The Essential Key and Essential Space work together to capture, organise and retrieve your content. Press the Essential Key once to capture your screen, long-press to record voice notes, and double-press to open Essential Space. Captured items are stored locally on your device and may be securely sent to the cloud for processing with encryption; data is deleted after processing. Essential Space recognises speakers in meetings, transcribes audio, creates summaries and generates task lists with scheduled time slots. Essential Search lets you quickly find contacts, files and information on-device or get real-time answers by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. Additional AI features include Wallpaper Studio, a news widget and ChatGPT integration. The device is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 platform for improved performance, camera processing and AI tasks, and includes a long-lasting battery with fast charging and 15W wireless charging compatibility.
