i still have my ph1 that i got back in 2019, and even with the frame falling apart, an incredibly scratched screen, a faulty speaker, a dying battery, it is still working. i used it from when i got it all the way to late 2021, when i really started to get annoyed by the camera. i dont think id recommend in 2024, but i wish essential made a ph2.

The phone that started the notch epidemic. Design wise, a yucky phone.

Everything here is untrue. Rear sensors are always the best because that's where your finger rests naturally. "Special case" then I guess every case is special to one phone because the case is literally made for that specific phone.

I used PH-1 from April 2018 to January 2021. Amazing build quality phone lasted almost 3 years. At the end, the USB Type C port couldn't charge it anymore and battery drained. The phone was still running fast and smooth. I kept it in the box but throw it last week because I have too many broken phones.

The best phone I ever had specially in terms of build quality and material's. The titanium frame along the ceramic back feels so exclusive specially in copper black. The perfect beauty yet strong smart phone features.
It's in my use since launch still going strong except battery a lil bit worn out.
But it's always my second daily driver.

For audio adapters, you can use Apple's. It's said to be of excellent quality, even for Androids.

I took it out of my drawer last week, I installed LineageOS 19.1 (android 12L) without Google services and I'm seriously thinking of selling my iPhone 13 and keeping the PH-1 for several more years... it's amazing !

It's hard to believe this phone came out in 2017. Essential was like 2 years ahead with the features and best design. Best phone in 2017-2020

Hi, i am using this phone from last 1 year got this as used phone just to understand about this phone, by far one of the best phone, great design and nice features, great build quality, as many users mentioned battery is getting drained pretty fast as i understand its been used and i am also using from last year or so, still using Android 10 on this phone but i saw one of the user mentioned they are using Android 12 on this phone, so kindly update how to get Android 12 on this phone. Rather then that very nice phone to use.
Thanks
