Things You Should Know Before Updating OS

These are some obvious but must-know things that you should keep a tab on whenever you are trying to update the OS on your device. For instance, Galaxy F23 to Android 13-powered OneUI 5.0 here.

• First, ensure that your phone is charged. Although a 50% charge is enough for the download and install process, keeping the phone fully charged will back your device in case the update takes long or it gets stuck.
• The download size is 2.7GB in this case which means you should be connected to Wi-Fi unless you have a truly unlimited data pack on your phone. 
• During the download, the phone is available for calls, texts, and normal functions. However, once it starts installing the update, you might be asked to wait for a few minutes till the process take care of itself.
