Updating your mobile OS? Remember these


There's an OS upgrade available for your smartphone. Getting tempted to go for the upgrade, but not very sure. Here's an upgrade guide to follow


Know what update offers
Be sure to read what the update offers. It is boring in most cases, but be patient - you need to know exactly what is going to happen to your device after the update.


Check support
If you're content with your device, stick with your current OS. It is unlikely to harm you - do check, however, if the company continues to support it (they generally do).


Know if update works for your model
In most cases, updates work best with relatively newer models - older models sometimes do not get all the new features and may get bogged down.


Take backup
Back up your data. Most updates try to preserve user data (contacts, photos, videos), but they can go wrong.


Charge your phone
Charge your phone before updating (or plug in the charger) - updates need battery.


Save warranty
If you value the official warranty, get updates from official sources - unofficial ones can work but they do tend to void warranty and support.
