After the Android L release date, update should come next. In case you receive an Android L upgrade on your phone, do not install immediately. Read these safety measures first.
You have to make sure that you have enough power to go on with the installation. Ensure that your battery is charged at least 50% to avoid power-off. You should also consider deleting apps, as well as files, that you no longer use. These only take space from your storage.
You may also want to protect your important files, photos, videos, and others. Save them in an external storage like microSD or create backups in Dropbox, Box or other similar cloud storage providers. In case something happens, your data is already protected.
You may also consider reading forums first. Sometimes, it is better to wait than to be an early adopter. Know if there are similar users that have made the update and read about their experiences, particularly difficulties and how they have handled or resolved them. You do not want to freak out only because you are not aware of what to do in case something strange happens.
With the Android L release date, does the update come to your smartphone yet?
