Google Pixel 2 will be my recommendation as it offers an excellent overall specs and performance.
More or less Google Pixel 2 scores over the Essential phone in almost every department over and above Essential phone is not available in India currently, So it's very difficult to inform you about the overall hands-on experience about this phone.
