Google released Android 9 Pie yesterday, bringing joy to a few lucky people. Why only a few? Only owners of Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, Pixel XL, and Essential Phones will be able to install the new version of the system.oneSince the vast majority of manufacturers customize the look of Android to their own image, updates to the latest system will take months, even for flagships. Google promises that Android 9 Pie will appear on devices by the end of the fall, thanks to a large-scale betatesting, in which companies such as Sony, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, participated, One Plus. At first glance, Samsung is missing here, and some sources say that Android 9 Pie is coming to Samsung Galaxy S9 will show only in 2019.

What's new in Android 9 Pie? Owners of a handful of select smartphones can already enjoy a user interface based largely on gestures, which seems like a safe bet, since it works well on the iPhone X. There's also a Dashboard, which reliably shows the time you spend in individual apps. Yes, that's exactly what was introduced at WWDC as part of iOS 12. Of course, the new Android also includes support for applications for smartphones with a top screen cutout.
