Always-Updated List of Phones That Will Get Android Pie

| Updated Aug. 22, 2019 with new phones.

When will my phone get Android Pie? For the first time since Android's inception, this question shouldn't have an answer that lets you down. That's because Android Oreo introduced Project Treble, a new low-level arrangement that makes updating a lot easier. So with Pie, it's not if your phone will get it, but when.

Whether or not your phone supports Project Treble is pretty simple. If your phone came with Android Oreo, it must include Project Treble support. However, if you are not sure what the original OS version was on your phone, check out our tutorial on how to manually check for support.

Android 9.0 Pie is a major update. The latest version does have some pretty big visual changes, including gesture controls and an upgraded power menu, but what should really pique your interest is the under-the-hood changes, particularly when it comes to security. We detailed many of biggest security enhancements that are coming with Pie, but in short, Android 9.0 will make your phone much safer.

About This List

Each phone below will be labeled with one of the following: Confirmed (with the time it took for the update to be released), Beta, Rumored, Will Not Receive Pie, or No Information.

If the phone is rumored to have a Pie update coming, we will label it as Rumored. If confirmed, we will link out to either a tweet or official page to confirm the update is being pushed out. And if the OEM is running a beta program, we will link out to beta pages.

If the OEM confirmed the device will not get the latest Android version, it will be marked with Will Not Receive. And if there is no rumored or official information, it will be marked as No information.

We are also focusing on phones officially released in the US, so if you don't see your phone listed, it probably isn't officially available here. Because of our focus on US phones, the date shown indicates when it reached the US variant of the device. Finally, we are only looking at phones released within the two years prior to Pie's release date, August 6, 2018. It is doubtful OEMs will update a phone older than that, as they are more hoping to push that customer to a new device.

Phones listed in bold currently have the stable version of Android Pie. Hopefully, this time around, every phone on this list will be bold before Android Q.

ASUS

In the past, ASUS has been pretty slow at updating their devices. Despite the changes Google made with Project Treble, it doesn't seem Android 9.0 Pie will be any different than past updates. ASUS has confirmed most of their US lineup will finally receive the update in 2019, but as it stands, the ZenFone 5Z remains the only one.

• ASUS ZenFone Max (M1): Confirmed
• ASUS ZenFone Max Plus (M1): Confirmed
• ASUS ZenFone 4: Beta
• ASUS ZenFone 4 Pro: No information
• ASUS ZenFone 4 Max:Confirmed (May 16, 2019 - 9 months, 10 days)
• ASUS ZenFone Live (L1): Confirmed
• ASUS ZenFone V: No information
• ASUS ZenFone 5Q:Confirmed (July 5, 2019 - 10 months, 29 days)
• ASUS ZenFone 5Z:Confirmed (Jan. 30, 2019 - 5 months, 24 days)
• ASUS ROG Gaming Phone: Confirmed

Essential

While we are currently waiting on news for Essential's second phone, Essential owners can be proud to know they received Android 9.0 Pie mere minutes after Pixel devices received it. But this should come as no surprise — the device, which is running a nearly unmodified version of Android, has been the first non-Pixel or Nexus device to receive security patches and beta updates over the past year.

• Essential Phone PH-1: Confirmed (Aug. 6th, 2018 - 0 days)

Google

One of the main perks of purchasing a Pixel or Nexus is the timely Android OS updates. However, for the first time in Nexus history, the Nexus phones will not receive the latest OS update as Google moves toward the new Pixel lineup. At the time of this writing, all Pixel devices have Android 9 Pie.

• Don't Miss: Nexus Phones Are Finally Dead

• Pixel: Confirmed (Aug. 6th, 2018 - 0 days)
• Pixel XL: Confirmed (Aug. 6th, 2018 - 0 days)
• Pixel 2: Confirmed (Aug. 6th, 2018 - 0 days)
• Pixel 2 XL: Confirmed (Aug. 6th, 2018 - 0 days)
• Pixel 3: Android Pie out of the box
• Pixel 3 XL: Android Pie out of the box
• Pixel 3a: Android Pie out of the box
• Pixel 3a XL: Android pie out of the box

HTC

HTC has been pretty slow when it comes to updating its lineup to Android 9 Pie. While they initially promised a June release for some of their phones (including the U12+), it was pushed back until August. We're even more disappointed to see that only three phones received the update. For those HTC fans who jumped to get the U Ultra or HTC 10, you are stuck on 8.0 Oreo. While the latter is forgivable, the former is not. The U Ultra was released only four months before the U11, yet is stuck on the older version of Android.

