Essential is in the process of sending out an update via OTA to users of the Android P beta, something we weren’t quite expecting today. Earlier this week, it was reported that Essential has essentially cancelled any plans for an Essential Phone 2, which was confirmed later by Andy Rubin.
For those who do own this phone, Essential states the update has fixes for cellular connectivity, a fix for Dark Mode, as well as Bluetooth fixes.
If you’re running the Android P beta, you should receive an OTA notification soon. If you’re not running the beta but would like to, go here for instructions on how to get it up and running.
Essential, keep impressing us with these updates.

Enjoy the updates while you can.
For the 100th time, I’m so glad I purchased this phone at 299. That’s about all it’s worth.
Also got mine at that price with the 360 camera. Best phone you can get at this price, with respect to updates and battery life.
Hopefully they continue to push monthly updates for another year 🙂
No phone is worth more than $299.
I disagree, I’m fine paying up to $700 for a phone if it has things I need that $299 phones dont.
You are another one of the new generation of millenial idiots, these Marxist run universities have done a real good job in you, economics 101 as I can see it’s not your strength. Stop making excuses for your idiocracy.
lol, it’s a portable computer in your pocket that you use for hours each day. Just because you don’t value the added benefits of a flagship phone over a 1-2 year old and/or budget phone, doesn’t mean there are those that do value it.
… And that’ll be the last update you get
Bruh we get two years of software and 3 of security even if they sell the company. You need to research before you say stuff that isn’t true
Okay…..we’ll see
The report of was talking about the mods and accessories if anyone knows anything he was talking about cancelling of those products because they are getting sued. and they probably had to stop selling and development of accessories. I can still see another essential phone being released
Says the clown on the www.
Says the guy who bought a phone that has no replacement parts and no future updates ????????????
Actually the essential phone has replacement parts. 70 bucks for a screen these days and available stock. But okay whatever you say
lol i remember essential. good times.
