Samsung’s One UI is possibly the hottest update the company has issued for its devices. Owners of the S9, S9+, and Note9 have enjoyed it for a while, and so have those who bought the new S10/S10+/S10e, but users who have the older generation of flagships from 2017 have had to wait a little longer. After a few months in beta, the S8 and S8+’s update began rolling out in Europe and is now crossing the Atlantic to the US.
Sprint has issued the update for the S8 and S8+ and users are already reporting seeing the OTA notification. The update brings the March security update and weighs somewhere around 1500-1600MB, so make sure you have an unlimited and fast connection before you download it.

Once downloaded, your phone should be running Android 9 Pie with all the neat modifications of One UI, such as the night mode and more accessible icons on the bottom of the display.

ATT and T-Mobile join in
The Pie update is rolling out to the S8 and S8+ on both ATT and T-Mobile. For Note8 users, we’ve only seen reports of the software reaching ATT users, but odds are T-Mobile won’t be far behind.
