Why should we update itel phone system?
-
For Security Patches.
While most of us invest in Antivirus apps on Android, do we even need one? One of the primary reasons we strongly recommend you always update your phone is for security patches. With thousands of hackers waiting to take advantage of software vulnerabilities to get access and steal your data, security update often comes with patches that block them from doing so.
-
Enhancement or addition of features.
Another fancy reason we update our phone, and you should also, is to get additional features and a fresh look. If you had an Android phone that was last updated about 6 years ago, we bet you don't want to live with it by now. The reason is that it looks much outdated and has fewer features.
When you update your itel phone, it brings additional features to the table and also enhances the existing ones for better functionality.
-
Performance and software optimization
Software never comes perfectly in the first release. Asides from security patches and the introduction of additional features, system updates also improve performance and fix lots of known bugs. It improves compatibility with apps. It can also reduce power consumption and make the device snappy.
