Android 9 Pie


With the recent release of Android 9 Pie, I was wondering if there was any official news on if the Razer Phone was going to be getting that release.

There aren't any April Patch, only one Reddit user reported Pie Upgrade with changelog saying patches through April, but when he upgraded phone was on February patches as expected.

Even Razer support stated to me via email and chat that they don't have any update on security patches and the last version is February, they are looking into Security patches but nothing to say now (they said).

Kind of sad seeing the support for great device overall to suck so much.


This is correct

What that user had was the update we all got back in march I believe but it only now just rolled out in Singapore.
So I am in Thailand and my Razer Phone 2 is still on Android v 8.1.0, and security patch October 5, 2018. Is there any way to manually download and install the android pie update?

Nice but can't come soon enough
gotta love "in coming weeks" comment...that can be anywhere between next week and next month, but at least Razer finally said something after months of silence.If I had to guess.... this will probably be the last update for the RP1.
Why they don't write on official Razer forum? Very wired company management

That doesn't make any sense I'm afraid. After so many negative feedback about it first place they have to clear out situation their place and after go to other platform. It's shows how amateurs they are in marketing or don't give a damn about their actual customers. They wrote their because their sales went down and reputation as well and to save somehow quicker they wen for bigger platform but not for their actual loyal customers.
Razer are the used car salesmen of the gaming gear world , overpriced
shit with crap software and a CCE whose main purpose is to sucker you into buying their next piece of shit razer phones

Why publicly make a big post about it when you don't have a concrete date? Software delays happen. Carriers not accepting them, last minute bugs deemed too hazardous to make the cut etc.

Razer will post about when they're sure about a date im sure of it. They've already been burned announcing software updates that carriers have then turned down.
actually, on release, the price for what you got hardware wise wasn't bad, it's company communication and software that was horrid. The upcoming update (if it doesn't disappear) will determine if I keep my phone any longer or finally move on.

Sorry, but Reddit isn't public Or I'm blind? What is their user database and Razer? On Reddit post after couple of minutes around world goes news, on official Razer forum and takes weeks to go around world
All OS producing companies are announcing their upcoming products, even with 100k customers. And Razer?

After all how can you defend Razer I can't get it. I know people can be blinded from fanaticism but not on that level except Apple fan legions

You know I mean public as in official post on here/social media and not just a comment on on a thread on Reddit. They'll say more about it when they have concrete information.

Better to do that than to post when they expect it to roll out just to be either turned down by carriers for some odd reason and thus delay the whole thing and anger even more people.

Software is a very difficult thing to do. Hell look at Asus and the ROG even though they have a big set of software engineers at their disposal and it's not supposed to get Pie till Q3. OnePlus at the begining had a lot off issues too that's why they stopped revealing things way ahead of time officially.

I've personally sent so much feedback on to Razer showing comments, threads etc and pushing for you guys every step I can cause i know these devices deserve better and so do you all and I will not stop doing that.

Pie is only the beginning I'm fighting for constant security updates also.
Well let's see, but if they do upgrade the phone, i will take back all i have said, that they don't care. Even if it's late, better late than never.
with the recent update of 'COMING SOON' do we have any official date?
I couldn't edit or delete my other post. This forum should maybe work on some of them buttons. If I click edit, it should just work.

What I wanted to say is that I checked for an update and found no sauce.

Nothing as of yet but if I find out anything ill make sure you all know.
Please come soon
Love my Razer Phone, had it since pretty much launch day.

The firmware support has been absolutely abysmal. Such a shame for a solid well performing phone.

If Razer got their act together, posted in these forums and gave proper updates (and commented on when regular updates are to be expected) I'd buy a Razer Phone 3 (if it ever exists).
Yes bad support
Please let us know when
So, it's been a few weeks easy, is that reddit post the only mention of an actual update coming for the rp1?

Yeah it's the only comment I have seen. I didn't even see any official statement on any of razer's social media accounts or on here.
