In late May, Essential, founded by the creator of the Android operating system, Andy Rubin, introduced the almost frameless Smartphone Essential Phone. He received a number of interesting features, such as a modular design with the ability to connect external accessories, a body made of ceramic and top technical specifications. The device was supposed to be out before the end of June, but it was already half of July, and the device never appeared on sale. The company not only does not comment on what is happening, but also faced with the departure of key employees.
Earlier, Andy Rubin's company was left by communications manager Andy Foues. And now it became known that from Essential left Brian Wallace, vice president of marketing. However, the company still refuses to comment on anything.
The departure of two important employees in less than a year of the company's existence clearly indicates that their expectations were not justified. Moreover, the delay in the release of Essential Phone is also not good for the firm. Some suggest that this smartphone and does not go on sale.
The most interesting thing is that last month the president and chief operating officer of Essential, Niccolo De Maci, hinted that they had begun developing a second smartphone.
