New features include adaptive battery
Google on Monday launched the latest version of it’s Android operating system — Android Pie, that promises to make smartphones ‘smarter’.
An over-the-air update to Android 9 will begin rolling out to Google’s Pixel phones. The devices that participated in the Beta programme will receive the update soon, Sameer Samat, vice-president of Product Management, Android & Google Play said in a blog.
“ We are also working with a number of other partners to launch or upgrade devices to Android 9 this year,” he added.
“We’ve built Android 9 to learn from you — and work better for you — the more you use it. From predicting your next task so you can jump right into the action you want to take, to prioritising battery power for the apps you use most, to helping you disconnect from your phone at the end of the day, Android 9 adapts to your life and the ways you like to use your phone,” Google said.
Smart settings
The Android 9 comes with features like adaptive battery, which learns the apps users’ use most and prioritises battery use for them, and adaptive brightness, which learns how users like to set the brightness in different settings.
“Making your phone smarter and more adaptive is important, but we also want Android to be easier to use and more approachable. In Android 9, we’ve introduced a new system navigation featuring a single home button.” Mr. Samat said.
This is especially helpful as phones grow taller and it is more difficult to get things done on the phone with one hand, Google added.
My phone isn't on the list
However, Android Pie will come very soon (Q3 2018) to the Nokia 7 Plus, OnePlus 6, Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S, Essential PH-1, Sony Xperia XZ2, Oppo R15 Pro and Vivo X21, devices that were eligible for its beta programme, as well as all compatible Android One phones. This will happen "by the end of this fall", according to Google.
Phones that were not part of the Android Pie beta programme and are not running Android One will not be updated to Android 9.0 just yet, though they will get the update before any other phone in Q3 2018.
Indeed, some older devices may never be updated. But if you have a recent flagship from 2018 or 2019 it almost certainly will get Android Pie within the next six months.
See our advice below on which phones will and will not be upgraded to Android Pie, and when it's likely that you'll get the update.
