Galaxy Note 9 Android Pie beta release date: Download out now

This is the first time users of the Galaxy Note 9 will have access to a version of the software that's been live on Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus for a few weeks. Samsung has opened up registrations for the users via Samsung Members app, where you can head into Notices section to register into the One UI Beta Program on your Note 9 device. Follow the prompts and accept the terms of the program.

After successfully enrolling your Note 9 in the program, you'll need to download and install the software update in Settings Software Update. In any case it should not take long before the update is available worldwide.

Along with the redesigned One UI that's slated to officially roll out sometime in January, you'll receive Android 9 Pie and the November 2018 security patch.

As of today, Samsung has opened registrations and has begun pushing the beta firmware OTA for the Samsung Galaxy Note9 in India and Germany, as well as finally began pushing the OTA to those who registered on the Samsung + app in the United States. This allows users to reach those parts of the UI very easily which were earlier on the topmost edge of the screen hence making it more easy for one-handed use.
