The AYANEO Pocket S runs Android, so official firmware arrives as over-the-air (OTA) system updates managed through AYANEO's own software (AYASpace / AYAHome / AYASetting). Keep the handheld on Wi-Fi and well charged, check for the latest version, then download and install it. Updates can also be reached from the Handheld Settings shortcut that opens AYASetting. Note: AYANEO's published step-by-step OTA documentation is thin, so exact menu labels can vary between AYASpace versions.

FAQ

Where do I check for an update?
Open AYASpace (or AYASetting from AYAHome) and look for the version/update section, then check for and install the latest system version.
Is rooting needed to update?
No. Official OTA updates install on the stock, unmodified system. You do not need to root or unlock the device to receive firmware.
