Earlier, the company announced by tweeting that indicated that the company is about to reveal something new. And then just a few hours later, a silhouette of the next device was shared with the public. This indicates that the phone has an unusual shape.

The bezel is almost nonexistent and the phone features a cutout on top for a speaker, along with a prominent button on the side of the device. In order to go head-to-head against Apple’s iPhone will undoubtedly require something radical.

It’s still unclear when we expect to see a device coming forward. The startup will be relying heavily on hype building based on Rubin’s pedigree and Essential to have a strong team. The company is now focusing on its engineering efforts on high-end devices.
Just a reminder – tomorrow is the big day… #ThisIsEssential
