Andy Rubin is making a comeback in the smartphone space after leaving Google over two years ago. Back in January, Rubin announced Essential, a new venture aimed at designing a premium smartphone with an edge-to-edge display. In March, he teased that product further confirming that the device won't have any surrounding bezels.
The image showed the smartphone will feature a button on the side and a cutout for the speaker. The smartphone recently appeared on GFXBench, hinting at the use of Snapdragon 835 platform with 4GB RAM, a 12MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera. Eric Schmidt, Executive Chairman of Google's parent Alphabet Inc recently confirmed that Essential's first smartphone will run Android.
