    Photos taken with the PH-1: Post yours here

    Here is one daylight shot taken with both the Google camera and Essential camera (with the recent update) and then 3 crops of different areas of that one shot to compare. I want to use the Essential camera but just can't switch yet :( https://imgur.com/a/UnjGM

    My issues - Oleophobic coating and scrolling smoothness

    Thanks but this happens system-wide regardless of the app being used. I've confirmed the same behavior on a friend's PH-1 too. I think some people are more sensitive to to it than others and some people may not see it if they flick-scroll instead of slow-scroll while keeping your finger on the...

    My issues - Oleophobic coating and scrolling smoothness

    Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I've already reset the phone a couple of times, no changes. It scores fine in the Antutu benchmark. The phone is fast for sure.

    My issues - Oleophobic coating and scrolling smoothness

    It's hard to see the scrolling issue on the video. I think for non-Pixel and Nexus users, it would also be hard to notice if they've never had that completely smooth experience to compare to :( Looks like this one will be going back for the screen issue regardless. If the next one still jitters...

    My issues - Oleophobic coating and scrolling smoothness

    Just wanted to post my issues here to see if anyone else is experiencing similar ones. 1. The oleophobic coating looks to be coming off after 1 week of use, right where I usually pull down the notification shade. I've never used any liquid cleaners on the display. Here are some pictures...

    The Essential PH-1’s camera is in pretty rough shape right now

    Here are some comparisons I took using the Google app and the Essential app: https://imgur.com/a/Lj1fI Overall, I think the stock camera app and the Qualcomm Clear Sight system that Essential is using does a decent job of eliminating noise as you can see in some of the examples. I see potential...
