It’s quite surprising to see Galaxy Note 7 Fan Edition running on the latest Android 9.0 Pie distribution. Today, folks over at Sammobile has spotted the Galaxy Note 7 Fan Edition at WiFi-Alliance running Android 9.0 Pie. As per the source, a total of seven Galaxy devices have been spotted running the Android 9.0 Pie. The list includes all the flagships of the Korean giant launched in over past few years.

The listings have appeared at WiFi Alliance on November 12, 2018. So, it seems either Samsung is testing the new builds or have successfully tested as they are again certifying the devices from WiFi Alliance. Well, whatever the reason is for again listing on WiFi Alliance, it has given a chance of joy for the users of these devices.

The list of the devices that have been spotted at the WiFi Alliance is:

• Samsung Galaxy S9
• Samsung Galaxy S9+
• Samsung Galaxy S8
• Samsung Galaxy S8+
• Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Fan Edition
• Samsung Galaxy Note 8
• Samsung Galaxy Note 9

We hope all the Note 7 FE users are aware of the circumstances about how it evolved out of two recalls in 2016 following several fire incidents. It is a boon for those Note 7 FE users as they will get another chance to endeavor the latest Android system. It carries same specs as like of the Galaxy Note 7 except the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821, which took place instead of a Snapdragon 820. Even, a 3500 mAh battery was replaced with the 3200 mAh battery.

Talking about Galaxy S9 and S9+, then the Korean giant is going to roll out Android 9.0 Pie beta in the next couple of weeks. Units in countries such as the US, Germany, and Spain will be the first ones to taste Android 9.0 Pie.  The final version might be pushed out in January, next year as like of Galaxy Note 9.

Samsung is yet to officially confirmed on the Samsung Galaxy Note FE (Fandom Edition) launch date. However, a report from the Wall Street Journal states that Samsung may debut the Galaxy Note FE in South Korea on July 7.

Even a previous report had hinted that the Galaxy Note FE would be launching on July 7. However, another report that surfaced after it stated that the Note FE’s arrival has been delayed and it will be debuting at the end of July. However, the fresh report from WSJ seems to confirm that the Note FE will finally debut in the next week.

Samsung will be introducing the Note FE in South Korea initially. The phablet will not be landing in the U.S., but it will be also releasing in some other countries. However, there is no information on the countries that will be getting the Note FE. In South Korea, Samsung will be selling 400,000 units of Galaxy Note FE that will be made available through the three leading carriers of the country. The company was initially rumored to sell 3 million units of the Galaxy Note FE, but it seems that considering the strong demand for the phablet, the company may have increased Note FE units for the native market. It will be selling with a price tag of 700,000 KRW (~$613) in South Korea.

The Galaxy Note FE is the refurbished edition of the Galaxy Note 7. It will be featuring the same internal changes albeit some changes like a smaller 3,200mAh compared to the 3,500mAh battery of the discontinued Galaxy Note 7. The Galaxy Note FE is also speculated to come loaded with Android Nougat OS and carry some support for Bixby AI.

The Galaxy Note FE will be hitting the South Korean markets few months after the release of Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ in the country. However, the South Korean company is of the view that the Galaxy Note FE’s sales will not disturb the sales of the Galaxy S8 duo. It is speculated that Samsung will not be manufacturing more units of Galaxy Note FE because it is already working on the launch of Galaxy Note 8 that is expected to get unleashed in August or September this year. It rumored to be debut with a costlier pricing of around $900.
