I just came across the comment section of wccftech about a purported Essential phone. There's a satire video about a taller iPhone, just like what Sony is doing with their "new" 21:9 format. Just look, hilarious!

    underspecced at half the price. $500 for a SD630? lol

      I forget to charge my China giant phone and have to bring the power bank but the phone is heavier because the build-in battery is freaking large plus the power bank weight, I think it is heavy plus heavy means very heavy. I am not very happy with it because a phone should can use with one handed.

        I was a big fan of Sony, used Sony Z2 for 4 years
        But for this , ease don't launch in India.

          I don't care. Japan only. Japs are crazy, look at their commercials.
          But i must admit they make good Hi-fi stuff.

            64mp is already nothing new. Wonder if they even try.

              Exyvia, 08 Oct 2019It's wider than an Iphone 6, and also 2cm taller.Whoop wants an iPhone 6 and a remote control phone in 2020

                sony, you're disappointing meh.

                  Snapdragon 630? Is Sony that high? 630 is an all A53 core CPU and it died 3 years ago. If they used a 660 or the latest 665, that would've been alright. But using a 630? Please. It's time Sony mobiles files for bankruptcy.

                    How funny, the number of comments about a zero interest phone from Sony is inversely proportional to their sales. Many disgruntled compact fans like me .

                    About the 21:9 screen ratio, i would say "Hey Sony, when in a hole, stop digging". It is UGLY.

                      Lobo, 08 Oct 2019Worst design how about we bring all midranger series from samsung, oppo, vivo, realme, xiaomi etc and compare it, all of them have similar generic design, curved 2.5d glass sloped edge to the frame with notch (some of them differentiate it with waterdrop notch, popupcamera) and have camera position like iphone on top corner of its back (some of them differentiate it with more than 2 cameras). Sony here has better design than all of them, but poor spec with steep price

                            This phone is only 60mm wide and equivalent to a 4.8" 16:9 screen. It's a remote control.

                              Sony hired a random number generator to invent names for their phones
