Officially dubbed Essential PH-1, the Essential phone was revealed in May. Soon after we got to know that the company plans to ship out pre-orders within 30 days. But there was no mention of any carrier partnerships so far. However, now we have got to know about it. Sprint has just announced that it will be the exclusive carrier partner for Essential in the US.

According to  Roger Sole, Sprint’s chief marketing officer:

“We are planning to make this Essential phone very prominent in our stores and will have a premium space to showcase (it).”

Unfortunately, we don’t know how long this exclusiveness will continue to be. In addition, the pricing of Sprint’s pricing and the timeline when the carrier will begin selling the device are also not disclosed at the moment. While the phone isn’t listed on Sprint’s website, Essential is selling the device $700 officially. Stay tuned to learn more.
