You should upgrade your Infinix Note 5 or the Note 5 Pro Stylus to Android 9 Pie if you own either of the two as you are among the selected by Infinix Mobility for this upgrade.
The Android 9 Pie (known as Android P during development) is the ninth major update and the 16th variant of the Android OS. This version was first announced by Google around March and was released to the public on August. However, Google has plans to also launch the lite version, Android 9 Pie (Go Edition) this year.
Although the Infinix Note 5 and the Note 5 Pro Stylus comes out of the box with Android 8.1 Oreo, they will be able to get the Android 9.0 Pie update as well as the next Android version with regular security patches.
This article will show you how to upgrade Infinix Note 5 and Note 5 Pro Stylus to Android 9.0 without any hitch. Below are the steps to follow.
Upgrade Infinix Note 5 and Note 5 Stylus to Android 9 Pie
You should make sure you take the following precautions before you make an update on your device.
Ensure your phone’s battery is above 80%
Backup your important files even if the process will not wipe your device’s memory.
Have enough data for the download and also ensure that your device contains enough internal storage for the upgrade.
If you have the requirements as mentioned earlier in place, then you can follow the steps below to make an update on either your Infinix Note 5 or Note 5 Stylus.
First, turn on the home screen of your Phone. Scroll to the Settings Icon/App and click on it. You can also perform this action by pulling down the phone’s notification panel and clicking on the “Gear” icon to access the Settings menu.
Next, scroll down to the “About Phone” option and click on it. When the page opens, choose the System Update.
This action permits your Infinix phone to search for updates via a stable internet connection automatically. Within a short time, the Android 9.0 update should appear on your screen.
However, if you did not see a message telling you to update after your phone’s automatic search, this means Google has not rolled out the update for your device yet.
Finally, download the update and install. Your phone will reboot as soon as the process is complete.
When your phone comes back on, it will have the latest Android OS, Android 9.0 Pie. Now that you have it let’s show you some cool things your device can do because of the update.
Benefits of Upgrading to Android 9 Pie
(1) Saves Your Battery
The Android 9.0 Pie OS helps your Infinix Note 5 or Note 5 Pro Stylus manage their battery usage when you click and select the Adaptive Battery option. It also helps push the apps you rarely use into the background thus conserving your battery power. You can access the Adaptive Battery feature by scrolling to the Settings>Battery> Adaptive Battery.
(2) Sets the Brightness of Your Infinix Phone
With this update, your device considers the app you are using with its ambient light levels to set the screen brightness automatically. This prevents you from having to adjust the brightness slider manually when using a video app on your phone. You can find this option under the Display menu of Settings.
(3) Creates Custom Features Via App Actions.
Android 9 Pie includes App Actions, custom shortcuts which can predict your next action when using an app. For example, you can get a shortcut to Spotify if you plug in a pair of headphones. To view these actions, check your app drawer.
(4) Take Quicker Screenshots.
You can still take screenshots the old way, i.e. the volume down and power button combination on your Android 9 Pie device. However, with the update, you can take faster screenshots by long pressing on Power and tap on the Screenshot instead.
(5) Allows You to Navigate Your Phone Easily
With Android 9 Pie, you have more swipe control than previous versions. You can swipe up on the Home screen to view the apps you used recently, swipe down again to access the app drawer. You can also edit some of these features by scrolling to Settings>System>Gestures.
(6) Helps You Mute Reoccurring Notifications
Your new operating system can detect when you dismiss constant notifications from the same app and ask if you want to mute them or allow them to display continuously. To restore apps you have previously muted, open Settings then click on App & Notifications>Notifications. This action enables you to know how many alerts each app has delivered and also allows you to toggle the pop -up on or off option.
