      Kiyasuriin, 07 Apr 2018I thought Bluetooth version is a hardware thing, oh well, you learn new things everyday~!It does have BlueTooth 5.0 on-board, but it is yet officially certified during its release. Without certification, u aren't able to use the BlueTooth 5.0 inside the Essential PH-1. And now with this update, users of the smartphone can finally use BlueTooth 5.0. Yes it is a hardware thing, but u need to get things certified before it can be used

        How about you add headphone jack in the next phone design? I consider that Essential.

          but enabling it still need the necessary certification, else it will be a dead part on the phone, like sony side fp scanner in us, or pixel visual core before 8.1

                As of now, this is quite a good phone. Latest update improve the bad camera algorithm already and the price about $400 nowadays.
