Essential Phone now available in Sprint stores

Sprint officially starts selling in its stores the Essential Phone PH-1, developed by Android founder Andy Rubin's new startup.

This makes Sprint the only carrier in the US that is giving people a chance to play with the phone in person before buying it, the company says, though preorders are available online now.

Essential Phone, the sleek Android handset with an edge-to-edge display, titanium and ceramic construction, and minimalist design, will be available through Sprint for $14.58/month during the carrier's promotion period.

Meanwhile, the company has released a few updates already for the PH-1, and has just pushed another one today. This update may be one of the biggest ones so far, as it promises to improve performance as a whole, while also including the September Android security patch, which just started rolling out to Pixel devices this week.
