This update is rolling out now, and if you’re already running the Android P Developer Preview on your Essential Phone, you should get this Android P Beta update over the air.

Essential has been fast with software updates, pushing them out within days of Google’s release to Pixel phones, and sometimes even the same day as Google. That has applied with the Android P beta releases, too, and it continues today with this latest Android P build.