• HTC 10: No information
• HTC U Ultra: No information
• HTC U11:Confirmed (Aug. 7, 2019 - 12 months, 1 day)
• HTC U11 Life:Confirmed (Nov. 29, 2018 - 3 months, 23 days)
• HTC U12+:Confirmed (Aug. 21, 2019 - 12 months, 15 days)

Huawei/Honor

Rumor has it that Huawei is already working on the next version of EMUI, 9.0, which runs on top of Android Pie. Based on their track record, most of their midrange and flagship devices should receive the update. Also, many of the devices released by Huawei since the end of last year have released with Project Treble support, making upgrades even more seamless.

• Honor 6X: No information
• Honor 7X: No information
• Honor View 10:Confirmed (Jan. 17th, 2018 - 5 months, 11 days)
• Huawei Mate 9: Confirmed
• Huawei Mate 10 Pro:Confirmed (March 1, 2019 - 6 months, 23 days)
• Huawei Mate 10 Porsche Design: Confirmed
• Huawei Mate SE: No information

LG

LG is notoriously bad when it comes to updating their devices. Whether it's midrange, entry-level, or even flagship, LG customers know they shouldn't expect their device to get the latest OS version for at least a year. Despite the creation of the Global Software Upgrade Center, LG has still only updated a few phones so far.

• LG G6: Rumored
• LG G7 ThinQ:Confirmed (June 5, 2019 - 9 months, 30 days)
• LG V20: No information
• LG V30: No information
• LG V30S ThinQ: No information
• LG V35 ThinQ:Confirmed (June 18, 2019 - 10 months, 14 days)
• LG V40 ThinQ:Confirmed (May 24, 2019 - 9 months, 18 days) (Verizon & AT&T, Unlocked)
• LG Q6: No information
• LG Q Stylus: No information
• LG Stylo 4: No information
• LG Q7+: No information
• LG X Power: No information

Motorola

Historically, Motorola is one of the best Android OEMs when it comes to quick updates. Last year was no exception, with most of their Z lineup quickly getting Oreo. So far this time, Motorola has only confirmed a handful of their phones will get Android Pie, and all but five haven't received it yet.

• Moto E4: No information
• Moto E4 Plus: No information
• Moto E5 Play: No information
• Moto E5 Plus: No information
• Moto G4 Plus: No information
• Moto G5 Plus: No information
• Moto G5S Plus: No information
• Moto G6 Play:Confirmed (July 18, 2019 - 11 months, 12 days)
• Moto G6 Plus:Confirmed (Dec. 31, 2018 - 4 months, 25 days)
• Motorola One:Confirmed (Dec. 12, 2018 - 4 months, 6 days)
• Moto X4:Confirmed (Nov. 28, 2018 - 3 months, 22 days)

• Moto Z3 Play:Confirmed (Jun. 7, 2019 - 12 months, 28 days)
• Moto Z3:Confirmed (April 3, 2019 - 7 months, 28 days)

Nokia

The iconic brand has only been revived for a little over a year, but it has already proven itself far better at updates than most OEMs. Not only do all Nokia devices get regular monthly security patches, but system updates as well. Additionally, since all the Nokia devices released in 2018 have been a part of the Android One program, updates are handled by Google leading to even faster updates than those pushed out by HMD. And thanks to this change, all devices are currently running Android 9 Pie.

• Nokia 1:Confirmed (Jun. 25, 2019 - 10 months, 19 days)
• Nokia 3.1:Confirmed (Mar. 14, 2019 - 7 months, 8 days)
• Nokia 4.2: Android Pie out of the box
• Nokia 6:Confirmed (Feb. 20, 2019 - 6 months, 14 days)
• Nokia 6.1:Confirmed (Oct. 30th, 2018 - 2 months, 24 days)
• Nokia 7.1:Confirmed (Nov. 27th, 2018 - 3 months, 21 days)
• Nokia 9 PureView: Android Pie out of the box

OnePlus

Over the past few years, OnePlus has taken some criticism for their Android OS update practices. To correct the problem, OnePlus laid out a plan on how they will handle maintenance and updates from now on. With this new dedication, OnePlus became only the second manufacturer behind Google to update all eligible phones to Android Pie (technically Essential could also be on that list, though they only have one phone).

