In August 2017, Android father Andy Rubin and his team built a smartphone Essential Phone, and after just over a year, the Essential Phone project was in trouble.
In February 2020, Essential announced that it would no longer provide software updates for the Essential Phone, and at the same time, Android father Andy Rubin terminated the development of Essential Phone 2.
On February 21, according to Phone Arena, after Android father Andy Rubin canceled the Essential Phone 2 research and development project, Andy Rubin's team left Essential and independently developed a new mobile phone, named OSOM OV1.
Phone Arena pointed out that the full name of OSOM is "Out of vision, Out of mind", emphasizing privacy protection.

It is worth noting that Phone Arena exposed the spy photos of the new OSOM OV1 machine, which showed that the machine supported wireless charging, and other details were temporarily unknown.
Wolfgang W. Muller, the company's chief marketing officer, revealed that the new OSOM OV1 machine is expected to be officially released in the summer of 2022.
