Essential Phone

No headphone jack is a bit of an annoyance. Can't understand why they'd leave it out - it's obviously not for waterproofing issues.
 
This looks really good though, but I agree, would have preferred at least a headphone Jack.

This phone looks hideous to me. That notch at the top is just awful. Would have looked nicer with small bezels top and bottom or just a bezel along the top to accommodate the front camera and sensors.

I have a OnePlus 5 - I'm very happy lol. The design of this phone is objectively awful imo. The leaked iPhone 8 bezelless design also has a cutout along the top for the speaker, camera and sensors, and looks a million times less awkward.

I think the problem is compromise - what was the trade-off here? The silly design along the top is pointless with the big lower front bezel. The trade-off in practicality makes no sense and has no benefit.
