When Andy Rubin, one of the fathers of Android's success, opened his own smartphone company, many experts predicted that it had the potential to be a great success on the market. However, it turned out that one phone is all that we will see from the Essential company, because the company announced the suspension of the update for Essential Phone PH-1 and the complete closing of the business.

On the one hand, we can treat it as a surprise, because just a few months ago on the Internet appeared unusual phone concepts that could have been produced by Essential. Looking more broadly, however, such a decision is hardly surprising - Essential Phone PH-1 turned out to be a flop. Nevertheless it is worth appreciating that Andy Rubin has set some trends on the market with his phone, because this device was the first to receive a characteristic notch in which there was a place for the front camera.
