How to update the software on your Galaxy Smartphone
Keeping your phone up to date lets you utilise its full potential and enjoy the latest features. Here’s a step-by-step tutorial on how to update your Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
You will find the update settings in one of the below places (these differ by model and operating system):
- Settings > Software update > Download and install
- Settings > About device > Software update > Update now
- Settings > About device > Software update > Download and install
- Settings > Software update > Download updates manually
Operating system updates are released periodically for your device. If you are having difficulty with your device, you should always check for updates.
Software updates fall into two general types: operating system updates and security updates. Please note that the type and version of update will depend on your model.
Android code names are named after sweets and treats, with major new versions generally released annually. You will often see operating system updates referred to by their name rather than the version number.
Example: Android U: Versions 14.0 I Android T: Versions 13.0 I Android S: Versions 12.0 I Android R: Versions 11.0 I Android Q: Versions 10.0 I Pie: Versions 9.0 I Oreo: Versions 8.0
