[* black] Essential deemed a headphone jack unessential, providing just a USB-C connector instead. ''[https://www.theverge.com/2017/5/30/15711282/essential-phone-no-headphone-jack|Risky|new_window=true]''.
-[* black] Flanking the connector are the speaker grill, SIM card slot, and microphone. The SIM card and microphone holes are a little close for comfort. We saw this [guide|87086|in the Galaxy S8|stepid=164350|new_window=true].
+[* black] Flanking the connector are the speaker grill, SIM card slot, and lower microphone. Just like in the [guide|87086|Galaxy S8|stepid=164350|new_window=true], the SIM eject and microphone holes seem a little too similar for comfort.

[* black] Essential left us a little surprise under the SIM card. With a totally blank and unbranded exterior, they hid all the identifying marks inside on a cute little tag.
[* black] We're amused to find that it doesn't come out all the way. Did Essential assemble the phone around this little tag?
