Anew version of Android arrives every year with the same question on everyone’s minds. Will my phone get the update? For some, it’s when will my phone get the update? Generally, if you’ve bought a flagship that hasn’t received its second major Android update yet, it will get the update. The real question is when. For non-flagships, there’s never a lot of certainties. Sometimes OEMs push out updates but won’t update the device to the latest version of Android. So let us tell you, will your phone get Android 9 Pie update?
Google Devices to Get Android Pie
Of course, any list about Android version updates has to start with the Google devices. Although everyone knows that they will be the first ones to get the update. All the eligible Google Pixel devices have already received the update while the Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL already ship with Android 9 Pie.
Already upgraded to Android 9 Pie:
- Google Pixel 2
- Pixel 2 XL
- Google Pixel
- Pixel XL
Apart from the Pixel devices, all Android One devices have also been updated to Android Pie mostly. If you have an Android One device that is still running Android Oreo, the update must be just around the corner.
Asus

- Asus Zenfone 5

Will be upgraded to Android 9 Pie (expected): Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2, Zenfone Max Pro M1
Essential
Essential has only released the one phone called Essential Phone or the Essential PH 1 since 2017. The device even runs a bare stock Android. Naturally, it’s amongst the first devices to receive updates and Essential has been pretty good at providing them. The Essential PH 1 received its Android Pie update right alongside the Google Pixel devices.

HTC
HTC is a brand not quite making the headlines these days. The company did take to Twitter to announce that it will be updating four of its devices to Android Pie. These are the HTC U12, HTC U11 Plus, HTC U11, and the Android One variant of the HTC U11 Life.

Huawei/Honor Android Pie Update
Huawei announced EMUI 9.0, based on Android 9 Pie, back in September and also launched a beta program for some of its devices. So far, many Huawei and Honor devices have received the Android 9 Pie update but the Chinese OEM isn’t very clear about the devices that it will be providing updates for. It announced the devices that will receive the update in batches and then updates them before moving into the others. Huawei also rolls out the updates to the same devices in different regions at very different times. So even though, say, the Honor View 10 has been upgraded to Android 9 Pie, it is possible that it is only true for certain regions and not for others.

- Huawei P20
- P20 Pro
- P20 Lite
