Andy Rubin, creator of Android Operating System, let the whole world know that his team (made of Apple and Google employees) is going to give life to “Essential Smartphone”.
After two months, Rubin just gave us a glimpse of what’s to come via Twitter post.
I’m really excited about how this is shaping up. Eager to get it in more people’s hands… pic.twitter.com/LRzQCFSKTm

The picture just shows the top-right edge of the phone, nothing else. But it does present a very slim bezel that he mentioned before.
This could be the prototype that will come bigger than the iPhone 7 Plus‘ 5.5-inch screen but smaller in overall build.

Apart from the rounded screen corner which was found on the LG G6, nothing else can be seen here.
The almost non-existing bezel will also include a pressure sensitive touch, much like the iPhone’s.
A magnetic connector allowing for battery charging and adding new features will become one of the highlights of the Essential smartphone.
Rubin mentioned that it aims to challenge the likes of Google and Apple so the price won’t come cheap once it launches this mid-year.
