Essential Phone gets listed on Best Buy, Sprint version costs $50 more than unlocked (Updated)
UPDATE: Best Buy has removed the $749 pricing from the listing. It now only shows the Sprint Essential Phone as "Coming soon", which leads us to believe that the figure was either inaccurate or merely a placeholder.
There are four different variants listed: the unlocked and Sprint versions, each in either Black Moon or Pure White. But what's more interesting is that, for whatever reason, Sprint's variants are both listed with a $749 price tag, which is $50 higher than the unlocked variants. Whether this is an error or some particularly unwise choice on Sprint's part, however, remains to be seen.
And while this still doesn't give us a concrete answer as to when the Phone will become available, it does show that the device will be available from actual retailers, instead of just through Sprint or Essential's own website.
In related news, the company's Twitter account recently posted a short GIF showing how its 360-degree camera accessory will snap to the Phone's back:
Future-proof is essential. It's as easy as a snap, and fun too! #thisisessentialpic.twitter.com/e8ZiKQHRpS
