When I reviewed the Essential Phone, I spent a significant amount of time talking about the phone’s camera. In short, the experience was not good. The camera was slow to start, and slower still to take a photo.
However, Essential promised to address any camera issues with frequent software updates, and so far the company has lived up to its promise.
In a tweet sent out on Friday, the company says it’s updated the Essential Phone camera app to reduce shutter lag, as well as improve low light performance and overall stability.

I haven’t had a chance to check out the updated app just yet, but if Play Store reviews are any indication, Essential has, in fact, managed to improve some of the experience. A variety of factors, like overall speed, still need work, but it seems the company is moving in the right direction.
Have you had a chance to use the updated camera app? Share your experiences in the comment section.
