The Essential phone

Essential Phone





  • Essential phone officially released in August 2017.
  • It had a 3 month delay after being launched.


This Android-powered smartphone is doing after the major flagships. It has a high-end price tag with top-of-the-line specs and features, such as an edge-to-edge display, which goes all the way to the the top of the phone and wraps around the front-facing selfie camera. Essential Phone is launching in the US on Sprint to start, but it's packed with radios that should make it work on all major carriers






Essential Phone: Design


  • Dimensions: 141.5mm x 71.1mm x 7.8mm
  • 185g weight
  • Edge-to-edge display
  • Made of titanium and ceramic materials
  • No headphone jack or water resistance
  • Has a modular system that includes two attachments

The Essential Phone certainly stands out, thanks to its edge-to-edge display that surrounds the front-facing camera and extends virtually all the way to the bottom, leaving a small bezel. The bezel isn't there to house a home button/fingerprint sensor, though, as that can be found on the rear where your fingers will naturally lie. The phone itself is made of titanium with a ceramic back for added protection.It will be available in four colours: Black Moon, Stellar Grey, Pure White, and Ocean Depths.

Essential Phone: Hardware


  • 5.7-inch (2560x1312) display
  • Dual 13-megapixel camera with black-and-white secondary sensor
  • 8-megapixel selfie camera, capable of 4K video at 30pfs
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, 4GB of RAM, 128GB of storage
  • 3040mAh non-removable battery with fast charging
  • USB-C for charging and headphone connection
The Essential Phone features a 5.7-inch (2560x1312) display, with a 505ppi and Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Also around the outside of the device, you'll see a dual 13-megapixel camera with a f/1.85 lens and laser autofocus and a 8-megapixel selfie camera with a f/2.20 lens. Particular attention has been paid to the cameras: the dual-lens setup includes a black-and-white secondary sensor.

That allows it to take in more light than a regular colour lens. Rather than be used for extra zoom, the second lens should provide better low-light shots. Both the rear- and front-facing cameras are capable of shooting 4K video at 30fps, as well.

Essential Phone: Software


  • Operating system: Android (version unknown)
  • May or may not come with bloatware/carrier apps

Essential Phone: Price


  • Starting price: $699
  • There's no word yet on pricing for the UK or Europe.
The Essential Phone is only available in the US at launch. It costs $699 for the phone, or $749 with the 360-degree camera included.

Essential Phone: Release date


  • Available to pre-order now in the US
  • Supposed to launch in the US by June 2017
  • Essential missed its target launch date in the US
  • Essential is already planning an international launch

Install Windows 10 IoT on a Raspberry Pi

Ever wanted to install windows on your Raspberry pi? Well you can now. This version on windows won't boot up like the traditional windows you use but but be a single window version. You won't be able to run all the apps you usually run but would be able to do some basic operations. This process of installing Windows 10 on a Raspberry Pi involves downloading the installer, drivers and the OS itself from a variety of unofficial sources. We can’t vouch for these sites or the files as being legitimate or safe. But we can say that we didn’t experience any security issues ourselves. Installing it will probably take you at least an hour, and you may experience some Blue screens along the way. But when you’re done, you will be able to see what Windows 10 on Raspberry Pi is like, and, if you have an Ethernet connection, you can even surf the web on it. Hardware required: Raspberry Pi 3, 3B or 3B+  High-speed, microSD card  of at least 16GB. A good  2.5-amp
