Anytime I put on my camera for like 2sec it stop and shows the camera has encountered a fatal error, if this error persists, restarting your phone will fix the problem. Actually am from Nigeria and I don't know what to do, if anybody could tell what to do I will be very happy. For any information on who wants to help me out this is my phone number (07039526721).

My second favorite smartphone of all-time only behind my Google Pixel 3. Even after 2 years having it, performance hasn't degraded one bit.
Still fast as the first day I got it. Not bad for a 2017 phone. Even my battery life has held up pretty well with only a slight hit. I try to never charge it over 80%. Keep it at the 40-80 range.
I've considered buying a Pixel 1, 2, 3a, or 4a. Why bother! My Essential Phone is equal to the 2 and 4a and superior to the 1 and 3a. Even SD 835 is very near the SD 765G the 5 has.

I've had this phone for 3 years. The hardware is still as good as when I took it out of the box. The software on the other hand has started to glitch out for the last month. This has honestly been my favorite phone ever and I hate to see it go.

Arabian Knight, 17 Nov 2020I've had my PH-1 going on 3 yrs and love this phone. s... moreThe phone has an ifixit score of 1, it's almost impossible to replace it without breaking stuff and good luck finding a company to replace it for you.
Mine is starting to have the same issue, switching cords helped some but not completely plus running it of usb-A seemed to help some too maybe by slowing charge rate.
I originally picked it up on a Black Friday sale to replace an old phone that had cracked and only intended to use it for a couple months while waiting for some newer models to come out but haven't looked back since using it, quality materials and really solid build and support.
Shame they never made a sequel, though the mockups seemed to be going in the wrong direction in my option heavy voice function based.
Shame more phones don't have a true monochrome sensor, and the whole attachable accessories could have been done better, why they didn't add a physical data connection there since they already have the other pins for power and instead opt for a larger more compenet costly, and power comsuming wireless connection I don't know.
Shody camera especially at the start, high launch price (though realistically comperable to others at that time on the upper end) poor and limited accessories (the 360 camera never worked great for me but was always a neat feature) really killed it and the company.
Highlights
Quality build materials
Great display (resolution and small notch)
True monochrome sensor
Fast charge USBC
Very clean android UI
Cons
Limited or no repair
Loss of company for software builds
Poor accessories
Camera was never fantastic

Works great
