To update from your phone, you need to go to the corresponding menu item. Click on the "Settings" icon in the main menu of the device, which is accessible by pressing the central button of the device. Go to the section "About phone" - "Phone update" and check for updates. If a message appears on the screen that there are no updates, then the latest version of the software is already installed on the smartphone.
