    The wait is over for those waiting for the Sprint Galaxy S9 Android Pie update. Carrier-locked units in the United States have finally started receiving the latest iteration of Android. Verizon got the ball rolling first for the major carriers just yesterday. It has already released Pie for both the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+.

    Sprint has jumped on the bandwagon as well, leaving behind AT&T and T-Mobile. Multiple users have confirmed receiving the update notification from the carrier early this morning.

    Sprint Galaxy S9 Android Pie released

    Verizon's Xfinity MVNO was the first to release Android Pie for locked units on its network. Big Red followed suit the very next day. This goes to show that it may not be long before AT&T and T-Mobile also roll out the update.

    The carrier is rolling out firmware version G960USQU3CSAB for the Galaxy S9 on its network. Don't think it's going to be a 238MB update for you if you're on Oreo. You'll get one that's almost 1.5GB. The smaller updates are for those who are already on the One UI (Android Pie) beta.

    Users will get all of the new features that are included in Android Pie. This update includes One UI which is Samsung's latest custom skin for its devices. Check out our video demo of One UI for more and the feature focus series to learn what it's capable of.

    With the Sprint Galaxy S9 Android Pie update now out, it's only a matter of time before the carrier follows through for the Galaxy S9+ as well. Those who haven't received an update notification yet need not worry. One should land on their device in a few hours.

    Grab cleaner screenshots with your Galaxy device

    Samsung made it as easy as pie for Galaxy phone and tablet users to grab screenshots and screen recordings. By default, One UI users can capture screenshots on Galaxy devices by pressing the volume down and power buttons simultaneously, but as you may know, there are also ways to grab screenshots through gestures, a quick […]

    Got a new Galaxy S24 case and screen protector? Don’t forget these One UI settings

    Imagine this: You just bought a new Galaxy S24, and to keep it safe from damage and screen scratches, you wrapped it up in a case and put a screen protector on it. Fantastic! Save for the fact that, now, haptic feedback barely feels like it's there, and the touchscreen isn't very responsive. If this […]

    Galaxy S24 display too bright at night? Try these tricks

    Samsung's new Dynamic AMOLED 2X screens for the Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra are fantastic in our experience, providing superior image quality, colors, contrast, and brightness levels in all lighting conditions. On the other hand, some users might feel like the Galaxy S24's screens are a little bit too bright, particularly in dark environments. […]

    Samsung’s Modes and Routines is sorely lacking device ecosystem features

    I've been a fan of Samsung's Modes and Routines tool for years, but the feeling that it could use a few more options never went away. In fact, as my Samsung device ecosystem expanded, that feeling became more prominent. Granted, you can create plenty of fun and useful automations when you pair a Samsung smart […]

    Samsung better not remove Notification Categories in One UI!

    The Notification Categories feature is among the most useful and well-integrated One UI elements. I'd go as far as to say it's probably underrated, but that doesn't really bother me as long as the feature exists and remains a part of One UI. To be frank, the thought that Samsung might be preparing to remove […]
