Samsung’s Galaxy S9/S9+ and Note 9 Pie update spreads through South Korea and India


Despite the yesterday report about Galaxy Note 9 Pie update being on hold until February 1, seems that the promised new flavor of Android is reaching South Korean and India at the moment. Following Note 9, the S9 and S9+ respective updates are also being deployed in these regions. According to an estimative, the update is already available in 16 countries around the globe.

However, there’s a small catch for those residing in India, since only those that were part of the beta program are eligible for getting the new version of Android, at least for now. The same happened in Germany, so we expect to see a wider rollout pretty soon after this initial phase. When it comes to its homeland, the South-Korean firm is delivering the Pie update no matter what version of Android they’re running on their respective smartphones.
