Okay, we're probably never going to see another Essential Phone, but that doesn't change the fact that the current PH-1 model is a fantastic device, especially if you can get it for a good price. And right now Essential is offering a pretty slick deal on a phone bundle that you just might want to jump on.
For a total of $399, you'll get the Essential Phone in either black or white, plus a 360-degree camera, a pair of HD earphones, and a protective case for that camera. That's pretty close to half off of the phone itself, and you're getting a ton of extra stuff thrown in.
If you're itching for that fancy Stellar Gray color, you can shell out an extra $100 for that, too.

So if you need a new phone but don't want to drop $800+ on a current flagship, take this bundle into consideration. You're getting top-tier performance for something priced like a nicer prepaid phone, and that's hard to beat. Essential says the promotion is only available for a limited time, so keep an eye on it.
