Galaxy S8 Pie Update: 7 Reasons to Get Excited & 3 Not To

Get Excited for Bug Fixes, Enhancements & Security

Lots of Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, and Galaxy S8 Active users are still struggling with bugs and performance issues on Android Oreo. Android Pie won't fix them all, but we expect the update to bring improvements.

Samsung hasn't confirmed the update means we don't have an official change log just yet. That said, we expect the company, and its carrier partners, to tack on bug fixes, security patches and improvements, and performance enhancements. Major updates always have them.

Huge Android updates like Pie have also been known to correct battery drain problems, lag, and issues with connectivity (GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth). 

If you're struggling on Android Oreo right now, or if you're concerned about security, Android 9.0 Pie should help.

We also expect the Galaxy S8 Android Pie update to bring the latest security patches from Google and Samsung as well as security features like Lockdown mode.
