And it's not Android Pie is a smaller update than Android Oreo. There are plenty of big and small changes in there, but Pie also brings an upgraded user interface called One UI. One UI is beautiful, especially when you turn on Night mode, and it makes one-handed easier on phones with large screens. Yet Samsung has completed beta testing quickly and pushed Android Pie out before the January release timeframe it had initially announced.
Of course, it's still going to be January for many users as the official update is available only in a handful of markets at the moment. The Galaxy Note 9 is also likely to see the update released next month (or even in February in countries), but at least we can expect Android Pie to be stable for everyone when it does make its way worldwide.
However, it's been merely two days since the stable Android Pie update started rolling out to the Galaxy S9 and S9+, so it's a bit too early to give a final verdict. But my initial impressions are positive, and it may be more than enough after what Samsung fans had to endure with Oreo earlier this year.
What about you? Is the stable Android Pie release working well on your Galaxy S9 or Galaxy S9+?
