When is your phone getting Android 9.0 Pie? We asked every major manufacturer

Dan Baker/Digital Trends

The next version of Android — Android 9.0 Pie — is finally here. We’ve rounded up everything that’s new in a handy guide, but when will your phone receive this update, if at all? More phones than ever could access the Android P beta, which leads us to believe that there will be a significant number of phones with the final version later this year — at least, more than usual.

Even Google said, “Many manufacturers are planning to launch or upgrade devices by the end of this year.” Well, we reached out to almost all of them, and here’s what they had to say. We’ll be updating this story as we continue to hear back.

Alcatel

Alcatel told Digital Trends it had nothing to share regarding Android 9.0 Pie at the moment. We don’t expect all of its phones to get Android 9.0 Pie — after all, some of them still ship with Android Nougat. Not only that, but Alcatel’s track record with Android updates is pretty bad, so it’s hard to say whether or not any of its phones would get Android 9.0 Pie.

Asus

Asus told Digital Trends it does not yet have a release schedule for Android 9.0 Pie, but it should have one ready within a few months. Android 9.0 Pie is slated to launch around the end of August.

HMD Global (Nokia)

HMD is also on the list of beta partners for Android 9.0 Pie, and it’s available specifically for the Nokia 7 Plus. Since all HMD phones run Android One, which is a stock version of Android, we expect most if not all of the company’s 2018 and 2017 lineup to receive the Android 9.0 Pie update by the end of the year.

The Android 9.0 Pie beta is available for the newly announced OnePlus 6. We expect the OnePlus 6 to be among the first phones to get the consumer release of Android 9.0 Pie. In July, OnePlus also announced its 3 and 3T handsets would also receive an Android 9.0 Pie update. OnePlus plans to update its handsets to Android 9.0 Pie in reverse-sequential order: The OnePlus 6 will be the first to be updated, while the OnePlus 3 will be last. Unfortunately we don’t have specific dates just yet — but OnePlus has released the following statement.

“OnePlus is driven by the idea of giving people the best possible hardware and software experience and that’s why we’ve been excited about Android P for some time now, having worked closely with the Android Beta Program. We’re looking forward to bringing Android P to OnePlus 6, as well as updating OnePlus 5/5T, and OnePlus 3/3T, ensuring OnePlus users all over the world can continue to enjoy new features.”

Samsung

Julian Chokkattu/Digital Trends

Samsung told Digital Trends it had nothing to share at this time. Of course, we expect most Samsung flagships from the past few years to get the update — including the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S9.

• Samsung Galaxy S8 Active
• Samsung Galaxy S9
• Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus
• Samsung Galaxy Note 8

ZTE

Julian Chokkattu/Digital Trends

ZTE has yet to respond to our email. It’s unclear what the future of the company will be considering ZTE’s U.S. issues, so we doubt you’ll see Android 9.0 Pie on recently launched ZTE phones any time soon.

Update August 10: HTC confirms phones it will update via a tweet.
