The Essential Phone is a phone that was many troubles in his short life. Despite the many obstacles trying to bury this project, the best managers were confident that they had already started work to launch the second version next year.
Despite the company’s low level of transparency, it released the sales data it received a few months ago. The figure was around 5,000 copies, which is a major failure in this market. Today, some time later, we were able to find out Sales have improved and there are now around 50,000 copies. Despite being multiplied by 10, they’re still pretty poor, so the company needs to know how to combat it in its next release.

And where does this data come from? As we read i PhAndroidthe Essential phone camera aplicación It’s been on the Google plus Aplicación Store for a while and has actually been updated several times. The point is that This aplicación recently surpassed 50000 downloads. Assuming that each usuario has updated at least once, the counts are displayed.
If we add to this number those users who have never updated the application, the numbers could be a little higherTherefore, it is not convenient to take these numbers literally. In any case, and as we have already mentioned, the sales of the Essential are still far from what is expected of a high-end terminal. It seems that even the massive $200 markdown wasn’t a strong move forward.
Let’s hope that Andy Rubin’s company will have better luck in his next adventure and we will see a competitor that is at the best level on the Android platform.
