Your phone downloads updates over your Wi-Fi 
connection (if available) or mobile network. We 
recommend that you download updates over a Wi-Fi 
connection. Remember, these updates can be quite large 
(25 MB or more) and may not be available in all countries. 
If the mobile network updates are not available in your 
country, update using a computer.

Note: 

when updating your phone, make sure you have 

enough battery power to complete the update.
