Last week, Samsung launched their new Android Pie beta program. Initially, it was launched in the US and South Korea, and it was also scheduled to launch in Germany simultaneously.
For some reason, it did not launch in Germany at the same time as the US and South Korea. However, the good news is that it is now available in Germany. This delay might have been due to regional testing requirements or additional localization efforts needed for the German market.
How to Join the Beta Program
Owners of the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus handsets in Germany can now sign up for Samsung’s Android beta program to try the software out. This beta program allows users to experience the new features and improvements of Android Pie before the official release. It also provides Samsung with valuable feedback to iron out any bugs or issues.
In order to sign up for the program, you will need to install the Samsung Members app on your device. Once installed, you can register for the beta program through the app. This process is straightforward and user-friendly, ensuring that even those who are not tech-savvy can participate.
What to Expect from Android Pie
Android 9.0 Pie brings a host of new features and improvements to enhance the user experience. Some of the key features include:
1. Adaptive Battery and Brightness: These features use machine learning to optimize battery usage and screen brightness based on your usage patterns.
2. App Actions: This predictive feature suggests actions based on your usage habits, making it easier to navigate your device.
3. Slices: This feature brings relevant parts of your favorite apps to the surface, making them more accessible.
4. Digital Wellbeing: Tools like Dashboard, App Timers, and Wind Down help you monitor and manage your screen time.
5. Gesture Navigation: A new way to navigate your device using gestures instead of traditional buttons.
Samsung has also integrated its own One UI interface with Android Pie, which aims to make using larger smartphones more comfortable and intuitive. One UI focuses on making interactions more natural and reducing clutter on the screen.
Samsung previously announced that it would be releasing the final version of Android 9.0 Pie to everyone in January 2019. As of now, we do not have an exact release date in January. However, as soon as we get more details, we will let you guys know. This final release will likely include further refinements based on feedback from the beta program.
Participating in the beta program not only gives you early access to new features but also allows you to contribute to the development process by providing feedback. This feedback is crucial for Samsung to deliver a polished and stable final release.
The availability of the Android Pie beta program in Germany is a positive development for Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus users. It offers a glimpse into the future of Android on Samsung devices and provides an opportunity to help shape the final product. If you are in Germany and own one of these devices, consider joining the beta program to experience the latest features and improvements firsthand.
