Spot-on review and analysis, sums up my own feelings on this phone as well. I had the Essential PH-1 from 2017 to 2020, basically until shortly after Essential collapsed, and I grew tired of firmware and software issues (partially caused by me modding it, but the bootloader/firmware was also really buggy) and the suboptimal camera. With GCam, the camera was relatively capable actually, but it was still a night and day difference when I upgraded to the Pixel 5. That phone was also way more stable and is still usable as a backup today, whereas the PH-1, while it works, has gotten kind of slow.
But man, I miss that build quality and the feel of holding it. The titanium, the ceramic, the ridiculous weight, it's something that made this phone seem nearly luxurious to use.
I wish phones like these would have more success in this world.

really liked the essential phone during that time, especially the minimal black area for the front camera.
However, the ceramic back makes it super slippery and made it fall on the floor several times, which then caused the screen to crack. Unfortunately, there was no way to fix that by that time.

I was one of the first 300 preorders and as a developer was excited for the oppurtunity to build on the platform. What turned me of was the fact that even though I was in the first batch of preorders for this "dev-kit" people who ordered later where getting their phones months ahead of me. The drawing line was when a crypto influencer who didn't preorder and wasn't a developer was on social media braging about the gift he recieved from the team. Overall that experience made me leave the crypto market altogether. This phone is a cash grab and in an industry where big name companies are giving their dev kits for free. Paying $1000 to make their platform succesful is idiotic.

"The price plummeted from $1000 to $600 in less than a year" Wow it really is crypto inspired.
