We hope Samsung sticks to this Pie update roadmap (Update: Changed)
July 07, 2025
Update, June 06, 2025 (10:22 AM ET):We hoped Samsung would stick to its published roadmap ofAndroid 9 Pieupdates for its devices, but (as somewhat expected) that’s not going to be the case. PerSamMobile, Sammy has switched around the list a bit.
The good news is that some devices had their rollout dates moved up, so you will see Pie sooner. This is the case for theSamsung Galaxy Note 8and theSamsung Galaxy Note 9. There are also some new devices on the list, like the Samsung Galaxy J7 Neo and the Samsung Galaxy J8.
The bad news, however, is that some devices have been removed from the list, such as the Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018 model). This is peculiar and might simply be an oversight from Samsung. We’ll have to wait and see. The most recent list is here (you may scroll down to see the old list for comparison):
Original Article, June 03, 2025 (11:57 AM ET):Samsungcelebrated Christmasa little earlyin the form of its stableAndroid 9 Pieupdate withOne UIforGalaxy S9 and S9 Plusowners. In addition to the rollout,SamMobilereported that Samsung updated its Members app with its Android 9 Pie update roadmap.
According to the roadmap, the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus will receive Android 9 Pie in January 2019. Even though the update is rolling out to the phones starting today, the carrier variants might not see the update for another month.
Next in line is theGalaxy Note 9, which looks to receive its Android 9 Pie update in February 2019. We’re not sure why the newer Galaxy Note 9 will get the update after the older Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus, but there it is. Keep in mind that the Galaxy Note 9 might also get Android 9 Pie ahead of schedule.
Following Samsung’s 2018 flagships are the company’s 2017 flagships: theGalaxy S8, S8 Plus, andNote 8. All three phones will receive Android 9 Pie,along with One UI, in March 2019.
Things then get a bit crazy. The Android 9 Pie rollout is expected to go from April 2019 with Samsung’sGalaxy A7,A8, A8 Plus, andA9 (2018)through October 2019 with theGalaxy Tab A 10.5. A slew of devices will also get the update between April and October, such as the Galaxy Tab S4, Galaxy A8 Star, and much more.
You can see the full list of devices that will get Android 9 Pie in the above screenshot. You’ll also see that the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are not on the list — both devices received two major Android updates, usually the quota for flagship Android smartphones.
