For the adventurous someone is working on porting google camera to essential ph-1. There are some builds already but needless to say it is a work in progress

Get a case - phone cracks and dies with a fall from one foot if it lands on the glass
most feel is good phone @ decent price, but not for tmobile.
was cheaper in past, but i dont think anyone has a time machine to buy it back then
prime day price was : ~$250
few months ago sprint people got it for ~$145 (around same time sprint lg g6 was ~$120)

Battery is fantastic. Capacity is not what matters. It is a huge improvement to my S7 edge. One of the best I've used in terms of battery.
Build quality is fantastic. The titanium does scuff easily though.
Display is very good. It's an LCD, but the best I've used. I own an S7 edge and the PH-1 still has a great screen IMO.
Smoothest phone I've used. Extremely fast.
Camera is better than anything in this price range. It's not a Pixel 2. I'm not using the Google camera and for the most part it takes better photos than my S7.
Cell reception was truly awful on Tmobile. But since Android 9, it's been the same as my S7 edge. I've only used it for a day, but it's improved immensely.
I think that's everything?
Edit: Cons. Almost forgot.
Some screen input issues. Seems to have mostly cleared up with Android 9.
No good screen protectors. Although this is most new phones.
Glass appears to scratch extremely easily as noted by other users.
Lowlight camera is pretty bad. It just is. Better than before, but no where near Samsung/Pixel.
Brightness on Android 9, it doesn't get dim enough or bright enough.
Notch. I don't even really count this as a con, but some people do.
And lastly, weight. It is a heavy phone. No way around it.

Yeah. I have the black and love this phone. Solid all around, even with camera fixes. I'd gladly buy another one of these over a $900+ flagship, just bang for the buck.
Yup 4G

Per Essential's website, yes it's 4GB

Also, does anyone know if it'll work with Verizon?
Per Essential's website:
"Unlocked phone. Compatible with all carriers."
