Seems like there is no 'sweet spot' with the volume on this phone. The mechanics are horrible, between the quick feature and the settings command, I get two different marks, never are they 'synced' to maintain the same volume for one feature.

There basically is no way to lower my notifications ping, because it is either on full blast or nothing at all.

The vibrate will either vibrate for everything or nothing. There is no way to select which apps will vibrate. It is either all or none.

I looked past the ghosting of the screen because somehow Essential expects you to film it? Whatever. But this notification center is the poorest I have ever experienced. Otherwise, great phone, long battery and nice screen, boots up fast too.
