La update to Android 9 Pie it finally appeared yesterday, although, as usual, only the devices of the Google house could access its discharge. Today things have changed because we already have a "non-Google" team that has also started to receive the update. Guess which one?

Yesterday Google announced that its Pixel terminals they could already access the package (1.173 MB in size) of Android 9 Pie. Some new functions They include better (smarter) battery management, easier phone navigation with a new interface, and context-based action and application recommendations.

All these features (and many others not mentioned) were until yesterday only exclusive to Google devices, the Pixels, however, this has just changed after the arrival from the packet to a new terminal «not googlian«. It is the Essential Phone (PH1) phone -cover image-, the famous phone that has never finished curdling in the market as expected.

According to Essential, this quick update to Pie has been possible thanks to Project Treble from Google, a program that began with the Oreo version and that is designed to facilitate faster updates by compartmentalizing the system code (software) so that it can be renewed by blocks (manufacturers on the one hand, operators on the other), explains the signature.

When will Android Pie arrive on your computer?

As for the rest of the devices, all are promises in the air, as always, and therefore without specific dates. It has been confirmed that it will arrive something earlier than usual to the terminals of Sony, Huawei, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Nokia, Oppo and Vivo, among others -Essential was also mentioned yesterday and we cannot deny that it has not been in a hurry, go.

As we told you, Google has confirmed that all these mentioned brands, which have participated in the house's beta program, will receive the update before autumn ends, like its Android One models.
