Essential, founded by Andy Rubin, one of the creators of the Android operating system, has declassified a very unusual smartphone.
The device is reportedly being developed as part of the Project Gem initiative. As you can see in the photos, the device is enclosed in a vertically elongated case and is equipped with a display of the appropriate shape.
The developers are talking about a “radically different form factor” for which a new user interface is being created. How convenient such an elongated smartphone will be in practice is not yet clear.
Technical characteristics of the device, alas, are not given. But the pictures show the presence of a hole in the screen for the front camera. A single camera is installed at the back in the form of a rather large protruding module. Under it is a round recess - it probably contains a fingerprint scanner.
Finally, it is known that in the manufacture of the case, the Colorshift material is used, the color shade of which changes under different viewing angles.
About when the novelty will appear on the commercial market, nothing is reported. More details about the unusual smartphone will be made public in the coming months.
