Osom, the company formed by Essential\u2019s employees after the startup went under<\/a>, has released new details about its upcoming OV1 phone, including a very familiar list of build materials. Meant to compete with flagships from Apple, Google, and Samsung, the OV1 will have a stainless steel and titanium housing, a ceramic back, Corning Victus cover glass, and a Qualcomm processor.<\/p>\n

The stainless steel is for the phone\u2019s frame, while titanium will be used for accents like the power and volume buttons as well as the ring around the camera bump, according to Android Police<\/em><\/a>. It sounds like the phone will have a heft to it \u2014 Osom says the OV1 will be \u201cnoticeably bigger\u201d than the Essential Phone, which had razor-thin bezels and a 5.7-inch screen. The company also says the phone will come in white and matte black but that there are \u201csome surprises to come\u201d in colors.<\/p>\n
