Didn't they rip people off, and isn't it actually a shit?

That's a strange way to spell "Galaxy S8+"

>touchjizz
>best phone
try harder

go shill somewhere else (((rubin)))

this phone protects you from the botnet

They did have a really rocky start with delays and customer service inquiries. But it's a startup and should be expected. Aside from the camera software which severely needs updating, it is the most premium, minimalistic, bloat-free phone that has ever been created.

I heard they're really easy to wiretap though

A startup that hit !B valuation in no time flat. Are you trying to sound like a shill? This garbage doesn't even have basic waterproofing.

>But it's a startup
a startup with some serious cash behind it and the never ending stupid promotion of andy rubin who seems to be fucking blind and can't tell the difference between IPS and AMOLED or that people fucking hate phones without headphone jacks.

>$700
>shit camera
>no audio jack
nah

>No audio jack being an issue

Enjoy your shit water proofing and headphones

>$700
>No waterproofing
>No wireless charging
>Meh tier camera
>Not even a true 1440p screen
>Mediocre battery

Why even bother?

That's not the lgv30.

The s8 is perfect opportunity. Only poorfags will say otherwise.

fucking auto correct

>Essential phone
>Waterproof
Retard

>no audio jack
>headphones

enjoy your broken screen

Looks good to me.

That's just essential being retarded. It's a general practice that if you remove the headphone jack you generally as water proofing or a bigger battery into the phone, and essential has done neither.

>Not using bluetooth

>Essential Phone
>missing essential features
>like a fucking headphone jack
>and an SD card slot
>or removable battery
>and a way to securely communicate with customers, being forced to give them identity protection
>$699

I only buy chink phones. I don't trust white people phones.

>postulating an initial open ended question then changing the question to one that seeks validation for your own opinionated answer to the initial question disregarding that the initial question is open ended and has no definitive correct answer

wait so how the fuck am I supposed to plug my headphones into this?

>using inferior technology

Dumb frogposter.
No jack, shit camera, apps have to be updated to work with that retarded display. Also overpriced. Memephone.

BlackBerry is still the best choice idc what you fagys say

you use the adapter
that or buy new headphones

With this futuristic alien technology that they include with the phone.

whoops, already lost it

>Dealing with wires

Do you use an MP3 player for music too?

Keep it attached to your headphones with duct tape since you're incapable of caring for your shit.

Oneplus 5 if you're into customization and Nokia 8 otherwise. The others are not even close.

>selfie camera records 4K videos
for what reason?

Smartphones are shit. The only thing I use on mine is:

Phone
Gmail
Chrome
Pandora
Hulu
MX Player (but this recently stopped supporting most video formats)

I'm tired of spending $600+ on a phone that will last just about 2 years, after which planned obsolescence starts kicking in. I'd much rather spend the money on another home server.

>he's too poor to have multiple pairs of headphones

>no headphone jack
>IPS screen
>no msd slot
>no camera OIS
>no IP68 certification
>no 810G milspec certification
Get this dogshit out of my face.

Oneplus 5 if you don't care about meme features.

>muh lack of bezels that make the phone more fragile
>muh water proofing I will never use

the essential phone doesn't even have water proofing despite getting rid of the headphone jack lmao

>Enjoy your shit water proofing
>implying
t. S5 fag

Removal of the jack doesn't improve thinness. Removal of the jack doesn't improve water-proofing. It's literally a meme.

My Moto g4 has everything but a decent camera. Why would I need something that fails to solve the one issue I have with my current phone?

Where is your onscreen nav?

No the tech is okay (apx is audibly lossless) but bluetooth headphones themselves lack good battery lives or charging time. I think once we get 60 hour battery lives and 30 minute charging time with digital displays that show battery levels bluetooth headphones will finally be worth it.

While it doesn't improve it on the user side, removing the jack (or any other 'hole' in your phone) makes it easier and cheaper for the manufacturer to implement waterproffing.
Essential basically being greedy bastard

My what?

