Notes:

The download and installation process of the new version will consume some battery power and cause slight heating, which is normal.

During the restart after the installation, some system optimisations will be performed, expected to take 1-5 minutes. Please be patient.

After the upgrade is completed, some system applications will automatically proceed to the optimisation process. This may increase the experience in accessing power management. Keep the device charged and on during this period to prevent power drain.

It is recommended to merge the phone with the usage of the new system to obtain the best experience. Some third-party apps may not be compatible at this stage. Please ensure that such apps are updated to the latest version.

The update will not affect your personal data, but it is recommended to back up any important data before updating.

If you encounter any issues during the upgrade, you can get help by calling the HONOR service hotline or visiting HONOR Customer Service Centre.
