Non-Pixel Phones Which Got Android P Beta & Eligible Android One Devices Will Get Android Pie Update By December

The stable builds of Android Pie were released just an hour ago for the Pixel, the Pixel XL, the Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL. In addition to the above-mentioned smartphones, the Android P beta was available for seven other smartphones. These included the Essential PH-1, the OnePlus 6, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S, the Xperia XZ2, the Nokia 7 Plus, the Oppo R15 Pro and the Vivo X21/UD. While the Essential PH-1 got its Android 9 Pie update within minutes of the Pixels, all the other smartphones will get their Pie update at some point in time. We don't have exact dates for when the Android 9 update will be released for these phones, but we do know that these devices should get the update by late-Fall.

In its announcement post for Android Pie, Google wrote:

Starting today, an over-the-air update to Android 9 will begin rolling out to Pixel phones. And devices that participated in the Beta program from Sony Mobile, Xiaomi, HMD Global, Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus and Essential, as well as all qualifying Android One devices, will receive this update by the end of this fall. We're also working with a number of other partners to launch or upgrade devices to Android 9 this year.

The fall season ends on December 7 in the United States. We, therefore, believe that the aforementioned devices will get the stable Android Pie update by December. At the launch event of various Android One phones (namely the Mi A1 and the Mi A2/Lite) released over the past year, Google said that Android One phones will be among the first devices to run Android P. According to Google, the eligible Android One smartphones (those launched after the General Mobile GM 6) should get the Android Pie update by December.
