Essential is a great reasonably priced phone ($350, not $699) with an excellent battery life, very quick updates and no bloatware.
It definitely beats OnePlus. The problem is that instead of re-iterating, Essential started chasing the new gimmick - connected home and it has no money or install base to compete with Google/Amazon/Apple.
