TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwired) — 06/15/17 — (TSX: T)(NYSE: TU) – TELUS today announced it will be the preferred Canadian carrier and retail partner of the new Essential Phone, available in store and online this summer.

Canada and the United States are the first countries where the phone will be available.

The Essential Phone is expertly crafted using titanium and ceramic, and features an edge-to-edge full display and dual camera system that eliminates any –camera bump– in the industrial design. It also comes with top-of-the-line specs and 128GB of memory. The Essential Phone will be part of a modular ecosystem of accessories, including the world–s smallest 4K 360-degree camera.

Rubin continued, “Our 4K 360-degree camera accessory creates immersive video and stills and allows Essential users to create VR content anywhere, anytime. I believe it is the beginning of a profound shift in the perspective of social media, news, entertainment, music, sports and fashion.”

The Essential Phone will be available for pre-order on at the end of July 2017, and online and in-store across Canada later this summer.
