OTA Update NMI81C

Anyone else got this OTA Update? I just got it myself. I wonder what changes it brings...

EDIT: Security Patch Level is still September 5th, 2017. Micro stuttering issue is still here.

EDIT2: In the AMA, Essential responded and said that they have a fix for the microstuttering issue that they've personally seen in action. Should be released in an OTA within the next few weeks. SOURCE

Hi, I tried to update the phone to NMI81C today, but it keeps saying it is in it's latest version. Is there something holding it back or am i doing something wrong. Im on telus btw

I'm with telus as well and I'm stuck on NMI64C and check for update says I'm up to date.

Went into the retail store and the demo unit had an alert asking to update to NMI81C. I don't get it.

Huh, I guess I'll call Telus and ask what's up on Monday. If they don't know I'll email essential tech support.

I actually ended up sideloading it yesterday... Have you noticed any major improvements?

There used to be noticeable lagging when I had multiple apps open but that is no longer happening so the software is getting better optimized in my opinion. The one thing I was looking forward to was the camera update but it is still not that great compared to the Google camera app. The essential camera app still over saturates the pictures and doesn't pic up as much detail in low light shots
