Google may have officially released Android ten, but there are still many devices that are waiting for the year-sometime Android Pie update. The T-Mobile Milky way S8 Active was one of them until yesterday. Thankfully, the long wait has come to an end as the rugged version of the 2017 flagship finally started receiving the Android Pie update on the U.s.' third-largest carrier.

The T-Mobile variant is getting the update two weeks afterwards the Sprint version and nearly two months later on the AT&T model received the aforementioned update. The delay looks even worse when you consider the fact that the Android Pie rollout for the Galaxy S8/S8+ started back in February itself. The Galaxy S8 Active is just a rugged version of the regular S8 with nearly identical specs, but customers had to wait much longer for the update.

The T-Mobile update weighs 1687 MB and carries the version number G892USQU5CSG7. The release brings Ane UI ane.1 based on Android Pie and the July security patch to the two-year-old device.
