Very good quality
Awesoem
Not bad, but black version has that matte black back, which easily scratches. Seems like screen doesn't have any kind of hardened glass
Not bad for a $200 CAD phone. I like the aluminum in the back and glass screen. Hate the plastic bands on top and the bottom though, easily scratched and don't look too nice. Also, the screen's not gorilla glass, just tempered glass which makes it a little more prone to scratching and breaking.
I'm going to put a tempered screen protector as soon as it arrives in the mail, the original plastic film it comes with will do until then.
Quite good as compared to others at this price. But The lack of gorilla Screen protection is tge main drawback. And secondly, the Charging port was so easily damaged..
Delicate, asthetic (gold and white version), precision finish adds a touch of quality. HOWEVER I was largely disappointed with how its software uses the hardware. My earlier moto g3 was far superior when it came to the software handling the hardware, especially the modem part, the modem in note 4 sucks when it comes to handling data. The octa core handling sure needs improvement. Xiaomi should spend more time in speeding up the core handling software to give its users a feel of the powerful ram and the usage of the 8 cores. If possible they should give the option for the users to use pure android or miui option.
MTK note 4. One piece billet case, lovely machining etc. Can't be beaten in this price range.

This might be an odd question...
But does anyone know (or can anyone think of) reasons why the Lumia 920 has a frame around the screen? I feel like it would be nicer if the screen was borderless like the Lumia 800.
My speculations:
1. On some Lumia 800s, the gorilla glass isn't always flush with the polycarbonate, especially at the corners of the phone. This leads me to believe that it's hard to make gorilla glass look perfectly aligned and flush with the housing, and the frame is a compromise that can "distribute" the unevenness to make it less noticeable.
2. The frame is made of softer plastic, which can cushion the glass if the phone is dropped, adding durability.
3. Similar to number 1, but this might be the result of cost-cutting in manufacturing. It would be prohibitively expensive to form gorilla glass with the tight tolerances that would be required to make it completely flush with the polycarbonate.
Any other ideas?
could have to do with the size of the glass being harder to curve to tight tolerances as well. my guess would be it's a compromise of having a consistent quality at a reasonable price point.
do i think the flush glass on my 800 looks nicer? absolutely, but the 920 looks and feels much nicer than the solution they had with the 900.

Soft screen glass
The overall build quality is ok. The only downside is the lack of gorilla glass. The hardened glass used on the Mi Note 2 scratches easily. Use of a screen protector is recommended.
I love the overall feel of the phone. It's very comfortable to hold in the hand, it's light as a feather. The metal sides feel premium, the glass display is a joy to use and look at while reading text.

Some good tempered glass should do the job

it took me a while to get use to the camera placement - but the build makes up for it
If you're looking to show off or have a prettiest phone contest? Probably the most attractive phone I've ever seen.
One words: Gorgeous !
Agreed. Although the black one is a fingerprint magnet..
The ceramic backing looks fantastic and the phone just feels great in the hand. I can be one handed on the phone again.
Design is fantastic. It looks nice and feels nice in the hand. A bit slippery though.
The design is great and the phone feels very solid. No problems with slipperiness so far, though I have only owned the PH-1 for a bit more than a week. I barely even notice the camera notch anymore.
The overall design of the phone is stunning. Love the look of the big screen, titanium frame and ceramic back. I've had phones I though looked nice like the 6P and 3T but the Essential Phone is on another level.
This is by far the best looking and feeling phone I've ever had. Amazing build quality and eye catching esthetics. It always gets attention when I use/show stuff... Now all Essential has to do is support it pass Oreo... To... Um... Popsicle?
This phone would be perfect with a bit bigger battery, waterproof, and no front facing camera.

I don't think I've ever used the front camera... On any phone... And 5,000MAh battery would have been perfect IMO, but I have to admit this thing is getting great battery life. But I'm in agreement!

