Samsung releases another Galaxy Note9 Android Pie beta update

Samsung Galaxy Note9 gets its fourth Android Pie beta update. It’s rolling out to users in India, Germany, and South Korea. And it fixes some touch-related issues, including the home button hard press feature not working when the navigation gestures are enabled as well as the keyboard app not responding on the bottom right of the display. Since touch issues are considered critical bugs, this is considered the first hotfix beta for the Galaxy Note9. The Galaxy S9 and S9+ needed a couple of hotfix updates, but hopefully this won’t be the same case for the Note9.

To download the update, go into the Settings > Software update menu on your phone. From there, tap the Download and install option.
