Google Nexus 9 tablets on T-Mobile get Android 7.1.1

Google Nexus 9

Since this is not the first Nougat-based firmware for the Nexus 9 tablets on T-Mobile, the update is tiny, weighing only 52 MB. Even this way, the update comes with a few noticeable changes, such as support for sending GIFs from the keyboard.

Google Nexus 9 has been around for more than two years, but since its hardware allows it, this slate has just received Android 7.1.1 Nougat on T-Mobile. This 8.9-inch tablet is powered by a Tegra K1 SoC and was released with Android 5.0 Lollipop on board.

The last firmware update for this tablet was Android 7.0 Nougat, so the new software package is not large at all. However, the 52 MB firmware even comes with a few new features, the highlights being app shortcuts directly from the home screen and support for GIFs from the keyboard on apps such as Google Messenger, Hangouts, or Allo.

In addition to the above, Android 7.1.1 Nougat also comes with a new set of emojis and a lot of redesigned old ones, as well as this month's security patches and bug fixes. The OTA update on T-Mobile rolls out in stages, so those who did not get the notification yet can go to Settings > About Device > Software Update and check for it.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
