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

I've had my PH-1 going on 3 yrs and love this phone. so sad that the company couldn't continue. Of course there were issues in the beginning but eventually with all the updates they finally got it right. The only issue that is just starting bubble up is the battery. after 3 years I am now noticing that it is draining quicker. Has anyone replaced the battery in their PH-1? Would love to get a new battery and i'm sure it would go another couple of years.

Oct2020,
compare specs. Many/Most new Phones don't have the CPU/MHz power as this 3 1/2 year old phone does.
-Screen has over 500 pixels per inch, most new one don't.
In 2017 this thing was from Star-Trek.
- How about the Titanium frame? bet you can't bend it...
Camera has had about 100+ plus updates (really) & captures amazing pictures, (fast too)
-Many -New Phones- come with Android 9 and will 'Never' update, the PH-1 = Android 10. ?What other phone started with Android 7 & went to 10?? ...& began life in 2017
-Does your Phone do Slo-Mo videos?? ,this did 3.5 years ago.
Truly, As-New examples are $150+/- , or spend $300 $600++ for a lesser specs phone, your choice...
Will be running strong for another 4++ years.

I bought 2 Essential PH-1's and on both the charging/audio (USB-C to 3.5mm) failed within 6 months. Purchased off Amazon so Essential said they would not honor the warranty. I cannot recommend.
