Good news for holders of the Razer Phone original, and is that it finally receives Android 9 Pie. The wait has been long, but it is here. We tell you all the news.

The original Razer Phone came out in November 2017. It was a high-end phone with all the necessary hardware to play perfectly, a Snapdragon 835 and 8GB of RAM, 4000mAh and a 120Hz refreshment screen.

The phone came out with Android 8.1 Oreo in its guts (it already came out with the latest version, which had been released just a few months ago), in that regard very well. But in terms of updates, it has cost a little more, and surely some had forgotten that this update could arrive.

Razer Phone with Android 9 Pie

The famous brand of computer gaming peripherals promised that its first phone would update to Android 9 Pie, the current version of Android (in the absence of the arrival of Android Q which will be released shortly). He didn't say when, he just said "soon."

And it seems that this "soon" has arrived, with a lot of news included in a update about 1GB. These are the news that we see. We remember that Razer uses an almost pure version of Android 9 Pie.

Even if it is with a 16: 9 screen, we will receive the navigation gestures how necessary they are today, especially to take advantage of the screen. Also the best management of the notifications that Android 9 Pie integrates.

We will also receive the adaptive battery to improve our autonomy and with it, the digital wellness, to take care of our digital health.

Of course we will receive bug fixes, as in all updates. And, how could it be otherwise, the security patch. In this case, the July 2019 security patch.

This is a staged release, so we don't know when we will start receiving it in most of Europe. But surely it will not take long, since there are already enough users who are receiving this update, as some have reported on the famous Android website, Android Police or on the "front page of the Internet", on the reddit platform. And when it starts to roll out somewhere, a few weeks separate the start of the rollout from the global extension.

Do you own a Razer Phone? Let us know if the update to Android 9 Pie has already arrived! Or if you are still looking forward to this precious and long-awaited update.
