“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.
