Firmware and Software updates

[Norgoth]

How will Essential be pushing through updates to the phones software and firmware? Will​ they be pushing them OTA to our phones?

OTA for OS and security updates. The camera app looks like it's also getting updated OTA since it's not listed in the Play Store. I had about 120MB worth of updates when my phone arrived on 31 Aug.

Given that Sprint devices aren't getting any Sprint bloatware, they're probably getting updated OTA through Essential as well.

Yup, got it last night. The link has been floating around the forum ever since they tweeted the news.

This is a recent change — and a welcome one at that. OS and patches will still be OTA.
