Essential Phone receiving another update that improves touch scrolling, adds security patches
As far as the smartphone's software is concerned, Essential says the update should improve touch scrolling. Also, the update is supposed to improve the performance of the Essential Phone and add some bug fixes. Finally, Essential enabled a new fingerprint gesture that allows users to swipe on the fingerprint sensor for notifications.
The update can be downloaded via Wi-Fi or cellular network, but additional charges may apply if the latter. According to Essential, this is a phased roll-out, so it may take a few days to reach all Essential Phone units out there. Still, it's worth tapping that “Software update” button to make sure you haven't missed it.
