It feels like only a week or so ago that I said we soon will have full screen phones with no notch, and anything that's bought into the notch fad is going to look hilariously and pathetically dated, and here we are

 

Just a prototype / engineering sample at this phase, but it exists, and it's working, and it's obviously coming soon.

    It's not an engineering sample (well, his might be) but the phone was unveiled today. There's even going to be a North American and European model. Interesting, and about time they released another Find device; it's been ages.

     

    @WhisperingKnickers Nope it doesn't, I don't think they could fit one in.

    I have the Essential PH1 and I don't mind the notch. Mind you the notch is very small and unintrusive. But yeah, the next to no bezels are really nice. I always thought most phones looked kind of clunky with wasted space at the sides/top and bottom. Partly what attracted me to the PH1 so much. Love that it uses so much more of the front for screen space. :) This phone though, takes it to the next level.

    @MEC-777 Now that the PH1 is only $400, I've been really tempted to pick one up. It seems like it's received a ton of updates over it's life, which is nice to see.

    @dizmo I got it on a deal from Koodo for like $300 (on the tab). It has definitely become a better phone in just the few months I've had it with the latest updates (including 8.1). Performance is awesome and the screen is fantastic. The only thing I don't like about it is the camera leaves a lot to be desired. I still use the camera on my old LG G4 primarily instead because it takes WAY better photos than the PH1. 

     

    The PH1 is really tough though, which has impressed me. It fell out of my pocket once while getting out of the car and slid FACE DOWN on the pavement under the car beside me - without any case or screen protector. Picked it up fearing the worst, but amazingly it only had a few very minor scratches that you could only see at certain angles. It was basically fine. I couldn't believe it, lol.

    @MEC-777 Yeah, they're like $400 right now outright...that $300 deal on Black Friday was insane!

    The camera's still that bad eh? I thought they would have improved it by now, especially with all of those camera focused updates!

    Not that I really use the camera much.

    @dizmo They have improved the camera since I got the phone, but it's still not that great for a phone at that price point. The rest of it is so good though, I can over look it. lol. I need to experiment with it more. I installed the camera app from the Google Pixel on it and there's a ton of options and settings to play around with, so maybe I just need to change some of that and play around with it a bit more. The standard PH1 camera app is very simple and has very few options and settings.
