Andy Rubin may have gotten this company off the ground but he ultimately was the cause of its demise. I wouldn't ever buy a product from this company.

Exactly! I bought the first Essential Phone, PH-1, because I liked the design of it and wanted to support a new product. And to be honest, it's a decent phone, but that was before his misconduct came out to the media. Once it came out, my girlfriend asked me if I still wanted to support this company and at that point I knew I would never buy another phone from them.

This.

This man could not keep himself out the company ink and it's pretty clear he failed because of it.
