It is not Pistachio after all! Google has officially unveiled its newest operating system, Android 9, to the world. Event has shared much information about the OS, â€most importantly†its name. It turns out that Android 9 P will be called Pie, as in apple pie or cherry pie. Mmm, cherry pie… Anyway, Android Pie is already available for the very first smartphones: Google Pixel, Pixel XL, Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL and, last but not least, Essential Phone. The new OS will be downloaded automatically, with no need for manual control over the process (sounds spooky when I put it like that). Android 9 P will be available for another batch of models, newest Samsungs probably among them, sometime in Autumn.
Is 9 P worth the wait? Possibly. Google promises that Android 9 will deliver a large number of features, such as better power management, well-developed notifications system, improved gestures and increased cybersecurity measures.
