The conditions of the deal/s may have changed since the initial publishing of this post.
If it's ___day (fill in the blank), it must be time for another price cut for the Essential Phone. This time, big box retailer Best Buy has lopped another $50 off the already discounted price of $499.99. So now, you can pick up Andy Rubin's smartphone for just $449.99. And the modular 360 Camera is now just $49.99, a huge savings from the pre-sale price of $199.99. The accessory uses magnets to 'plug-in' to the back of the handset.
It's not like the Essential Phone isn't well spec'd. After all, it does feature a 5.7-inch edge-to-edge LCD display with a resolution of 1312 x 2560, and it is powered by the Snapdragon 835 chipset. 4GB of RAM is inside and it comes with 128GB of native storage. And stock Android is pre-installed.
This deal is available from Best Buy only. If you must have the Essential Phone now, and you don't qualify for the company's own friends and family discount, this is a pretty solid deal. On the other hand, if you don't mind waiting for the device, we should see the Essential Phone priced even lower in the near future.
The Essential Phone is $250 off at $449.99 from Best Buy
