Android 9.0 Pie Update for Samsung Galaxy A6 and A6+ 2018 is official
Right on schedule, well at least based on Samsung’s Android Pie timetable for the Galaxy A6 and A6+, is now rolling out. The file size for the Galaxy A6 is seeding at 1.35 GB and has a version of A600GDXU4BSC9 / A600G0LM4BSC9 / A600GBXU4BSC1. The security patch however is still stuck at February 1, 2019 update.
If you have unlocked device, you can try to manually trigger the software update in the Settings if there is no notification for the latest firmware. Make sure you plugged the phone in the charger if you are running low on battery.
The Samsung Galaxy A6 and the bigger A6+ are just among the Korean’s mid-range offering last year. Samsung skipped the Android 8.1 Oreo for these devices, the reason is that they will go straight to Android 9.0 instead. And here we are right now with the roll out of Pie which comes with bevy of new features including the new One UI facelift.
Android 9 for Samsung Galaxy A6: What’s New?
As mentioned there are plethora of new features that Samsung implemented with the latest Android Pie update. Most obvious is the new skin on top of Android or what Samsung called the “One UI”. There are also other update that didn’t make its way –just in case you were wondering– due to the hardware limitation. Among that is missing which is found on the higher-end phones are the lift to wake and the always-on-display because it doesn’t have that feature to begin with.
One of the significant update is the night mode wherein a more darker theme for the core Samsung apps and settings that makes it easier on the eyes. The notification tray, settings and some app like messaging have a black background with the latest Android Pie roll-out.
Another changes is the card style multitasking, which some may or may not like due to longer swipe it takes to get to other recently opened apps. You can also hide the navigation bar in Display settings and swipe up from the bottom edge instead to access menu, back and recently opened apps.
A host of redesigned apps such as dialer, messaging, gallery, calendar and camera undergoes a makeover which also are well adapted to night mode as well. Some Samsung apps such as Calculator, Internet Browser, Members, Device Health Services will be updated now via Google play store when you upgrade the Galaxy A6 with Android Pie.
