Full Updates / Incremental Updates

OS update is one of the powerful ways to maintain device performance. This article describes two update methods, Full update and Incremental update.

APPLIES TO

Point Mobile devices with Android 7 or above

1. Full Updates

Update with the whole OS image file. Your device must have enough storage to download the whole OS image file.

2. Incremental Updates

Update with the file which contains only the differences(diff or delta) between installed OS in your device and the target OS.

The incremental update file is smaller than full update file, so you can OS update when storage is not enough for full update.

However, it only supports 1 version interval between original version and target version. If the interval is higher than 2 version, OS update will proceed as full update.
