OnePlus 3/3T finally receive stable Android Pie update

OnePlus has steadily been updating its product line with the latest version of Android. This time the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T are getting the stable version of Android Pie through OxygenOS 9.0.2. Its beta version was released to community members last month. Some of the features OnePlus 3/3T users can expect include Do Not Disturb with a specific time range, Gaming Mode 3.0, Phone app’s support for Google Duo, and Camera app’s support for Google Lens. Aside from getting the latest version of Android that’s available, the April 2019 security patches are also making their way to these two phones.

HMD releases Android Pie release schedule for Nokia phones

HMD Global has consistently been releasing the latest Android updates for its phones. The company just announced on Twitter which phones will be getting the update. And this batch are promised to receive Android Pie by early Q2 2019, at the latest. Five of the company’s Nokia phones already have the update (Nokia 7 Plus, 6.1, 6.1 Plus, 7.1, and 5.1 Plus), while two of them (Nokia 8 Sirocco and 8) are listed as ongoing. The Nokia 5 and 3.1 Plus are expected to get the update this month. The Nokia 6, 5.1, 3.1, and 2.1 are lined up for a Q1 2019 release, while the Nokia 3 and 1 are expected to get the update in early Q2 of this year. Unfortunately, the Nokia 2 doesn’t seem like it’s getting the update—or at least not in the immediate future. And it must be noted that while roadmaps are a good guide, these aren’t definitive timelines. But things might fare better with HMD as the company has shown it’s kept to its promise.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 units in Germany get second stable Android Pie update

Review: Samsung Galaxy Note 9

Samsung has slowly been rolling out Android Pie update to different countries for the Galaxy Note 9. Germany gets a second stable update for the phone with software version N960FXXU2CSA2. It’s a 130MB update but it’s unclear what it brings. SamMobile is hoping it brings some unavailable features from the first Android Pie update, such as schedule option for Night mode and being able to record videos in the camera’s Pro mode. What we’re hoping is the update to make its way here.
