Review device configuration settings to confirm that the Google Android devicet recently released version of Google Android Pie is installed. For Google Android Pie, version PQ3A.190605.003.A3 must be installed (it is the NIAP approved version). Note: This version of Android can only be installed on Pixel 3 devices purchased directly from Google.

This procedure is performed on both the MDM console and the Google Android Pie device.

In the MDM management console, review the version of Google Android Pie installed on a sample of managed devices. This procedure will vary depending on the MDM product.

On the Google Android Pie device, to see the installed operating system version:
1. Open Settings.
2. Tap "About phone".
3. Verify "Build number".

If the installed version of the Android operating system on any reviewed Samsung devices is not the latest released by the wireless carrier, this is a finding.
