I'm going to be traveling abroad (several European countries and Singapore and was wondering what experience you've had with your Essential phone while traveling (outside of US and Canada). It's much more compact than my note 8 and I wanted to put the 360 camera to the test. My main concern is reception issues with the device while working on T-Mobile. I've never had carrier issues in the past but am concerned about the antenna.
 
I have been traveling all over Europe and Asia without any issue whatsoever. I have a UK Vodafone sim card but I doubt it makes any difference.
I have to admit though that I a. I still undecided between 2 Preferred Network types and keep swapping between Global and the Main one on top of the list.
 
I've been traveling in Asia and Australia with the Essential Phone. No problems so far. Current in Japan and the phone is working great!!
 
That sounds great. I just wish it worked as well on New York City in between all these buildings and in the subway. Can't seem to get the 4g lte to consistently work as it does with my other devices
 
Does the phone work with local carriers in India? I'm getting one and would likes to know it's compatibility since I travel to India a lot
