Disclaimer
Update availability and timing vary by device manufacturer, model, carrier, and region. Always check your device's official settings or the manufacturer's support site to confirm. Android 17 unlocks 5G by default, RCS, and Wi-Fi Calling (if you have the Cape app installed).
Android 17 is Google's latest OS version, rolling out first to Pixel phones and then to other brands over the following months. Here's how to check for it.
Steps to Update
- Open Settings on your device.
- Go to System → Software update (wording may vary by brand).
- Tap Check for update, then Download and install if Android 17 is available.
Tip: connect to Wi-Fi and keep your device charged before starting.