And since when meme features matter more than user convenience? Oh, right. Smartphones.

Hidden

...

muuuhh bezzeeeell

>$900
stop

it's a fuckin phone. It needs to take shitty photos/videos, text, take calls, and browse web. my $200 chink phone does all of that admirably.

I've had a Galaxy S5 for years and the camera quality has always been complete dogshit. Takes 10 years to focus the camera, most pictures come out blurry as shit. My sister's Iphone 6 camera quality is 1000000x better.

Any meme phones under $500 with good cameras?

poorfag

lol jk, I pay $1.5K for rent and a $400 car least and all my credit cards have been paid off but even I wouldn't spend more than $200 on a fucking phone. These people must've lost their minds paying that much for something you use to call and text people 99% of the time.

HTC 10 is actually really good.

My phone is $500 and I don't use calls or sms. "Smart" comes before the "phone" in a smartphone - it's a media device first.

The s8 has a good camera, you're using old tech

Interesting way to spell galaxy note 8

The only good thing about it is that the orangish one looks sick as fuck. Everything else is meh. No SD card support is unacceptable. These faggots think they're pixel or something?

>Essential Phone
That sounds like some pajeet shit.

>No physical keyboard

The keyone is perfect and it costs a lot too you faggot

This, there is no valid phone on the market:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseband_processor
>A baseband processor typically uses its own RAM and firmware
>Since the software which runs on baseband processors is usually proprietary, it is impossible to perform an independent code audit. By reverse engineering some of the baseband chips, researchers have found security vulnerabilities that could be used to access and modify data on the phone remotely
fsf.org/blogs/community/replicant-developers-find-and-close-samsung-galaxy-backdoor
>Today's phones come with two separate processors: one is a general-purpose applications processor that runs the main operating system, e.g. Android; the other, known as the modem, baseband, or radio, is in charge of communications with the mobile telephony network. This processor always runs a proprietary operating system, and these systems are known to have backdoors that make it possible to remotely convert the modem into a remote spying device. The spying can involve activating the device's microphone, but it could also use the precise GPS location of the device and access the camera, as well as the user data stored on the phone. Moreover, modems are connected most of the time to the operator's network, making the backdoors nearly always accessible
>we discovered that the proprietary program running on the applications processor in charge of handling the communication protocol with the modem actually implements a backdoor that lets the modem perform remote file I/O operations on the file system
Phones are insecure, stop using and walking around with a device that has access to your files and data. Stop using a device that is restricted and locked down by the manufacture in all aspects and is built on proprietary hardware and firmware.

The same reason the rear one does

Botnet with shit OS and crappy fragile construction

>No physical buttons
I mean at least it had it's place with the active line

>hes such a neet that he carries multiple headphones.

>he's dumb enough to spend $600+ on a phone.

>Have to remove the tape each time you want to use the headphone on another device

Where do you see this phone for $900?

>essential
>no 3.5mm jack

yeah, fuck off shill

interesting way to spell lg v30

>No removable battery
pass

>removable battery
ass

Lol what a joke. 1/3rd of the RAM, smaller screen, using a front facing camera from the U11 as their primary camera sensor, and shitty LG OLED instead of the far superior Samsung OLED. Not to mention no stylus.

>1/3rd of the RAM
Sorry 1/3rd less RAM (4 vs 6GB)

yeah well your moms a whore

You're the equivalent of a non-gmo veganfag. No one cares.

your mother smells of cum and box wine.

>marketed as essential
>has bare features
>costs as much as the most expensive phones on the market

sorry no

>tfw still using an S3 :^)

first and only smartphone I ever got

How is literal botnet related to veganism? You're an ignorant consumerist retard

>ads
dropped

It's actually the U11.

>no audio jack
into the trash it goes

>using the smiley with a carat nose

>$699
>for a phone with no headphone jack

Swerved harder than the local thot patrol.

>says this while Samsung phones have better waterproof ratings than Apple's equivalent while still having P2
Just get out itoodler.
