Thanks to tweets shared by Andy Rubin and Essential, the head of Essential Phone, we have first looks of the next phone to come out the ex Googler’s company – and it is a unique design indeed.
The phone from Essential looks unlike any other phone in the market in the past decade. It has a tall screen – even taller than Sony’s 21:9 screens. Another standout is that the phone is very narrow. It is like the Essential team took the external screen on the Galaxy Fold, and made it taller to make a phone.
Other stuff shown by the Essential team is the colourway of the new phone. Four options were displayed, with all four showing pearl colour-like changing for the paint job – like a gem. At the back, a single camera bump is seen, rather than the multi-camera trend sweeping the phone manufacturers.
Other than the design and colours, no other information was shared on the new phone. Not even the expected availability date. We may see the phone appear in selected markets sometime next year. It may take that long as well to polish the custom Android skin to work properly in a new form factor. 2020 will be an interesting year for phone design.
