The above information comes from one Dave2D, reasonably well known Tweetster and YouTube tech reviewer. Dave2D’s claim is somewhat backed by the fact that Essential Phone became available for pre-order in Canada merely a day after his announcement. According to Telus, the store that offers the PH-1 as a Canada-exlusive, device will cost CA$1050. Specific date of the phone’s release is unknown, but rumoured to be the second week of September.
