android 8.1/SE9.5 or android 9/SE10?

[jens Van Keer]

Now that the Note 9 is announced with android 8.1 and samsung experience 9.5 will we the s9/s9+ users get this version of android or will we skip right away to android 9 Pie?

The S9 should have had 8.1 from day 1. There was no good technical reason why it didn't. It's all marketing department nonsense. So, my bet is next stop for S9 series is Android 9. And not till Q1 2019.

we will probably skip to Android pie, though a month or so after the note 9 release.
