It’s been more than a year since the demise of smartphone-maker Essential

Osom, the company formed by essential’s employees after the startup went under, has released new details about its upcoming ov1 phone. The ov1 will have a stainless steel and titanium housing, a ceramic back, and a Qualcomm processor.

The ov1 will be’noticeably bigger’ than the essential phone, which had razor-thin bezels and a 5.7-inch screen.

Osom CEO Jason Keats said that the ov1 was n’t intentionally meant to evoke the essential phone. The materials are still relatively uncommon in most phones, even five years after we heaped praise on the iPhone 13 pro.

The ov1 was supposed to be fully revealed this week, but Osom is pushing back its announcement and ship date so it can upgrade the phone’s processor. Qualcomm recently switched up its naming scheme for chips with the Snapdragon 8 gen 1.

Osom says the phone will get’all-day’ battery life and that it’ll have ultra-wideband, or UWB, the same technology other manufacturers like Apple, Google, and Samsung use for things like precision location tracking and digital car keys. Osom said the company purposefully chose not to go with an e-SIM to avoid tying itself to particular carriers.

The ov1 has a camera bump, which holds the two rear cameras, running at 48 and 12 megapixels. The front-facing camera will be 16MP.

The USB-C to C cable runs at USB 2 speeds, according to Osom spokesperson. The cable can support the much faster 625 MB/s speeds of USB 3.2 gen 1.

Byob (bring your own brick) wo n’t ship with a charger in the box. Keats could n’t say how fast the ov1 will charge.
