Canadian carrier Telus is currently offering Andy Rubin’s first post-Google effort, Essential Phone, for $0 on a two-year contract with a monthly data plan which costs $95. The outright purchase of this phone still remains at $1,050. Recall that on September 8th when Telus exclusively released this phone in Canada, the contract cost was $290, this price dropped to $200 after about 12 days. And now, after another two weeks, this phone has hit rock bottom on contract.
Gizchina News of the week
The reason why the contract price of this smartphone took a nosedive is not known, however, many believe that it is associated with reports that only 5,000 units of the phone were sold in the U.S. Essential Phone just released a huge update OTA which will greatly improve the camera app and place its images on par with those of other flagship Android devices.
As a reminder, the Essential Phone comes with a 5.71-inch Full-Display with 19:10 aspect ratio and 2560 x 1312 pixel resolution. It is powered by a Snapdragon 835 processor coupled with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
Hahaha…Nice caption dude. You almost made me feel telus was sharing FREE phones. LOL
It is free, you just pay an extra 30$+ a month, or 720$ in 2 years.

$95 per month!?!? Crazy! And still $1050 buyout price? Telus shud just cut the inventory return paperwork to Andy and eat anymore losses. Even a price drop to $500 and this phone is still not worth the specs and ongoing issues..

All I see here is a phone that costs close to $2400 (minus the actual value of two years of telephony, that’s about $1900 only). What a bargain !
