Samsung announced the Android 9 Pie update plans for the Galaxy S9, Galaxy S8, and Galaxy Note 8 smartphones at the Samsung Developer Conference 2018. South Korean giant also announced the One UI interface to replace the Samsung Experience UI with these smartphone. Although it is expected that the Android 9 Pie update will be available in January 2019, Samsung presented Christmas gifts for the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ users.

In addition to new One UI interface which is based on Android Pie, the update comes with several features like the ability to reply to messages right from the notification panel, image thumbnails in messages, Samsung keyboard with Unicode 11 emojis, and more. DeX mode on Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ will no longer need the dock (DeX station), just like on the Galaxy Note 9 and now users will be able to use any supported USB Type-C to HDMI adapter to use this feature.