Totally agree with you guys, I owned quite a few phones those last years and this is definitely the 1st time I’m so pleased by the look of a phone.
Really love it and this is the best looking phone ever to my knowledge if you ask me (I own the halo gray version by the way).
I just bought a Halo Grey model, and I can't say that it's all that attractive. The matte grey back and silver sides have a very industrial look to them. It's certainly not an ugly phone, but it's no looker compared to the sterling blue Moto X4 I had before this. Still, I love the huge screen, relatively small size of the phone, and the speed, so I'm keeping it. :good:
Great looking phone...and amazing battery life.
I use to feel like I had to have one of those huge samsung devices without considering anything else. This device is easily the most aesthetically pleasing device I've ever owned including the S8. I chose the halo grey and it isn't slippery or a smudge fest like the S8 or other colors of PH-1. It did take a little getting use to operating a device one handed without stress on the hands but its all worth it . I feel like putting a case on this phone is a crime punishable by lashing and then death by emojis.
The front is kind of weird when the screen is on. I feel that they should have gone with OLED with that notch. Or maybe a LCD like what LG uses in their G4-G6. The screen kind of looks cheap. The sides look nice, but the plastic trim around it is very thing and easy to scratch and crack if you're not careful. Titanium on the side is nice too, but also easy to scratch if you have the glossy ones. "Pitting" is pretty common too, which looks weird. It looks like they put a paint coating on it and it's chipping off. Matte seems to be a little better. Finger print magnet regardless. The back is kind of odd. The glossy one scratches easily, but kind of matches the whole glossiness of the phone. The Matte ones are nice, but I wish that they made the fingerprint scanner matte as well. It is shiny like the camera lens. Another thing is the scanner is not plastic like most phones, so it can crack, but it is extremely difficult to scratch, which is a nice touch. Also the back, whether it is glossy or matte, is very difficult to scratch, but it is possible. Also the notch is so small that it makes you think they would have been better without the front camera altogether.
Well the look of the grey one is superb; shiny, glossy futuristic and a bit industrial all rolled into one. The screen looks wonderful (colors, saturation is good), edge to edge screen is like no other phone I have had, they squeeze a big screen into a small space which is a good thing!
The notch looks fine, it's small, and adds to the overall image of the phone that kind of "does it's own thing". Like they weren't afraid to take risks and think outside the box a little bit. Call it "edgy" if you like
I am considering keeping this phone I just bought on ebay a week or 2 ago solely based on it's looks and the processor/ram specs. It really is pretty neat looking and kind of an original look like no other phone. I mean I know they all share design ideas but the PH-1 does stand out as being "different" if nothing else!
The sides are a bit thick for my liking, and the phone is a fingerprint magnet (especially the back). I agree with the other person that said don't cover the back with a case because the phone just looks so unique! It looks cutting edge to me..

metal plate at the rear panel is very thin and get dented easily and can damage the battery inside.
happened with my phone but i opened the rear panel and straighted it up with some tools now its good as new
I have blue colour model. And it looks premium . The mobile is thin if we look at 5000mah battery . No manufacturing defects on body , perfectly smooth and feels good when we hold it in hand.The metal body is beautiful.

I can’t say that the glass is strong enough. Still got a scratch. Oleophobicity at height
Don't have complaints other than the glass. Already some minor scratches and chips on the glass which is noticable only from certain angles. Feels solid and premium in the hand.

Only complaint about build quality and aesthetics is that the Aura Glow back is such a fingerprint magnet. Like nothing I've been seen.
Here's my question: if Whitestone Dome can make a screen protector that collects virtually zero fingerprints, why can't Samsung use the same coating for their back glass?
Samsung is brand which makes great build quality phones with top notch materials (Eg: Display) which you can find in the market.
My aura white is premium build. Nice weight to it but does get tiring at times but something I can live with.
Feels much more premium than galaxy s models.
As for the finger prints, hardly any on the white but as for whitestone why cant they make a back glass cover?
No other device I have held in hand feels and looks as premium and well built as the note10+

Agreed! I was just thinking about how great the phone feels while resting on your pinky. Sounds super weird to say but the weight distribution is so we'll balanced and the flat bottom of the phone so smooth that I don't get the kind of pinky irritation and/or numbness I would get with other phones. I remember the iPhone XS Max being so heavy on my pinky it would cause discomfort after a while. I know this is the epitome of first world problems and even feels weird to say but I never heard any reviewer mentioning this tidbit.

Completely agree, quality build is really good. I just noticed how precise the side buttons are, for example the "click" on volume buttons feels really good.
This is a major point versus Huawei and other chinese brand devices that definitely feel like toys in comparison.
The phone is well balanced and very thin even a good case on it. Owing to it's a pretty much nonexistent bezel it spends 24x7 in a it's Bolt case.
With the right case it's pretty much a what the active phones should have been plus it can molt its skin if it's damaged.
It's pulled some descent G's in falls in the case and is none the worse for the tumbles.
In the case accidental touches just aren't an issue while still having full screen access. In the right case it has an open feel about it while still being well protected.
Using it without a case though is downright scary as it's a slippery bugger.
Water/dust sealing and buttons seem top notch.
The curve screen is perfect for One Handed Operation+ and now I'm wondering how I lived the savage life without it.
Plus it adds to the screen and overall phone strength in spite of what some think. No detectable frame flex.
A high performance laptop in my hand... too cool.
Build Q is excellent. This heavily used N10+ looks and feels identical to my new one.
Switches, jack, seams are all still tight as the new one. It's held up extremely well. No detectable display degradation of any kind. Only repair has been a replacement battery.
