Motorola might probably update these devices by the end of 2018, and the Moto G6 Plus might receive the Android Pie 9.0 by the Q1 2019. However, the Android One based Moto X4 and the Moto Z3 will be the first moto devices to get the latest flavor of Android.

Lastly, in 2018 under new leadership, we expect Motorola to back to its roots and also update it’s budget devices like they use in the Moto X2 era, back in 2014. However, with the launch of the Moto E5 series recently, Motorola made one thing clear that the Moto E5 series won’t be getting any major OS updates, but will continue to receive necessary security updates for the next 2 years.

OnePlus 6 will be the first OnePlus device to be treated with Android Pie 9.0 Update, which will start seeding by the end of 2018. The device is already running the beta version of the same.

While for the OnePlus 5T and the OnePlus 5 the Android Pie 9.0 will be the last update of the lifetime, and it is expected to also arrive by the end of 2018 to early 2019. Moreover, the Chinese giant has very few devices in its arsenal to care of so major Android OS updates will be dispatched quickly as compared to other OEMs.

Generally, the update for the LG G7 THINQ will arrive first in its home country, that’s in South Korean and by the end of 2018 to early 2019 we shall see it arriving for global models.

List of Xiaomi devices that might get Android Pie Update

Yes, it is surprising that the Redmi Note 5 Pro, which is the latest device from the Chinese OEM is in a controversial stage that whether it will get Android ieP 9.0 or not. Because the device was launched with Android Nougat 7.0 and immediately it got an upgrade to Android Oreo 8.1. Which is a direct shift to a major OS, and Xiaomi usually only offers one major update for its budget devices. Check out the detailed Xiaomi Android P update list and MIUI 10 update list here.

These devices mentioned above had already completed their update cycle or are entry-level devices, which usually do not get any updates. However, Xiaomi devices are all about MIUI updates, rather than Android related updates. MIUI is so featured reach that, most features on Android may already present within it, and Xiaomi fans usually care about MIUI updates. And speaking of ROM, the Android Pie based MIUI 10 or MIUI X, won’t show up until early 2019.

These devices mentioned above might indeed get the Android Pie 9.0 update. However, suppose the device with the lite/mini moniker Honor 9 Lite was launched with Android Oreo 8.0 out of the box and is a budget device and should get at least deserve one major update. It still all comes down to Honor to the last decision on which device should get the update, most of it all depends upon the sales figures.

The Android Pie 9.0 update shall be arriving for these devices in Q1 of 2019, so it�s a long journey to go, thanks to Kirin chips and EMUI skin. Nonetheless, if the Project Trebel is playing its cards on these devices than, we can expect it to arrive much earlier, but it depends on whether the OEM implements it or not.

List of Micromax devices not getting the Android Pie Update

  • Canvas 1 2018
  • Canvas Infinity Pro
  • Bharat 5 Plus
  • Bharat 5
  • Bharat 2 Ultra
  • Dual 4

Micromax once a well known Indian brand has now lost its position to the likes of Xiaomi and Huawei and the company is no more producing any good devices since 2017. It’s Sub-brand Yu is also mum on announcements of any new products and both giants have lost their path. This is Due to the fact of producing Chinese re-branded products and selling them under made in India�initiative, which no longer works.

However, the company launched a pair of devices in 2018 called the Canvas 1 2018, a successor of the legendary Canvas series back in 2013. But sadly the device runs on standard specs and runs on Android Nougat in 2018, which readily suggest you that none of the phones launched by the company is getting any Android Pie 9.0 treatment. Unless the Yu brand brings something new which should tout Android P 9.0 ships out of the box.

Xolo similar to Micromax is an Indian brand which was at its peak in the Android KitKat era, and now the company hasn’t released even a single device in 2018, and the last one was launched in early 2017. And all of them run on Android Marshmallow 6.0, and there’s no chance whatsoever that any of its devices are eligible for Android P 9.0 Update.

No new Xolo devices were launched recently, and none of the pre-2017 and 2016 devices should expect Android Pie 9.0

Blu smartphones Android Pie 9.0 Update

There’s no update for any phones that BLU has launched, and the company mostly focuses on entry-level to mid-range devices. So, none of them even look capable of running anything more than Nougat.
