What is Essential?

Essential is a company made up of former Google and Apple Employees while being headed by Andy Rubin, the creator of Android Operating System.

Back in 2005, Rubin sold Android to Google and for eight years, he made Android what it is today – the leading mobile OS.

In 2013, he stepped away from Android and joined Google’s robotics unit and eventually left Google for good in 2014.

Believing that Artificial Intelligence(AI) is the next ‘big thing’ in the mobile industry, Rubin decided to build a company around Apple and Google talents.

Essential does not only caters to smartphones but also tablets, accessories and “computer operating software for mobile phones”. The latter gives the possibility to a new mobile OS.
