Android 9 Pie: everything you need to know

Google's new mobile OS is rolling out to a select group of phones. Here's the lowdown on the new features

Google's next version of Android finally has a name: "Pie". It's rolling out right now and is packed with new features, from extended battery life to new gesture navigation.

Pie marks one of the biggest changes in the way Android looks and feels in some years, with a more colourful interface, a collection of new movement animations and rounded edges on almost everything. Thankfully, it's still as fast as Android Oreo, at least on Google's Pixel smartphones.
