Notes:

1. This upgrade will not delete or modify your usage data, but it is still recommended that you back up your data before the upgrade.

2. During the upgrade, extra power will be consumed and the device temperature will briefly rise a little. It is recommended that a charger be connected. After the upgrade, the temperature will quickly return to normal.

3. Installation packages will be automatically deleted after the upgrade is completed. They do not take up device storage space or affect the running speed of the device.

4. After the upgrade, when the device is being charged and idle, the system will be deeply optimized in the background to improve the user experience, during which the temperature and power consumption may briefly increase. The optimization may take about one hour
