ForFreedomon Essential Phone, available now

All these phone hardware manufacturers say their phone is better than the rest by adding extra. TBH none of the extras are really needed for a common person.

A common person uses the phone for "hello, how are you?" and social netowrking, games and some productivity. Anything more one would get a GoPro.

I have an iphone 6 and albeit its rather slow at times and receive iOS updates as the latest phones to an extend.

The android phones in the market takes about a year for an android update to be out in the market and one would have to be really lucky to get the update.

The phone manufactures in general can claim that the materials used are from the asteroid or whatever but the phone is actually limited by the OS & electronics capability

Not sure how Essential Phone is going to change any of this.
