

hmm..

[@victoramurillo7663]

OLED or LCD?

[@andreamiglioli]

Victor A Murillo LCD

[@victoramurillo7663]

That's to bad... I was hoping for OLED...

[@cwk789]

essential if from china or?

[@Angultra]

The notch is the only one smartly designed, I barely notice it compared to the huge missing chunk of screen from other notches.

[@tamooralisidhu955]

still better looking than the iPhone 8

[@Nathanaelkelly9053]

5 essential features? 5:55 video? #coincidence #ithinknot

[@danialnaeememirzan447]

iphone fans be like, oh look when iphone 8 leaks another company rips it off. Lmao

[@_Gaurav]

Did anyone notice the cursor on his t-shirt at 5:24?

[@adriankyleabaja9271]

Woah you're right!!

[@aconfusedkitten3044]

Nope

[@Jordan_94]

no body talks about the earpiece !!! where is ??? is it like the mi mix ????

[@jayraoanti-agency]

It's a tiny cutout at the top which you can see if you look very closely.

[@Jordan_94]

and the led indicator ?

[@alexd3411]

It's on top frame, right above front camera.

[@marcieevee]

Omg no headphone jack!? Who cares get over it, hate to break it to everyone but getting rid of the headphone jack has now become an "essential" in most manufacturer company. It does come with an adapter use it or Bluetooth headphones not that big of a deal. Oh snap not water resistant!? Uhm unless you live under water and drop your phone in water on a day to day basis maybe you shouldn't even have a phone or any electronics for that matter lol. Damn no removable battery!? Last time I checked removable batteries was a thing in the passed a long time ago. Shit, no sdcard slot!? I've used phones from a 32gb,64gb and 128gb and and if those storage size aren't enough then either delete some files or transfer them to your computer..also not a big deal. Uhm did I pretty much cover what everyone is complaining about on this phone? Lmao on a serious note though this seems like an interesting phone might grab one myself.

[@kdimopoulos]

are those "Essential" puns really... essential?

[@huishan863]

5 features in 5min 55sec long. He's using the phone with his right hand most of the time, which have 5 fingers.

[@anaphylaxis6599]

IT ISN'T XIAOMI WHO DID IT FIRST ITS SHARP AQUOS

[@DaKarst]

The Sharp has a huge bottom bezel, so they didn't try to go completely bezelless. The Xiaomi Mix was the first to feature maximum screen to body ratio.

[@mrwarmth1899]

I think headphone jack, micro sd card slot, water proofing, OLED screens are kinda essential for a phone lol

[@rifqifazrianmuttaqin81]

Papa Zubi get out 😅😅 (JK)

[@柴柴-n1c]

Rifqi Fazrian agree

[@ankurmanjare550]

Papa Zubi so true bro

[@ovum]

USB-C to Headphone is included right in the box. No branding everywhere either

[@Mister_Jay_Tee]

Papa Zubi None of those things are essential to iPhone users...

[@AmanSharmaLovely]

I hate phones with non-symmetrical bezels on top-bottom.

[@TigerTT]

The name that they chose for this phone is really ironic LOL

[@ItsTimePictures]

The Titanium and Ceramic construction is far better than the correct aluminum and glass, which is fragile as hell. We need some bezels! Without them there is no way to properly hold the damn thing. As for the negatives, we have to get used to no headphone jacks (sucks hard). But I have never used an SD card with my phones. Ever. My current phone is not water proof. Honestly, WTF is up with needing to get your phone wet? Weird.

[@chandraprasad3211]

I think he is in rush to go somewhere... don't make video is rush...we don't want to see the rush videos ...we want cooler videos... with detail review

[@vamshrv3]

5 essential features... under 5:55.. coincidence..? I think not..

[@salarhaider729]

IDK why people are hating on this phone so much. Guys I would just say that use it once. Then talk shit about it. 90 percent of you haven't even seen this in real life

[@dinelkap]

trash phone. i see absolutely no reason to buy this over a LG V30. 2 years of updates like the rest, "splash-proof"(insert *water resistant to sprays at 40 degrees bullshit here*) *no headphone jack* i just dont like carrying a dongle everywhere i go

[@maniesh]

Ceramics are fragile, metal dents, glass shatters. I don't know why they don't use a polymer. I know its not as aesthetic as the "premium" materials, but it is practical. It can absorb the shock from drops, can be replaced cheaply, allows for NFC/wireless charging/removable batteries and lightweight. They also reduce the cost of the phone, that money could be used for better hardware.

[@CFC_44]

Cool but that front facing camera would get annoying! Plus no ip68 and micro sd expansion...? Aren't those the essential requirements for high end smartphones?

[@stangurule1017]

Pretty cool phone , it's funny seeing all the negative comments. If someone created the perfect phone then there still would be someone complaining about it. It also looks like Apple new phone is going to have a screen similar to this. So give it a few months and Apple will copy and say that they have the latest thing and try take Reubin to court .

