About half a month ago, Andy Rubin, the "father of Android", was reported to have left Essential. It was only a few months since he left Google to release the first smartphone, the Essential Phone. After the release of the Essential Phone, the sales volume was also poor, and the price dropped frequently. Essential, a smart phone brand, was also known to be unstable. Fortunately, foreign media reported recently that Andy Rubin would return to Essential in the near future and continue to cooperate with Playground Global, a venture capital firm, just for "vacation" rather than resignation.

After the sale of Essential Home, there have been many disputes, such as hasty delivery schedule, frequent ticket skipping due to insufficient capacity, missed the golden sales period, and crazy price diving. However, Andy Rubin has not commented on this. However, it is reported that he will also be committed to developing the Essential Home smart speakers to challenge Amazon Echo, Google Home and other smart home systems. According to the development blueprint of Essential, it will also support Apple HomeKit Google Nest、 Samsung's SmartThings and other smart home devices under different protocols.
