Galaxy S9 was released at the start of the year but has remained one of the best smartphones around.
The device comes in a standard and “+” variant that are both appealing for different reasons.
The regular Galaxy S9 comes with a 5.8-inch display with an incredibly high density of 570-pixels-per-inch.
Samsung’s handset is incredibly appealing for its more manageable size.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy S9+ has a 6.2-inch display and comes with an extra camera and a larger battery than its smaller brother.
Although both devices come with the same 12-megapixel main sensor with a variable aperture, the S9+ ups the ante by introducing a secondary 12-megapixel telephoto system.
It is worth noting the Galaxy S9+ comes with 6GB of RAM while the standard S9 comes with 4GB.
However, the flagship duo are powered by the same Exynos 9810 processor or Snapdragon 845 chipset depending on the region it is sold in.
This means both offer incredibly rapid performance across Google’s Android operating system.
When the Galaxy S9 and S9+ launched, they came pre-installed with Android 8 Oreo.
But back in August Google showed off its latest and greatest version of the software, Android 9 Pie.
When it launched the operating system was only available on Pixel handsets in addition to the Essential Phone.
Since then the software has been made available on a number of devices from the likes of Sony, OnePlus, Huawei and more.
But until now Samsung fans had been unable to experience the newest version of Android unless they were part of the One UI beta programme that was announced by Samsung during its annual developer conference.
One UI is the skin from the South Korean tech giant that will run on top of Android 9 Pie.
The beta for the software kicked-off for a limited number of users last month that delivered a swathe of new upgrades.
During the unveiling for One UI Samsung was eager to explain how the skin has been inspired to make navigation on larger devices easier than ever before.
Software such as the messages application were shown featuring the majority of their content in the middle and bottom of the display, meaning users would not need to stretch to the top to make the most of the software.
Samsung said: “One UI helps you focus on what really matters to you.
“With hardware and software working together in harmony, see only what you need, using and viewing your phone with an experience that feels second nature.
“Because it’s the small details that make a big difference.”
However, after much waiting and anticipation it appears Samsung is finally rolling out a stable version of Android 9 Pie and One UI for Galaxy S9 owners ahead of schedule.
Android Authority has reported that one of its Galaxy S9 units has received a prompt allowing it to upgrade.
Moreover, the outlet clarified the phone in question was not part of the One UI beta programme.
The update to One UI was said to be 1744.24MB
SamMobile has also emphasised both Galaxy S9 and S9+ units have been receiving the update.
It is worth noting both publications insisted devices from Germany had been granted the One UI software.
That means it is unclear if Galaxy S9 units across the globe are all receiving it at once.
Samsung had initially stated One UI would not release until January, however the firm appears to have commenced a rollout earlier.
