Now thatAndroid 9 Pieis live, the first thing that comes to mind is when our Android device will receive the new Android update. The excitingnew features of Android Pieand the newgesture navigationis not something anyone would want to miss.
However, given the track record of smartphone manufacturers,latest Android versions have never deliveredright away. Don’t you remember how much time Android 8.1 Oreo took to arrive on your device? And yet, it is behind from Android Nougat in terms ofAndroid share percentage.
It’s entirely imaginable while your device would get Android P, Google may have already released Android Q beta version (I wonder whatAndroid Q will be called).
To overcome Android fragmentation, Google has come up with solutions likeAndroid OneandGoogle Beta program,there is only so much it can do. At the end of the day, it’s between the device and the device maker.
(I hope your device maker is generous enoughlike OnePlus, giving away Android 9 Pie update to all its devices.)
That’s out of the way, let’s move on with our Android 9 Pie device list. We will be continuously updating this article as soon as we see any new official announcements.
Android 9 Pie Update List
Of course! Google’s own line of devices was the first to receive the latest Android 9 Pie update. In fact, the whole Google Pixel family is enjoying the Pie while we’re talking about it —

It is unlikely that Android P will arrive on Nexus devices (Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X), considering thelost “support”due to Google’s security update policies.
Nokia has exponentially upped their game with their line of Android devices.
All of these devices work on Android One – A Google’s parallel project which provides true stock experience on non-pixel devices.

3. Essential Phone
Essential PH-1 was the first device, after Google Pixel, to get the Android P update. Before this, Essential was part of the Google beta program, meaning it already had a scope for an early stable release.
Not only Essential was quick enough to grab the Android 9 update. It is also maintaining the track record via keeping the device up-to-date with security patches from Google.

OnePlus, the Chinese smartphone-maker has already become one of the most popular Android brands. The high performing devices with reasonable prices have charmed all the Android users around the world.
Its recent flagship OnePlus 6T is already bundled with Android 9 Pie and soon each of its devices will have the taste of Pie.

One of the biggest players in budget smartphones, Xiaomi, utilizes Android-based MIUI for its devices. In 2017, Xiaomi brought out its first Android phone – Xiaomi Mi A1 as part of Google Android One initiative.
Now Xiaomi is focusing on the 2018’s Android One devices namely Mi A2, and Mi A2 Lite. While Android 9 Pie based MIUI is not on many Xaiomi devices, the company is at least making sure thatMIUI 10 rolls out on all its latest devices.

Sony has done spectacularly in cameras, TV’s, and game consoles, but when it comes to the smartphone industry, the company is trying its best to stay in the competition. For instance, Sony XZ2 in the Android Pie beta program, which was a much-needed revival for the company.
As of now, Sony is rolling out Android Pie updates on Xperia XZ Premium, XZ1 and XZ1 Compact. Other Xperia devices will soon follow up.

8. Samsung
If we’d have to rank device makers on the amount of time taken to release the Android version; Samsung would probably stand at the end. Regardless, smiling, given its one of the top manufacturers in the world.
Samsung has introduced a new skin – One UI which is based on Android P. Presently, Samsung Galaxy S9, S9 Plus and Note 9 are on the Android Pie Beta program.

Korean electronic is gaining new heights, but its mobile division is continuously dropping with low sales every year. Although many LG devices are eligible for Android Pie, their hopeless phone market is prompting a much-delayed update rollout.
Presently,LG G7 One (Android One)is the only company’s device which has received the Android Pie update. And the year is ending, LG has still not commented on which phones will get the Android 9 update.
Meanwhile, we like to think these would probably be one to get Android P in coming future – LG V35 ThinQ, LG Q Stylus, LG V30S Thin Q, LG G7 Thin Q, LG Q7, LG V30+
HTC is steadily losing out in the smartphone market. In fact, many HTC smartphones have already faded out against back-to-back releases from Chinese companies, which is why the company is now trying to hold off its loyal consumers with Android 9 update.
We’re pleased as pie to confirm updates to Android Pie for the HTC U12+, U11+, U11, and U11 life (Android One). Timeframes for roll-out will be announced in due course.

in 2018, Blackberry launched their Android phone – Blackberry Key Two. So we would likely see Android Pie on the device, but I cannot say the same for Blackberry Key One.

Vivoconfirmedthat it will release Android Pie on its devices in Q4 2018. However, many devices are yet to receive the update. its devices work on Funtouch OS based on Android.
