It has been five months since Samsung launched its new flagship, the new Samsung Galaxy S9. And, in March, Google announced its new Android 9 Pie, back then initiating the first Beta version of the new OS. Since then, Samsung has not stated, at any time, what would be the schedule for upgrading its new terminals to the new Google’s OS. However, now, it seems that, finally, Android 9 Pie update for Samsung Galaxy S9 is under preparation.
As SamMobile news website of the Korean firm states, Samsung has already begun testing the new Samsung Galaxy S9 update to Android 9 Pie. Also, according to all rumors, Galaxy S9 would also be the first Samsung terminal launched in 2018 to get the latest version of Google’s operating system for mobiles.
Android 9 Pie update for Samsung Galaxy 9 and 9 Plus could arrive in early-2019
The Samsung Galaxy S9 and its improved variant, the S9 Plus, have already been listed in the GFXBench software analysis tool which uses Android 9 Pie.
Looking back in time, tests of the previous version of Google’s OS, Android 8 Oreo, were first trialed on the Samsung’s previous models, Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus in September 2017, while the update rolled out in March 2018. This year’s Samsung models can follow the same pattern.
Although evidence of Android 9 Pie testing has appeared on the new Samsung Galaxy S9 and Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus, the Korean giant company has not yet released any roadmaps. The official version of Android 8 Oreo finally arrived on Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus in March 2018, about six months after the test phase commenced.
Accordingly, we could get the final version of Android 9 Pie update for Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus in early-2019.
