[View online](=) //WEEKLY ☰ ⊗ [News](=) [Reviews]( [Best Lists]( [Videos]() [Community]() Dear {NAME}, ​ Have you ever wondered what really happens behind the scenes when a smartphone manufacturer decides to roll out an Android update? Well, you're in luck, because we recently had the pleasure of discussing this very topic with Agnès Crepet, the head of the software sustainability department at Fairphone. In a fascinating conversation with my colleague Antoine Engels, she discussed the nuances of software updates and the role they play in smartphone sustainability. Agnès' role, for those who might not know, is quite vital. She is responsible for improving the sustainability of smartphones, a job that intertwines with the subject of Android updates. With every new Android version, there's a lot of backstage work that needs to happen before it reaches your phone. And trust me: this process is not as simple as pressing a button. It involves a significant amount of testing and troubleshooting. Also, the longevity of software updates plays a crucial role in the sustainability of the smartphone industry. However, I will stop here and suggest that you read the full interview to understand the details that occur behind the scenes until a new Android version runs smoothly on your phone. Cheers, ​ ¢Â€Â‹ ​ Camila Rinaldi Head of Editorial --------------------------------------------------------------- ​ //The Bottom Line Behind the Scenes: How Android Updates Reach Your Phone?
