“Essential Products was created to realize our vision for a 21st century
consumer technology company,” said Andy Rubin, founder of Essential.
“Essential Phone and Essential 360° Camera are the first of many
products designed around the consumer that embody our commitment to
premium craftsmanship and cutting edge innovation. Live streaming
Essential 360° video is the kind of unique experience and functionality
that is a perfect use of Sprint’s national high speed data network.”
For a limited time, get 50 percent off Essential Phone and pay just
$14.58 per month with $0 down with 18 Sprint Flex Lease payments1
– that is a savings of more than $260. Plus, get the Essential 360°
Camera, the world’s smallest 360° 4K camera, for just $199.99 or $16.67
per month for 12 months with Installment Billing2.
“I am excited for Sprint to be the exclusive carrier for Essential,”
said Marcelo Claure, Sprint CEO. “Combined with our incredible value on
unlimited data, talk and text, customers will love using this powerful
phone and its 360° camera.”
With Sprint
Flex Lease, customers can lease Essential Phone and have the option
to upgrade or purchase later. Unlike other carriers, which require the
customer to decide to buy up front, Sprint lets customers make the final
decision later, so they don’t get stuck with their old phone. Sprint
Flex allows customers to enjoy their phone before deciding what option
(upgrade, continue leasing, return or own) works best for their
lifestyle. Customers can still choose to buy the phone outright at point
of sale.
Sprint offers the best price on Unlimited – a family can get five lines
of Unlimited data, talk and text, HD video and 10GB of mobile hotspot
for just $20/month/line. That’s five lines of Unlimited for $100/month
and 50 percent off Verizon and AT&T Unlimited rates for a family of five.3
Sprint has more spectrum than any other carrier across the nation,
allowing Sprint to keep adding the capacity and speed needed to serve
customers’ increasing demand for unlimited data.
Striking Design, Powerful Features
Essential Phone boasts stunning design elements and innovative technical
specifications including:
- Design & craftsmanship: There’s a
reason titanium is used to build rockets and replace bones. Unlike
aluminum, which is what most phones are made of, titanium doesn’t
scratch, dent, or bend. Titanium is the perfect material to create one
of the most essential things in our lives – one we all sometimes drop.
- World’s Smallest 4K 360° Camera: Other
360° cameras are big, bulky, and complicated to use. We thought it was
about time someone made a 360° camera for the rest of us. Simply click
the 360° camera to your phone to point, shoot, and share. It’s that
easy.
- Full Display™: With the Essential Phone’s
stunning edge-to-edge Full Display there’s finally a large-screen
device that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand.
- Beauty meets brawn: This phone will take
on whatever you want it to do. It comes with top-of-the-line specs and
128GB of memory so you have plenty of space for apps, photos and music.
- Accessories that simply click: The
magnetic connector with wireless data transfer keeps your phone
cord-free, future-proof, and always up-to-date.
Essential Phone is enabled with three-channel carrier aggregation
capable of reaching peak download speeds of more than 200Mbps. With an
average of 204MHz of spectrum and more than 160MHz of 2.5GHz spectrum in
the top 100 U.S. markets, Sprint has more spectrum than any other
carrier across the nation, allowing Sprint to keep adding the capacity
and speed needed to serve customers’ increasing demand for unlimited
data.
