Will be a bit late to be released by this month, assuming if it will even be released this month. Pixel 2 will be coming, so don't see any reason to get Essential.

One men's meat is another men's poison. Anyway, as long as its camera is top-notch like current Pixel, I don't care about design. I use the phone more than staring at its design.

At least for me, it's not DOA (but I don't mind a price cut!)

iphone8 is out because it's iOS and likely to be more expensive.

Note 8 and LG V30 also out for me because they will be too big for 1 hand use, I'm very particular about this, the Mi 5 is the biggest phone I've used and I try not to go bigger.

Still alot of unknowns around the Essential though, such as battery life, camera quality etc. ESP ACTUAL RELEASE DATE!

Frankly, for the price, if essential is unable to match Pixel's cam quality, better don't bother.

There is more than camera for a phone.

Some people buy for the rarity or other aspects.

Of course, I was not saying it for anyone. It was my opinion, so I was saying it for me. Camera is one of the most important factor to me. Whether other ppl like it/agree/disagree is not related to me. One men's meat is another men's poison.

It is mostly DOA for SG, if it even gets the A part. :s13:

I wonder why you get so sensitive at times. Too obsessed with Pixel? :s13:

Nobody is forcing their opinions on the other. This is a public forum.

I am not sure where/why/how you got the impression that I get so sensitive at times and too obsessed with Pixel. These two impressions are incorrect from my perspective. I had no such sensitivity or obsession as described. I simply posted my opinion. Nothing more, nothing less.

A question to you, if I am obsessed with Pixel as you described, why I do not own a Pixel? Does not make sense right?

Correct, I did not force opinions on others, nor I had the assumption that others do as such. Not sure what's the concern/issue here.
