The update also includes the January 2019 Android security patch and comes with all the list of changes that are a part of Samsung's proprietary One UI. The Android Pie update comes weeks after Samsung started pushing One UI powered by the latest Android version to the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ in Germany. The company also recently brought the latest experience to the Germany variant of the Galaxy Note 9. Alongside the latest rollout in India, Samsung has started bringing the Android Pie update for the Galaxy S9 models and the Galaxy Note 9 in South Korea.

Similar to the past Android updates, the Android Pie update for the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, Galaxy S9, and Galaxy S9+ is rolling out as an over-the-air package. You can manually check its availability by going to Settings > Software update. Users on the One UI beta programme can tap the Download and install option to get the latest experience.
