Essential Phone 2!

Reception was fine, but the lack of WiFi calling eventually killed it for me, I get really bad reception at home and too many business calls going to voicemail sunk it. I know it's at&t's fault for not allowing it to connect, but still was an advantage for the S9 I got on at&t.
 
This device has been 99.9 reliable, and does everything I expected, and more. If they get bought and the brand continues with the focus remaining on a clean and pure Android experience I'd probably buy again. If the brand folds I'll move on. I'll continue to use and enjoy it as long as it continues to perform the way it has.
 
I just ordered a mint Gray off of Swappa. Comes with Amazon receipt. I miss my white one and the gray will hold it value better than black or white so... The price was nice and low.

STILL going to look for an Ocean Depths.

Did you end up getting the Gray Version?

So glad you are enjoying it. I think this phone was/is underrated. If the brand gets bought, hopefully phones will continue to get released that will stay true to Essential's original tastes.
 
From start to finish it doesn't say ANYTHING to refute that the owners are looking to sell the comapany AND have canceled the development of the PH-2. When a major respected news organization reports that your company is abandoning its products and its business, you either confirm the report or deny the report. In the absence of even a weak denial, Andy has confirmed that the report is totally accurate.

Just for the record, I "liked" this post by accident and can't find a way to"unlike" it . . .
