Will my phone get ANDROID P !!!
Hy guys this is nikhil, lets start our session i.e which smart phones get the PIE......
Android 9 Update:
Now that Android Pie is live, the first thing that comes to our mind is
when my Android device will receive the new update. The exciting new features of Android P and the whole gesture navigation thing is not something anyone
would want to miss.However, given the track record of smartphone manufacturers,
Android latest versions have never been delivered right away. Don’t you
remember how much time Android Oreo took to arrive on your device? Still,
Android Oreo has not been able to take over Android Nougat regarding market share.
Let’s move on with
our list of Android devices getting Android P. Remember, few of these are only guess so don’t take our word for it. However,
I will be continuously updating info as soon as i see any official
announcements.
Complet list of
smartphones receiving Android Pie:
1. Google
Of course! Google’s own line of devices will be the first
one to receive the latest Android version. In fact, as I speak, Google has
already started rolling out Android Pie OTA (Over-the-air) updates to its
devices —
a)
Google
Pixel and Pixel XL
b)
Google
Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL
It is doubtful that Android Pie will come on Nexus
devices (Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X), considering the lost “update support” from
Google itself.
On the other hand, all the Android
One-powered devices will receive Android Pie later this fall –
a)
Nokia
Android devices
b)
Xiaomi
Mi A1, Mi A2, and Mi A2 Lite
c)
HTC U11
d)
Moto X4
e)
General
Mobile (GM8, GM6, GM5, GM5+)
f)
Ymobile
(S1, S2, X1)
Thanks to the Google Beta Program, many non-pixel devices
got the opportunity to try out Android P beta version. So it is evident that
the same beta program devices would also receive the final
Android Pie version, perhaps way sooner than any device.
a)
Essential
PH-1
b)
Vivo
X21 and X21 UD
c)
Xiaomi
Mi Mix 2S
d)
Sony
Experia XZ2
e)
Nokia 7
Plus
f)
Oppo
R15 Pro
g)
OnePlus
6
2. Nokia
Nokia has exponentially upped their game with the new
line of Android devices. All of these devices work on Android One, Google’s
parallel project which provides true stock experience on non-pixel devices.Back in May, HMD global Marketing Manager, Niel
Broadley, confirmed that Android P would be coming to the entire
Nokia portfolio.And a few days back, Google also announced that all
Android One devices would get Android P later in 2018.

f)

g)

3. Essential Phone
Essential has already rolled out Android P OTA update for
Essential device Phone.
Now, this is some revolutionary stuff.
Seemingly, Essential is the first device manufacturer who has shipped Android
latest version after Google Pixel.
Before this, Essential was part of Google beta program
already having scope for an early stable release. But same day as Pixel! A
total bolt from the blue.
4. OnePlus
OnePlus, the Chinese smartphone-maker has already become
one of the most popular Android brands. The high performing devices with
reasonable price have charmed all the Android users around the world.
It will be a shame if OnePlus doesn’t roll out Android
Pie on its devices. But promising to roll out on all devices, well I did not
see that one coming. Only a few days back, OnePlus officially announced Android
Pie on all of the devices skipping the delayed Android Oreo (8.1) update
altogether.
a)
One
Plus 6
b)
One
Plus 5T and One Plus 5
c)
One
Plus 3T and 3
According to the company, OnePlus Android Pie updates
will roll out in this exact order. As of now, there is no information on the
precise date. But since, OnePlus 6 was part of the Beta program, so its safe to
assume that One Plus devices will receive new update “later this fall.”
5. Xiaomi
One of the biggest players in budget smartphones, Xiaomi,
utilizes Android Oreo-based MIUI for its devices. In 2017, Xiaomi brought first
Android phone Xiaomi Mi A1 as part of Google Android One initiative.
And only recently, we saw Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite, both,
carrying Android Oreo (as part of the Android One program). Xiaomi says all its Android
devices will soon receive Android Pie. On the other hand, there is no official
date on a new MIUI update.
Let’s look at the list of Xiaomi devices eligible for
Android P (MIUI) update –
a)
Xiaomi
Mi mix, Mi Mix 2 and Mi Mix 2S
b)

d)

6. Huawei
Huawei is another Chinese smartphone maker whose massive
sales have already unseated Apple to become the world’s second largest
smartphone manufacturer. Honor, a Huawei sub-brand, works on Android-based EMUI
operating system.
The company has been active in updating their devices to
the latest Android versions, and likely they will follow the same speed with
Andoird Pie. However, there’s no information regarding a release timeline.

7. Sony
Sony has done spectacularly in cameras, TV, consoles but
the when it comes to the smartphone industry, the company is trying its best to
stay in the competition. For instance, Sony XZ2 in the beta program which was a
much-needed revival for the company.
Since Sony XZ2 users already had a glimpse of Android P.
Its very likely that the entire Sony XZ series will receive the new Android
update but we don’t have any update regarding the update timeline.
List of Sony device eligible for Android P –
a)
Sony
XZ2 premium, XZ2, and XZ2 compact
b)
Sony
XZ1 and Z1 compact
c)
Sony
XA2 Plus
d)
Sony XZ
Premium
8. Samsung
If we’d have to rank device makers on the amount of time
taken to release Android version; Samsung would probably stand at the end.
Regardless, smiling being the top manufacturers of the world
As expected, there is no comment on Android Pie. However,
based on bits and pieces of information over the Internet, we can
make a preliminary estimate on which Samsung devices would get to see the
Google light.
List of Samsung devices eligible for Android P –
a)
Samsung
Galaxy S9 and S9+
b)
Samsung
Galaxy S8 and S8+
c)
Samsung

g)

Galaxy J6 (2018)
h)
Samsung
Galaxy Tab S3
9. LG
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 may prompt a
much-delayed update rollout.
List of LG devices eligible for Android Pie –
a)
LG V35
ThinQ
b)
LG Q
Stylus
c)
LG V30S

Other device manufacturers that might focus on delivering
Android Pie next year —
HTC
We are not sure about anything these days when it comes
to HTC. Their low market sales do not appear to end any soon. Few HTC devices
eligible for Android P: HTC U12+, U11+, U 11, Desire 12+ and Desire 12. Device
before these might not receive Android Pie.
Blackberry
Blackberry recently launched their Android phone –
Blackberry Key 2. So you would see Android P on the device, but I cannot say
the same for Blackberry Key 1.
Vivo
Vivo has confirmed that it will release Android
Pie its devices in Q 4 2018. Vivo X21 and X21 UD was part of Google beta
program, so it is apparent that they will receive it first. Other Vivo devices
which are eligible for Android Pie: Vivo Nex A, Nex S and Vivo V9.
Oppo
As of now, speculation is Oppo Find X, Oppo R15, and Oppo
R15 Pro will receive the Android P. Since Oppo R15 was part of the beta
program, it is likely to get the update first.
Motorola
Motorola says “We will be working with our
technology and carrier partners to bring it (Android Pie) to you.”. Now that
Android Pie is available on AOSP (Android Open Source Project), we might see
Android Pie update, perhaps on all Moto devices that came out in 2017 and 2018.
But the timeline of all the devices remains uncertain.
