Early Android Pie beta now available for the Snapdragon Samsung Galaxy S9

Yesterday, we published the first hands-on of Samsung Experience 10 for the Samsung Galaxy S9+. After publishing details on how to install the early Android Pie beta on the Snapdragon Samsung Galaxy S9+, we now have this same build but for the smaller Snapdragon Samsung Galaxy S9. If you’re interested in seeing what’s new in the update, check out our previous article. If you want to install the early Android Pie beta on your Samsung Galaxy S9 with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, then check out our tutorial below. Right now, we only have the build for the Snapdragon Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ but not for either of the Exynos models or the Samsung Galaxy Note 9.

Unlike the Snapdragon Samsung Galaxy S9+ build, our tester for the Snapdragon Samsung Galaxy S9 reports that both the front-facing camera and AR Emojis work. However, since this is an early beta build, your mileage may vary.

Warning: This build is unstable. We do not recommend installing it unless you are willing to deal with some issues. The new night theme cannot be disabled. More features could be broken that we haven’t seen it yet. Do NOT install this unless you are comfortable with Odin, because while it’s possible to downgrade to Oreo, it’s not easy to do so.
