When is your phone getting Android 9.0 Pie? We asked every major manufacturer

Android 9.0 Pie is now rolling out to the Nokia 7 Plus

The next version of Android — Android 9.0 Pie — is finally here. We’ve rounded up everything that’s new in a handy guide, but when will your phone receive this update, if at all? More phones than ever could access the Android P beta, which leads us to believe that there will be a significant number of phones with the final version later this year — at least, more than usual.

Even Google said, “Many manufacturers are planning to launch or upgrade devices by the end of this year.” Well, we reached out to almost all of them, and here’s what they had to say. We’ll be updating this story as we continue to hear back.

ALCATEL

Alcatel told Digital Trends it had nothing to share regarding Android 9.0 Pie at the moment. We don’t expect all of its phones to get Android 9.0 Pie — after all, some of them still ship with Android Nougat. Not only that, but Alcatel’s track record with Android updates is pretty bad, so it’s hard to say whether or not anyof its phones would get Android 9.0 Pie.
ASUS

Asus told Digital Trends it does not yet have a release schedule for Android 9.0 Pie, but it should have one ready within a few months. Android 9.0 Pie is slated to launch around the end of August.

The Essential Phone was one of the phones that could access the current Android 9.0 Pie open beta, and it’s also one of the first to get the consumer version of Android 9.0 Pie. The update for the Essential Phone is now available.

HMD is also on the list of beta partners for Android 9.0 Pie and it’s available specifically for the Nokia 7 Plus — which is now getting the update.
Since all HMD phones run Android One, which is a stock version of Android, we expect most, if not all, of the company’s 2018 and 2017 lineup to receive the Android 9.0 Pie update by the end of the year.

HMD Global phones that have received Android 9.0 Pie:

  • Nokia 7 Plus

After the Honor 10 and View 10 were confirmed to be receiving some delicious Pie, it was also confirmed that the newly released Honor Play would also be receiving the eventual update for Android 9.0 Pie. A closed beta for the latest EMUI 9 running on Android 9.0 Pie has also been confirmed, but user numbers are exceptionally small at the moment.
While these are the only phones confirmed so far, the company would be remiss not to include some of its other phones in that update, so keep your peepers peeled for more update news.
Honor phones confirmed to be receiving Android 9.0 Pie:

Shortly after Android P was released in August, HTC notified users of phones that will receive the Android P update via a tweet. Don’t expect that to be the end though; it’s highly likely that the newly released HTC U12 Life will also be receiving a slice of Pie.

Huawei was a major holdout in announcing Android 9.0 Pie updates, but the company has finally confirmed that it is working on delivering Android 9.0 Pie to some of its biggest phones. The company previously announced that the P20and Mate 10 Pro would be updated, and followed up with an updated list that also included the Mate 10, Mate 10 Porsche Design, and P20 Pro.
Two thousand lucky users of those phones will also be getting access to the closed beta of Huawei’s EMUI 9, with the caveat that it’s still a fairly unstable build.

Following an open beta for Android 9.0 Pie on the OnePlus, OnePlus confirmedthat it was rolling out the consumer version of the operating system is now rolling out. In July, OnePlus also announced the OnePlus 3 and 3T would also receive an update to Android 9.0 Pie. But don’t think it’ll be done quickly — OnePlus plans to update its handsets to Android 9.0 Pie in reverse-sequential order: The OnePlus 6 will be the first to be updated, while the OnePlus 3 will be last. Unfortunately, we don’t have specific dates for other phones just yet — but OnePlus has released the following statement:

We’re looking forward to bringing Android P to OnePlus 6, as well as updating OnePlus 5/5T, and OnePlus 3/3T, ensuring OnePlus users all over the world can continue to enjoy new features.”

SAMSUNG

Julian Chokkattu
While Samsung is probably still a fair way away from its Android 9.0 Pie update, there’s evidence that it’s working on it. As spotted by Dutch website GalaxyClub, a listing for a Galaxy S9 Plus on GFXBench shows “Android 9” as the phone’s operating system. There’s easy money on this being a Samsung test device for Android 9.0 Pie, and hopefully means that Samsung is further along than we expect for the Korean manufacturer’s usually sluggish update schedule.
We expect most Samsung flagships from the past few years to get the update — including the Galaxy S8 — and we expect that more than a few of Samsung’s midrange devices will also get the upgrade. Samsung’s problem lies in the fact that its user interface, the Samsung Experience, is heavily customized. As such it takes a lot more work on Samsung’s part to create the update.

Samsung phones expected to receive Android 9.0 Pie:

  • Samsung Galaxy Note 9
  • Samsung Galaxy S9
  • Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus
  • Samsung Galaxy Note 8
  • Samsung Galaxy S8
  • Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus
  • Samsung Galaxy S8 Active

SONY

The Android 9.0 Pie beta is available to the Sony Xperia XZ2, and as such we expect the phone to get the final version soon this fall. Sony has also confirmed to Digital Trends that the XZ2 series, XZ1 series, and Xperia XZ will get the update in the fall, with updates starting to roll out in November. Not only that, but the company also detailed that the Xperia XA2, XA2 Ultra, and XA2 Premium will get the update at some point in early 2019.
Expect all the high-end models to get Android 9.0 Pie, but don’t hold out if you have a mid-range or budget Sony phone.

Sony phones confirmed to be receiving Android 9.0 Pie:

  • Sony Xperia XZ2
  • Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium
  • Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact
  • Sony Xperia XZ1
  • Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact

Vivo phones confirmed to be receiving Android 9.0 Pie:

  • Vivo X21

The Android 9.0 Pie beta is available to the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S, and as such we expect it to be one of the first phones to get the consumer version of the software once it’s released.

Xiaomi phones confirmed to be receiving Android 9.0 Pie:

  • Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S

Xiaomi phones expected to receive Android 9.0 Pie:

  • Xiaomi Mi A1

ZTE has yet to respond to our email. It’s unclear what the future of the company will be considering ZTE’s U.S. issues, so we doubt you’ll see Android 9.0 Pie on recently launched ZTE phones any time soon.

Depression: Its Causes, effect and Treatment.

Sadness, feeling down, having a loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities - these are symptoms familiar to all of us. But, if they persist and affect our life substantially, it may be depression. What is Depression? Depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Depression causes feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease a person’s ability to function at work and at home. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),  7.6 percent  of people over the age of 12 have depression in any 2-week period.

Omega-3 Fatty Acid Medication Lowers Risk for Heart Attack, Stroke.

By -

For years, cardiologists have been encouraging people to eat more fish with omega-3 fatty acids as a way to boost cardiovascular health. Now, an  article published in August 2019 in the AHA journal  Circulation   further validates the benefits of these acids, finding that prescription fish oil medication lowers triglyceride levels by 20 to 30 percent in patients who already require triglyceride-reducing drugs. Triglycerides  are the most common type of fat found in the blood,  according to the American Heart Association (AHA) . When levels are too high (above 200 milligrams per deciliter, or mg/dL), fatty deposits are more likely to build up in the arteries, which raises the risk of heart problems.  The Cleveland Clinic notes  that very high levels (above 500 mg/dL) of triglycerides can lead to  pancreatitis , an inflammation of the  pancreas . “About 25 to 30 percent of the adult population have high triglycerides [HTG]...