[@nonyabusiness999]

Why don't stock android make the icons all the same size and shape?I like Samsung's icons with frames..its noticeable on the thumbnail where all icons are round except the camera one .

[@ahmetemreboyaci]

They don't do the data exchange through the pins. Pins are for energy, data exchange is done through wireless

[@ing-tangtawan]

new brand with higher price and less feature than mainstream flagship.

[@2110stelios]

Everyone who want to buy a samsung galaxy s8 or s8+ buy the Essential Phone instead!!! WOW!!! Amazing!!! WOW!!!

[@jag5508]

This phone looks good but going to flop hard . Because of one word Sprint can you hear me now .

[@celthric38]

Would've been so great. It's not OLED. Even the OP5 has an OLED screen. No headphone jack too. 😕

[@Low_pH]

Lol SD cards are so trash and have a high failure rate. Headphone removal is a big deal but i bought bose QC 35 so im personally fine

[@albertsroom2892]

Nexus series, pixel series now Essential.. yet still the selling point for android mostly came from "other" well next "pure android" phone please.? lol.

[@parker_aug2]

Looks better than that Xiaomi phone in my opinion. And I thought I would hate that camera lip, but seeing it in action, it seems to blend mostly well with the interface.

[@Chrissssssssssssssssssss]

You would want this shitty phone to take a 360 degree of you're failed attempt to sweep and mop over your receding hairline.

[@roberthardy5171]

I'm sitting here on my u11 like "Samsung, xiaomi, essential, apple, your doing it all wrong."

[@DaveFarr]

Anyone else notice the mouse pointer go across his shirt at one point? But yeah, good coverage of this phone so far. I look forward to the full review!

[@MyHairyChin]

Yeah for the most part it's a clean cut device BUT all the things it's missing will make me move along..

[@akmqb5026]

Really? People still need expandable storage and a headphone jack? Come on, there is such a huge amount of bluetooth headphones.

[@dacook1987]

Honestly if Google doesn't step up their game this year with Pixel 2 this may be my Fall 17 phone.

[@jonson856]

Isn't the front camera gonna be annoying when I wanna watch KZbin?

[@3venterLP]

Actually not. Because screen cuts that top part when watching video.

[@samjeong]

I think you mentioned data passes through the 2 connectors, doesn't it transmit wirelessly and the pins are just for power?

[@Zydain]

ehh.. Quite sure that Sharp did it before Xiaomi, with their Aquos Crystal

[@stiner8094]

Communication and power are not done through pins. The pins are there so accessories do not move around. Communication is done on 60Ghz band.

[@x3merx3mer]

is this a sponsored review? That would explain where those billions are going, cause they are not going into development

[@talhamalik1190]

Xiaomi mi mix revolutionized the whole smartphone industry. Every one is copying them now

[@MrSomeloser]

Those are not data connectors. Data is wireless, those pins are just for power.

[@saswatogupta6128]

I don't care how good a phone is, but if it doesn't have a headphone jack, it's a fail in my book

[@leoking8211]

is it possible for a camera to be both monochrome and regular ? that would be awesome

[@vivekgvThE_bOsS]

Are you sure that connecting pins are used for communication ? It's only to power the attached camera

[@rafaelrobles5494]

3.5mm Headphone Jack is still a Deal-breaker for me.

[@AbiNubli]

Since when this phone is very hotly anticipated. Even the creator doesn't know what make this phone essential

[@RandyWHorton]

Interesting phone may need to demo one of these.

[@Peizxcv]

Stock Android like all those Moto and Google Edition phones that were never updated.

[@sinformant]

Its August 2018, where are the other accessories besides the 360 camera?

[@kobeballer]

Can't wait to see what cool things some custom ROMs will do with that top part of the screen

[@johnnylohe9429]

S8 anyone haha

[@JanLotan]

Looks great! Simple, unique, and elegant.

[@Minto107]

One of top features is expansion, but there is no SD slot or removable battery

[@DebraDukes]

Joshua Awesome review.And you are absolutely correct about the resemblance I could not figure it out.Its a nice phone and definitely looking forward to seeing more with the modules.Something about the phone and the Simplicity I like but still not sure as I have not seen in person.Thanks so much Deb.👍

[@eagledoto4421]

FREAKING CLICK BAIT..I WAS HERE JUST TO SEE THE FUKIN CAMERA ATTATCHMENT

[@abhidey2824]

Very bad design especially the front camera placement and the bazzles

[@Krishnakumar-wl7ih]

The number of times you told essential is essentially, unparalleled.

[@daemonwastaken]

Man, the phone's cool but as cool as it is, it is indeed way too overrated

[@SLVRFOX88]

wish it was waterproof but its not a deal breaker might do the sprint deal

[@anther0507]

How can I watch fullscreen videos with this phone?
