Stable Android Pie with One UI is now rolling out to Samsung Galaxy S9/S9 Plus!

by Abbas Adil

he stable update to Android Pie is currently available in Germany, and we were able to get it on one of our unlocked units we acquired from the country. The phone was not enrolled in Samsung’s Pie beta, meaning that the update is stable and rolling out to all users.

After the update, the software version will change to G965FXXU2CRLI for the Galaxy S9 Plus. According to SamMobile, the software version for the Galaxy S9 will be G960FXXU2CRLI; the website has also confirmed that the update is available on Samsung’s download servers.

The update package is a hefty 1744.24MB, as you would expect from a major software release. It includes One UI, a rebranding and major revamp of Samsung’s Android skin, as well as numerous other new features. Here’s the full changelog:

If you reside in Germany, it’s worth manually checking for an update on your Galaxy S9 or Galaxy S9 Plus by going to Settings > Software updates.

We’re installing the Android Pie update for the Galaxy S9 Plus right now, and we’ll get back to you if we spot any differences between the stable and beta versions. At a cursory analysis, the changelogs of the beta and stable updates appear to be identical, but that doesn’t exclude any changes. Check out our great hands-on look at the beta version of One UI right here, it will give you a very good idea of what to expect from the stable update.

As always, Samsung will roll out Android Pie for its flagship phones in a very gradual manner, and unlocked units will get first dibs. So far, we haven’t heard of the update hitting other markets besides Germany, but it’s possible other countries will follow very soon.

Anyone here got the update?
