Someone has managed to purchase an Essential Phone 2 from eBay, and it’s finally revealed what the phone could look like if it were to be released. The device was found by the developer of Nova Launcher, an Android customization app for the platform.

The device, also known as PH-2 or “Project GEM”, would have a structure similar to a remote control – longer, but less wide. The mobile phone shown in the video is 5.7 inches in AMOLED with a strange 2160x560p resolution.

On the front there is a hole for the front camera like other modern devices. On the back there is a single rear camera and a non-working biometric reader.

It looks like the PH-2 that the developer has come up with is just a prototype. The proof of this is the still unfinished interface.

Although it shows signs of needing improvements, the system built into the Essential Phone 2 looks strangely adapted to the mobile phone screenIt opens developer apps (including YouTube), shows what everyday navigation looks like, like the home screen and quick settings menu, and also shows some gestures.

Remember the history of Essential

A Essential was a smartphone manufacturing startup founded in November 2015 Known by Andy Rubin as the “father of Android”, he was involved in the launch of the first Essential Phone in 2017 but was removed from the company following reports of abuse and harassment.

Essential announced in 2019 that it was developing the PH-2. However, The project never reached the marketThe company announced the end of its operations at the beginning of the following year.

Months later, a so-called designer working at the company shared images of the PH-2. In comparison, it is quite different from the device shown in the latest video and its structure is more similar to traditional mobile phones.
