Recent statistical data from Google shows that a lot of Android users are still using Android Nougat or older and only a smallĀ fraction of Android users are actually on its current Android 8.0 Oreo. However, this has not stopped Google from developing its latest Android 9 Pie system. A few weeks ago, Google released the lastĀ beta of Android P and now its all previews can be set aside asĀ Google announces Android 9 Pie.
Speculations simply called this new system “Android P”, however, we have now learned that its actually “Android Pie” and Google has also decided to call this system “Android 9” as against “Android 9.0”. Recent rumors suggested that Google will release Android P on August 20 but obviously, that date was not on Google’s calendar, at least not for the official announcement of Android 9 Pie.