• OnePlus 3:Confirmed (May 22, 2019 - 9 months, 16 days)
• OnePlus 3T:Confirmed (May 22, 2019 - 9 months, 16 days)
• OnePlus 5:Confirmed (Dec. 25th, 2018 - 4 months, 19 days)
• OnePlus 5T:Confirmed (Dec. 25th, 2018 - 4 months, 19 days)
• OnePlus 6:Confirmed (Sept. 21st, 2018 - 1 month, 15 days)
• OnePlus 6T: Android Pie out of the box
• OnePlus 7 Pro: Android Pie out of the box

Razer

Despite recent layoffs in their mobile division, Razer still has two very impressive gaming phones which are due for an update. With nearly stock Android (except for Nova Launcher Prime and a few Razer gaming enhancements), Razer has always been quick to update their phones. While we don't know if the original Razer Phone will get Android Pie, the Razer Phone 2 has received the update.

• Razer Phone: Confirmed (Q3 2019)
• Razer Phone 2:Confirmed (Feb. 27, 2019 - 6 months, 22 days)

Samsung

As the number one smartphone OEM in the world, Samsung dramatically affects the distribution chart of Android. Before Samsung releases the update for the latest version, typically that version of Android remains below 10%. Unfortunately, Samsung has only been decent at updates, releasing OS updates about six months after the initial release. So far, Samsung has improved this by releasing its first update for Android Pie in four months.

• Galaxy A8 Star: Confirmed (May 2019)
• Galaxy J3 (2017): Confirmed (September 2019)
• Galaxy J7 (2017): Confirmed (July 2019)
• Galaxy Note 7 FE: No information
• Galaxy Note 8:Confirmed (March 29, 2019 - 7 months, 23 days)
• Galaxy Note 9:Confirmed (Jan. 31st, 2018 - 5 months, 25 days)
• Galaxy S7: No information
• Galaxy S7 Edge: No information
• Galaxy S8:Confirmed (March 29, 2019 - 7 months, 23 days)
• Galaxy S8+:Confirmed (March 29, 2019 - 7 months, 23 days)
• Galaxy S9:Confirmed (Jan. 29th, 2018 - 5 months, 23 days) (Carriers & Unlocked Version)
• Galaxy S9+:Confirmed (Jan. 29th, 2018 - 5 months, 23 days) (Carriers & Unlocked Version)
• Galaxy S10: Android Pie out of the box.
• Galaxy S10+: Android Pie out of the box.
• Galaxy S10e: Android Pie out of the box.

Sony

While not nearly as popular as other OEMs in the US, Sony has had an improving track record when it comes to updates. Sony has recently confirmed that Android Pie is coming to the devices indicated below, but there's no word on their other recent devices, so we can only assume the phones with "No information" below won't be getting the update.

• Xperia L1: No information
• Xperia L2: No information
• Xperia X: No information
• Xperia X Compact: No information
• Xperia X Performance: No information
• Xperia XA1: No information
• Xperia XA1 Plus: No information

• Xperia XZ2 Premium:Confirmed (Nov. 15th, 2018 - 3 months, 9 days)
• Xperia XZ3: Android Pie out of the box

ZTE

Recently, ZTE has had some trouble in the US market, even getting banned by the US government for seven years. After some negotiations, it appears the ban is lifted, and ZTE will be able to resume normal operations soon. How this turn out will dramatically shape the speed at which their phones sold in the US receive updates (or if they receive them at all). But as of now, we are still waiting.

• Tempo Go: No information
• Axon M: No information
• Axon 7: No information
• Axon 7 Mini: No information
• ZMAX Pro: No information
• ZMAX 2: No information
• Blade V8 Pro: No information

We'll keep updating this page as we find new information and update timetables for the devices listed above, so check back soon! In the meantime, if you have a phone that was released in the US in the last two years and it isn't shown here, let us know in the comment section below and we'll look into its Pie status.
