First US Galaxy S9 and S9+ Android 9 Pie updates rolling out to... Xfinity

Hagop Kavafian

After distributing its beta version to American S9 and S9+ devices at the end of November and updating international versions of the phone earlier this month, Samsung is now releasing Android 9 Pie and One UI to Comcast’s Xfinity S9s. That's a bit of a coup for Xfinity, as we're not accustomed to seeing a smaller carrier's version updated first, especially not before unlocked handsets.

Android TV app for Comcast Xfinity coming in 2018, but only for Sony TVs at first

Corbin Davenport

Over a year ago, Comcast revealed that it was working on an Xfinity app for Android TV. It was part of the 'Xfinity TV Partner Program,' designed to make its television service available on smart TVs and internet-connected streaming boxes. That way, you wouldn't have to lease a cable box (unless you didn't want TV congesting your home internet network) - just install the app and start watching content.

Comcast's new Xfinity xFi app gives you more control over your home network

Corbin Davenport

Changing your network settings, especially on a per-device basis, isn't easily possible unless you have a newer router - like the Google Wifi. For Xfinity customers using one of the standard Wireless Gateways, you could change basic settings from the Xfinity Account app, but not much else. Now Comcast has released a new app, xFi, that gives customers far greater control over their home network.

Comcast's XFINITY TV app is now XFINITY Stream, and users are pissed

Michael Crider

That's just Comcast's general state of being, but in this specific sense, it's all about the streaming cable TV app for Android. As promised, the former XFINITY TV app has been replaced with the all-new, all-different XFINITY Stream.

Comcast Releases Xfinity Share, Offering A Way To Stream Live Video From Your Phone To A TV

Ryan Whitwam

Comcast has had a rough couple of weeks with the implosion of the Time Warner merger. Maybe releasing a new feature will help it move past the disappointment? Xfinity Share is a tool that lets you stream pictures and video to a cable box, either yours or someone else's. This is part of the Xfinity X1 platform, so both you and the owner of the target box need to be subscribers.

Comcast is finally acknowledging Android Wear's existence with an update to its Xfinity X1 Remote app in the Play Store.

[New App] Comcast Releases XFINITY TV X1 Remote With Voice Commands For Controlling Its Latest X1 Platform Boxes

Bertel King, Jr.

The concept of using your smartphone as a remote isn't a new one. Modern flagship devices such as the Galaxy S4, HTC One, and LG G2 all have built-in IR blasters and ship with pre-installed apps for controlling your TV. The Play Store even has a few downloadable options with more features. Now Comcast is rolling out a remote of its own intended specifically to control its new generation of XFINITY boxes. You know, the ones with the sleek black UI, not the aging blue one.

Xfinity1 Xfinity2 Xfinity3

Xfinity4 Xfinity5

Not only does the app have the obvious ability to change channels and pause whatever's on, it comes with voice commands to make searching for shows easier.
