camera system built for a phone.” You get a pair of<br />
13Mp cameras, with one capturing in colour and<br />
the other in monochrome to “capture up to 200<br />
percent more light than traditional<br />
phone cameras.”<br />
Next to the cameras you’ll find<br />
something that you won’t find on any<br />
other phone: a pair of small magnetic<br />
pins for modular attachments that<br />
will purportedly keep your phone<br />
“cord-free, future-proof, and<br />
always up to date.” At launch, the<br />
only accessory available will be a<br />
360-degree camera, though other<br />
mods are surely in the works.<br />
While the Essential Phone was<br />
designed to limit the amount of<br />
adaptors you need to keep around,<br />
there is one extra you’ll need: a<br />
headphone jack dongle. The Essential<br />
phone relies on USB-C and Bluetooth<br />
for audio, though a dongle will be supplied in the box.<br />
The Essential Phone is available for preorder for the<br />
limited-time price of $699 (£TBC).<br />
