Essential Phone gets the latest version of Android on day one (again) - Android

Helmed by Android co-founder Andy Rubin, the company promised to deliver a phone that was pure Android in and out – no bloat, no padding, no garish design choices. Just the essentials in their most refined form. Well, the company did manage to deliver on its promise (for the most part, at least) with the Essential Phone, which was released in August of 2017.
