imex99 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Yes sir, fail on my part....figured would be same as 6p sim but it's isim so no network evaluation yet. Phone build is awesome and feels solid in the hand. Included accessories are too notch. A few photos but nothing special. Using it on WiFi and all apps restored from my g6 with no issues. Decent battery so far with restoring apps and changing my settings so far. More to come.... Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jones Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I want to try this phone but if I'm gonna go caseless.... I want the matte finish stellar gray, hopefully the company will have that choice available for me.

Samsung has disappointed me in color choices Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Finger prints are a minor issue but many wraps if you want one...some very nice ones! So far, the PH1 has a better radio for me compared to my g6. Hands onto LTE much longer and send faster....no speed test yet.

I'm going to get one, but I was waiting for a display model to play with it first...went to a store last week and the clerk had no idea what an Essential phone was. Funny thing about that though, there was a picture of it on the store's wall - and I turned around and pointed to it.

They did authorize my card for $900+, but said they will only charge if they don't get back the 6P within 21 days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if the camera app update helps performance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iruntrains Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I have a note 5 and played with the essential phone in the store the other day and like the looks of it. Just gun shy from reading the Reddit essential sub with all the issues. I looked over the AMA from yesterday with Andy and it seems like they are working hard to fix several of the issues so with that said, what's the signal performance like with this thing?

I haven't done any scientific tests but I'm having no problem getting band 41 or LTE in general. On a side note. This is the first phone I had from Sprint that can handoff between WiFi calling and LTE calling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber5.0 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I played with one in the store a week or so ago. It felt very nice in hand, and it seemed very fast. I haven't been following the news on the phone to look for issues and real user feedback. I'll try to find the Reddit thread when I have a few minutes.

The biggest issue I'm having is with the camera app sometimes force closing. The OS is running pretty good for me. I did have a random reboot when leaving my house using Android Auto. Other than that the phone has run smoothly. The hardware feels so good in the hand and it feels more durable than the new Samsung. I don't know if it is though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imex99 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Enjoying my PH1, just need to keep fixing stuff with each update and camera update. Solid build just some bugs in the phones software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imex99 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 When phone is in do not disturb mode, have options set for calls and texts from starred contacts, not receiving and texts or calls from anyone. Alarms works of course but not texts or calls. Can anyone else test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
