Get Excited for Galaxy S9/Galaxy Note 9 Features

Nothing is confirmed, but it looks like the Galaxy S8 will receive software features from the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy Note 9. 

A lot can and probably will change between now and the official Galaxy S8 Android Pie release, but here are a few features that look promising right now:

  • A space will now be added automatically after a number when swipe to type is used. 
  • Support VoLTE and VoWiFi.
  • Improvements to Voice Recorder and Gallery (easier access to recorded videos).
  • Devices can now read the name and phone number during an incoming call 

The Galaxy S9 Android Pie update brings two key Galaxy Note 9 features (Scene Optimizer and Flaw Detection), but it's unclear if those features will make it into the Galaxy S8's update. 

We expect the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S8 Android Pie updates to share a lot in common so make sure you dig into all of the changes to get a feel for what's coming this year.

    I have the s7 now and have the s8, but on the s8, and the s7 I’ve noticed, that when an update didnt help cure some bugs the bugs just got worse, so skipping the 8.1 update, which is ment to aid in all suggested bugs is a fatal move, because if you enhance performance in a place you know their might be bugs, then you get a phone that struggles even more, by working with more enhancements, but with an apposing force… the bug. What I mean is the enhancement will have to work through bugs, that haven’t been cured. And I know that samsung knows this truly, EVREYTIME SAMSUNG AND OTHER ICONS LIKE APPLE RUSHED THEIR AID IN DEVELOPMENT, TH8NGS JUST GOT WORSE. PERIOD. this was unpleasant, but think… is it worth it to make things worse once again??!! Dont gete wrong the first time I got the s7, it was like a new heaven of UI was opened, so please samsung, I beg that you get this update finished in time, and not have pea0le get even more mad, and build up steam for a longer wait. Thankyou.

    I think Samsung has capability issues & hence an upgrade takes a lot of time. Major devices competing with samsung are much faster in OS upgrades compared to samsung. It is quite dissapointing & I think it is time to move away from Samsung to the 6Ts & pixels of the world who are economical & technically superior.

    Ehm… VoLTE is already supported for years (I have it on my Note 4 with Android 4) and VoWiFi is there already, too.
    Imho this article could just be 1 page, the other 8 are just jibberjabber… making a comment on how S8 owners might not be able to install an app? Seriously?
