Will my phone get Android 9 Pie in 2022?
The full roundup
Android Pie has been around a while by now. The fact is that not every phone will be updated to Android 10 — the latest version as of this writing — and Pie will be the final bit of software for them. The good news is that Android phones can be super-functional and secure while running Pie, so for the people waiting for this is pretty important.
While most devices that will be updated already have been, it's still important to keep track of how the rollout of Android Pie is progressing. Let's break it down by the major manufacturers of the phones we love.
All Pixel phones have been fully updated past Pie to Android 10. Even the original Pixel, which was a nice surprise.
And that's it. Prior to the Pixel, Google promised two years of full support and three years of security updates for phones they sell under their own brand. The Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X are just about three years old. Auf Wiedersehen, Adieu, Adios, Goodbye. They were great phones.

Other phones
There are a few phones with promised Android Pie updates that still haven't received them. The BlackBerry KEY2, for instance, was slated to receive an update to Android 9 at some point in 2019 but has not received anything yet. Even here in 2020, we're still waiting.
Google has moved onto Android 10, and if your phone still hasn't received its Pie update by now, it probably never will. Maybe it's time to start looking for a new phone.
