White or Black Essential Phone

[andrew_ackley]

Does anyone have a white essential phone on hand? I'm deciding between the white and black and have no idea which color to get.

I got Black as White wasn't available when I picked mine up. I'm incredibly happy with the Black Moon model however I think the White looks fantastic!

I was really tempted to get the white, but I went with the black color. Paid for it yesterday. Now, the wait for delivery is on. I'm kind of nervous about whether I'll like it or not because I've been using larger screened devices for the past four years. Is anybody else coming from a larger phone?

I came from a note 8. Miss that screen a little but this is good. Well besides when it freezes up on me lol

My last slab was an S8 — so only 5.8" vs 5.71". The display was nice and AOD was handy but I don't miss that phone at all. Luckily Essential's IPS LCD is at the top of the heap.

Yeah this lcd is really good. Very vibrant for a lcd. Who made this panel any idea?

It's made by Sharp. It's the same panel technology as on the iPhone 7 and 8. Sharp makes theirs as well.

Oh ok cool. I've always thought my wife's iPhone 7 display was really good even at lower res.

Got mine on Amazon. They even had a no interest $100/mo option. Gonna check it out against the Pixel XL2. Could be a good backup phone, it a gift.

I got the same deal! Sweet! I ended up getting the black one. The white one was out of stock when I ordered but I like this black one anyways. It is beautiful.

I had a black one initially when it was first released. Sold it on Swappa and regretted it ever since. So... Got a white one on Amazon when they first dropped to $499. Really glad I got it again and the white is very nice.

Is there any difference in the grip with black vs the white version? I had the black and it was slippery.
