This was an important call 2 and 3 that will never see the light

Or It is important, a company founded in 2017 by Andy Rubin – one of the parents Android – decided to close its doors permanently in early February 2020, before taking this decision the company had in its plans launch new devices beyond the first important phone.

The so-called " Essential Gem" was one of those devices. If it had become a reality, according to Priority it would have been a complete complement of our smart phones, loaded only with essential functions – camera, access to apps such as maps, gallery, phones or instant messaging -. But it wasn't the only company he worked for

One of the designers of the former company wanted to show the world what kind of new important phones were working on before deciding to suspend all company operations, including both Important PH-2, like the Es -ential PH-3 which, apparently, was already under construction.

This is how Essential thinks of PH-2 and PH-3

Or the page where the author has published photos of these prototypes has been blocked, appears on the portal 9to5Google They were able to retrieve both of these photos and details that Kevin Hoffman initially decided to share.

The first pictures let us take a look design of what would have been Essential Phone 2. You can see that its appearance would follow the same line as the original product line, with a rectangular body where straight lines do not represent them, which is the back part that would recur two cameras, this time surrounded by a small metal bezel, and that's it pins dedicated to integrating the different modules the company had announced and the first of the models. And a fingerprint reader is unavailable.

The major beauty change of this second model would be the fact that sidewalks of metal would be slightly curved, perhaps to improve phone ergonomics. In addition, the front panel would be protected by slightly curved glass. The remaining information would be a "notch" in the form of a drop down at the top of the screen, and a "chin" at the bottom.

Hoffman has decided to show a different version of the Essential Phone 3 design process, which was apparently full when the company decided to close the doors. In the pictures, you can see a modern design more than that two generations ago, even though it retains the same visual language, add significant changes such as reduction of marks around the screen, especially the bottom line, and the installation of a camera three times in the background located within a square module.

Apparently, one of the goals in the construction of this terminal was to achieve the high cost of materials, so that the company could thus selling the terminal at a lower price. Among its features, we would have found a OLED screen with 2.5D curvature, and a body made entirely of aluminum. In the pictures you can see how Essential is intertwined with different designs, where the position of the rear section responsible for the construction of the camera housing is very different.
