Ever since Google started rolling out Android 9 Pie to its Pixel devices other smartphone manufacturers, including Essential and Xiaomi, have started releasing the Android update for their devices. Other manufacturers like OnePlus and Huawei have promised updates for some of their devices as well, with Huawei already testing the OS update on four of its devices. Sony has recently also joined the ranks of Android manufacturers who’ve started testing Android 9 Pie builds for some of its devices.
In case you have a Pixel device, you’ve probably already received the update, but in case you’re rocking a phone from one of the several other manufacturers, you might have to wait a fair bit before the Android 9 Pie update is rolled out for your device. However, if you’re not willing to wait, you can also manually flash the Android 9 Pie ported GSI image, provided you have one of the 20 supported devices.
