The third Android P Developer Preview started rolling out to Pixel devices today with the final APIs, SDK, and Play Store publishing. Now, not even a day later, Essential has announced that this build of Android P will be making its way to the Phone with a handful of bug fixes.
When Google released Developer Preview 2, it announced that a handful of Android manufacturers would be letting users beta test P on their handsets. While the rollout for the Essential Phone wasn’t perfect, an update fixed a majority of the issues many were having.
The Android P for the Essential Phone will include the following:
- Google Security Patches 2018-06
- Latest Google Android P code integration
- Improved adaptive brightness range
- Increased stability
Additionally, this update will move Android P from a Developer Preview to a Beta. While this doesn’t mean it’s quite ready for general consumer use, it does signal that the build will be a lot more stable.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear as though Essential is rolling out the update just yet, as they told a user on Twitter. They didn’t give an exact time or day for the rollout, but Essential should announce it on its social media accounts.
