Not peppermint, not pancake, not pumpkin pie, not parfait, it’s Pie time for Android lovers
“Not peppermint, not a pancake, not even the popsicle, it’s Pie time for Android lovers”
It’s that time of the year again when Google updates the software on its Pixel devices and also delivers the new software built to other manufacturers for deployment on their own offerings. Android 9 Pie is the flavour this season, with AI features being its main draw. The new OS also comes with interesting traits like an adaptive battery, gesture-based navigation, an official dark mode along with a few tricks that will help you reduce your interaction with the phone with ‘Digital Wellbeing’.
All the Pixel handsets have already started receiving Android Pie via OTAs. Apart from these, select Android One smartphones will also be getting the update soon.
And this year, Google has partnered with other manufacturers to distribute the update to their devices faster. This combined with the goodness of Project Treble means that other companies have a good chance to counter the backlash they almost always face when it comes to the quick delivery of Android software updates.
So if you are waiting for Android 9.0 Pie on your smartphone, here’s a comprehensive list of devices that have been confirmed to get the update.
Sony Xperia XZ2
OPPO R15
Essential PH-1
Big names like Samsung and LG will definitely be joining the list soon, so we’ll keep updating this page as and when confirmations from the companies keep arriving.
