It is something of a shame that users of unlocked Note 9 devices in Northern America are yet to receive official 9.0 Pie updates from Samsung weeks after other older flagships like the Note 8 and S9+ have got same.
Even worse are beta testers who are still stuck with December updates despite their contributions to help iron out bugs and provide recommendations to improve OneUI only to be left behind.
The claim is that Samsung is waiting for every carrier to release the OTA (Verizon is slacking) before unlocked Note 9's will be updated. Interesting excuse because when the beta version updates were pushed out earlier, they went out to every beta tester at the same time regardless of carrier.
The Samsung support team don't even respond to questions anymore, preferring the canned response thanking you for joining the beta and urging you to submit error logs - amusing considering the beta is more or less ended.
Interestingly, no tech media site or YouTuber has paid attention to this predicament either via comment, post or footnote. Can't blame them, they're apparently cuddling their new S10+ while they wait to embrace the Fold. As for the rest of us beta-testers, we have no choice but to go gnash out teeth on the Samsung Members app while Samsung gleefully dishes out their bot responses while they hope we pre-order the Galaxy S10+ and drown out our sorrow with free Galaxy Buds.
Gotta love Samsung...
