It has been five months since Samsung launched its new flagship, one of its flagship phones of all years, the new Samsung Galaxy S9. And just in the month of March, Android renewed its operating system to Android 9 Pie, launching the first Beta version for the developer community. Since then, Samsung has not declared, at any time, what would be the update schedule for its new terminals to Android 9 Pie. Until now. Apparently signs are already showing that the update may be sooner rather than later.
Android 9 Pie tests on Samsung's first flagship in 2018
As we can read on the news website of the Korean firm Sammobile, the company, apparently, has already begun to carry out the relevant tests to update the Samsung Galaxy S9 to Android 9 Pie. According to all forecasts, the first Samsung flagship of 2018 will also be the first Samsung terminal to update to the latest version of Android. Of course, the update to Android 9 Pie on the Samsung Galaxy S9 will go hand in hand with that of the Samsung Galaxy S9 +, its top model.
Samsung Galaxy S9
The Samsung Galaxy S9 + and its little brother have been listed in the GFXBench software analysis tool using Android 9 Pie. If we look back in time, the tests of the previous version of Android. The 8 Oreo, were tested for the first time in the previous models of the range, Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 + in the month of September, so the deadlines can be repeated again in terms of official versions of the operating system.
However, although signs of Android 9 Pie tests have appeared on the new Samsung Galaxy S9 and Samsung Galaxy S9 +, the Korean firm has not yet released any roadmap. The official version of Android 8 Oreo ended up arriving, to the first Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 + on the month of March 2018. Will we see Android 9 Pie, too, in the month of February 2019 ?
Most important news of Android 9 Pie
Improvements in autonomy
Do you feel that your mobile phone needs to have more autonomy? Well with Android 9 Pie this can come true. Android 9 Pie uses Artificial Intelligence to learn about the use we make of our phone, in order to save energy when needed. We don't always use the phone in the same way and Android 9 Pie can anticipate this use. Also, if in some parts of the day we tend to reduce or increase the brightness of the screen, the phone will do it automatically.
Gesture navigation
Soon we will be able to say goodbye to the navigation buttons, some buttons that. sometimes they take up precious screen space. Taking iOS as a reference, Android wants you to go backwards, to the home screen or multitasking through on-screen gestures, something that MIUI users can already enjoy on Xiaomi phones.
Consumption control panel
A tool with which we will know how we use our phone, to be aware of the time we spend on it. In this control panel we will have information about applications, procedures, screen hours, etc.
Faster and more efficient
We return to the section on Artificial Intelligence. Thanks to it, the telephone will be able to anticipate our actions. We all perform operations on our phone that we repeat over and over again and the function of Android 9 Pie is to anticipate these actions so that everything is faster and smoother.
