At the back, the Essential Phone, which is a combination of ceramic and titanium, has a 13MP dual camera, fingerprint reader and a connector for modules.

The smartphone surprises with its simplicity and strength. In fact, it doesn't even have the brand of Andy Rubin's startup and the price is very competitive: US$ 699.

We're not just talking about hardware on the Essential Phone

Essential, Andy Rubins' company, also bets on accessories. The smartphone will be sold together with a 360 degree camera that can be attached to the top of the cell phone. The company will also take the opportunity to offer a dock to recharge the device.

Both will connect with the metal pins on the back of the device. The intention, according The Verge, is not to change the USB-C for now, but the intention is that one day the input will not be necessary.
