The Essential Phone 2 – also known as the Essential Phone PH-2 – will improve on its predecessor’s most significant shortcoming, according to a new report.
The Essential Phone PH-1 wasn’t a bad handset per se, especially when you consider that it was the first smartphone designed and manufactured by the Californian startup, but at the same time it also wasn’t the big hit Essential thought it would be – the result of an overly-optimistic price tag and a sub-par camera.
If Essential is able to offer high-end hardware at a competitive price (think: OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T), there’s a chance it could win back some customers who were left with a sour taste in their mouth after picking up the Essential Phone PH-1. The only way it’s going to do that, however, is by undercutting its competitors.
