On: Essential Phone, available now

Apparently so, according to the specs page. I thought the whole thing with this company was that they're developing a competing OS not based on Android?

Seems they have their own OS for home devices, ambient OS.

Oh, I thought they had Ambient on their phones too. My mistake. Makes a lot more sense to use Android.

[distances → ghostly_s]

No, that wasn't their goal, it was stated to be Android from the beginning.

What do they need Andy for, then? The press I've seen with him over the past year seemed to be pushing the narrative that he started this company to 'correct the mistakes' of Android...decided that's too much work?
