"With hardware and software working together in harmony, see only what you need, using and viewing your phone with an experience that feels second nature. "Standardising these design elements not only enhances the UI’s aesthetic appeal but it also creates pleasing consistency with the rounded corners of Galaxy devices."

Samsung: Major 'One UI' upgrade teased The Galaxy S10 could be released next month<doc-sep>Samsung Galaxy S9 users are reporting battery issues after Android’s latest 9.0 update earlier this month, reports Softpedia News. A SamMobile writer reported seeing his battery sink from 10% to 5% in seconds, and his experience has been echoed by several Reddit users. Reddit user ToonTonic reported losing nearly 50% of their battery charge in an hour with no apps open. Another Reddit user reported their battery dropping from 10% to 4% in 3 minutes. It’s not just this Android 9.0 update that has affected battery life negatively, however. Samsung will possibly look to fix these battery issues in January 2019 as part of its expected patching cycle. Now read: More Android users are moving to the iPhone Xr<doc-sep>
Android Pie has been in beta for the Samsung Galaxy S9 for the past few weeks. Just ahead of Christmas, though, it seems Samsung has launched the rollout of the stable version of Pie just a bit earlier than expected. First spotted by SamMobile, Samsung has apparently launched the rollout of the stable version of its Android Pie update for the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. This official update isn’t all that different from the beta, bringing along with it Google’s various changes such as Adaptive Battery. Most importantly, though, it brings Samsung’s overhauled One UI design language. Notably, Samsung originally said that this update wouldn’t arrive on its devices until January of 2019. While we’re barely a week out from the New Year, it’s impressive to see the company delivering on the promised update earlier than expected. Granted, that does come with a caveat. So far, the rollout is restricted to just a handful of regions. This includes Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Italy, and the United Arab Emirates. Presumably, the update will be heading to more regions including the United States within the next couple of days. The Note 9 will also likely follow closely behind with its own official update. To check for an update on your device, head to Settings > Software Update > Download updates manually.
