"2017 Android phone outshines iPhone 15 Pro's titanium"

The launch of Apple's iPhone 15 Pro, made with a titanium frame, brings to mind the Essential Phone from 2017, which had a premium build ahead of its time. While the Essential Phone had its flaws, such as an inferior LCD screen and subpar cameras, its ceramic back and titanium frame were highly praised for their premium craftsmanship. The use of titanium in the Essential Phone was considered better than Apple's implementation, as it picked up fewer fingerprints. However, the Essential Phone is now defunct, and it is unlikely that we will see another device with the same level of fit and finish in the Android world. Apple's move to adopt titanium may influence other Android manufacturers, especially in the foldable phone market.
