Samsung Galaxy Note 9 users in South Korea, Germany and India are now receiving the Andriod 9.0 Pie software update which includes the new Samsung One UI improvements along with the new features.
Over the past week, customers participating in the beta program for Android 9.0 in these regions have been getting OTA prompts, urging them to update to the latest version of Android Pie. Samsung warns that those who remain on the beta will cease getting updates and a lot of the forum and membership features won't be working unless they get from Oreo to Pie with the official firmware.
The same firmware version has even been rolling out to users in the UAE who were not part of the beta program, indicating that this is indeed the beginning of a global rollout.
The update size could vary based on your beta participation, with the full size weighing in at 1.6GB in some cases.
Back at its Developer Conference in the fall, Samsung said that it will be rolling out the Android 9.0 Pie update to its flagship Note 9 and Galaxy S9 in January and it is seemingly delivering on that promise.
