It is very easy to carry out software updates for your Android smartphone. Here's how it works..
Software updates are offered from time to time for most Android smartphones. In this article we will show you how to carry out such an update. Basically, you have two options for updating your Android smartphone: Download an update with your Android smartphone ("over-the-air") or connect your Android smartphone to the PC and carry out the update there.
Android smartphones usually offer you software updates on their own. All you have to do is follow the instructions on your phone. You can also search for updates manually and then install them. Make sure you have a WiFi connection and that your battery is at least 50% charged . Then follow our step-by-step instructions or take a look at the brief instructions .
Note: The steps may differ slightly from smartphone to smartphone..
We generally recommend that you carry out the software update directly via your smartphone. Occasionally this may not work. In such cases, some manufacturers allow you to update your smartphone using manufacturer-specific PC management software. Samsung, for example, has developed the Kies program, Huawei has developed the so-called HiSuite and Sony uses the Xperia Companion for updates . The functionality is similar everywhere: you connect your smartphone to your PC via USB, start the respective management software and follow the instructions.
