The Oreo update will include Electronic video stabilization(EIS) to take care of the choppy videos that the phone produces. A new immersive mode will be available for videos as well. Apart from that, some of the issues from the current Oreo beta release will be addressed. Issues with loud minimum value and earpiece echo will also be fixed.
And finally, the Essential Phone will include support for Google’s Project Treble. This means that users will see faster software updates. There aren’t a lot of devices that support Treble as of now, and OnePlus has openly stated that they would not be joining the list.
