Samsung began its beta testing for One UI based on Android Pie towards the end of last year and the company has now begun the rollout of the stable Pie update for the Galaxy S9/S9+ as well as the Galaxy Note 9; however, up until now the Android 9 firmware for the Galaxy Note 9 wasn’t available and users had to wait for the OTA update to get the update on their devices.

That changes today. Now, you can simply install one firmware file on your Note 9 to upgrade from Oreo to Android Pie — so this is now indeed as easy as Pie. No more the hassle of installing one particular Oreo firmware first, and then installing a series of Pie OTA updates to reach final stable build. One firmware flash would do now.
