Available the second beta of android 9 for the samsung galaxy s9

Two weeks after the launch of the first public beta of Android 9 for the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 +, the company has just announced the deployment of the second. This latest update comes with version number G960FXXU2ZRKL for the Galaxy S9. As reported from SamMobile, it has a weight of 700 MB and includes the November security patch. Do not forget that it is still a test version, so it is normal that if you decide to install it you may have some problems and errors. The final version is expected to be available next January.

As far as we know, the second beta for the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 + includes interesting news. One of the most outstanding is the improvement in the performance of the front camera. In this way, when taking selfies in low light conditions, the brightness and quality of the image will improve significantly. Likewise, there is also talk of an improvement in the general performance of the device and in security. To all this we must add the new user interface of the Samsung One UI company, which completely redesigns the general appearance of the device, basically focusing on making it easier to use when placing the controls in the lower half of the panel.

How to download the second beta of Android 9 Pie on the Galaxy S9

• The first step is to download and install the Samsung Members application. You can do it from the Google Play Store or Galaxy Apps.
• Then log in with your Samsung account (if you don't have one, you need to do so).
• Go to the section Notices (Notices) or Notifications (Notifications). Then select One UI Beta Program Registration and submit the application.
• Once you are accepted into the program, go to Settings> Software update> Manual download.
• Finally, you just have to wait for your terminal to update.

Main features of Android 9 Pie for the Galaxy S9

Once you update the second beta of Android 9 Pie on your Galaxy S9 or S9 + you will enjoy new features and changes. One of the most important is the arrival of a new dark theme in order to take better advantage of the OLED panel of both models. To do this, it will modify the background of the different components of the system interface, turning them black. Some items such as notification cards will turn dark gray.

On the other hand, with Pie, the quick settings screen will change its appearance completely. Now, it will occupy the entire computer panel once it is deployed. Likewise, it will be possible to have a new movement menu through which the gesture control can be activated. One of the most prominent is the “Lift to Wake” gesture, which will activate the phone screen when it is lifted from a surface, for example, on a bed or table. Many of the platform applications will also undergo some interesting changes when Android 9 makes a presence on the terminals. Gallery, Phone or Camera will adopt a new card format with rounded corners and the dark theme we mentioned earlier.

The new Samsung One UI customization layer will also bring new improvements along with Android 9. Samsung stressed at the time that the objective of One UI is to provide greater order and speed up the user experience. In addition, there will be no problem when handling a company device with a large screen, since this interface has been optimized for better use using one hand. Notifications and menus will be displayed at the bottom of the panel for easier handling.
