Rubin and his new company Essential Products unveiled a $699 Android smartphone called the Essential phone.
The Essential has an edge-to-edge display that covers almost the entire front of the device. It also boasts the world’s thinnest dual camera system “ever built for a phone,” according to its website.
But it’s a pair of dots on the side that set the phone apart. They’re magnetic connectors that create a dock, designed to snap on and off various accessories. It’s a concept called a “modular” phone that allows for swappable hardware pieces.
The new phone was first reported by The Verge and Wired. Rubin will speak at Recode’s Code Conference on Tuesday night.
