Essential Phone is available for pre-order at Sprint with a deep discount

The long-awaited launch day for the Essential Phone is finally…almost here. Sprint, the exclusive US retail carrier for the phone, and Essential have announced that pre-orders are now open for the Black Moon model. Sprint is offering the phone with some pretty nice discounts.

If you buy the phone at launch, you can get 50% off the Sprint Flex 18-month payment plan. At the end of the lease, you can trade for a new phone or pay off the remaining amount. That would bring the total up to about $440 for a $700 phone, which is a pretty nice deal. It just means you’ll have to use the phone for at least 18 months.

If you want to buy the phone unlocked, you can go to Essential’s website or Best Buy. Sprint models will also be available at Best Buy. Hit the links below to buy the Essential phone today!
