The Essential Phone is now available for pre-order on Sprint
Sprint announced today that Android creator Andy Rubin's Essential Phone is finally available for pre-order.
An unlocked version of the phone has been available for pre-order on the company's website since May, but now, it's available on Sprint specifically. This is the first time it's been available from the phone's exclusive US carrier.
The phones were originally supposed to be available 30 days after Essential launched in May, but the company was unable to hit that deadline.
Yesterday, Essential customers who reserved the phone received an email notifying them that it would start shipping within 7 days. Today, the 5.71-inch phone with edge-to-edge display and 128GB of storage is finally available.
The Essential Phone is a Sprint exclusive for now, and it could likely remain that way. It's now available for U.S. customers at a $699 price tag. Bundling your phone with the Essential 360 Camera bumps that up to $749.
Head to Sprint to place your order, and start enjoying the world from the perspective of your Essential Phone.
