Despite the fact that Android Q is already taking shape and Android 9 Pie is reaching new terminals, the BQ Aquaris U2 will have to settle for Android 8.1 Oreo for now. This version of the system, which is now two years old, is currently being deployed on this model. The terminal was launched in September 2017 with Android 7.1.2 Nougat with the possibility of updating to Android 8, so it has taken a short step in this time. However, this is good news, as the company has not forgotten to continue to support it.
Thus, if you are the owner of a BQ Aquaris U2, it is normal for you to see a pop-up message on the screen of your device advising you of the update. In case the days go by and nothing appears, you can check yourself if you can download it from the Settings section; System; Upgrade system; Check for updates. The update is coming via OTA (over the air), which means that you will not need to use cables to download it, just be connected to a WiFi network. Of course, make sure that at the time you do it you have more than the battery and a stable and fast Internet connection.
Android 8.1 introduced important new features at the time, which will now be available on the Aquaris U2. One of them was a light and a dark theme for the quick settings tray. It will appear in white or black depending on the color of the wallpaper set. Likewise, in Android 8.1 the Gestures section returned to the place it had in Android 7 Nougat (within Settings> System to locate Gestures), after changing places in version 8.0. On the other hand, we must highlight a faster and safer system, prepared to move towards Android 9 Pie.
The BQ Aquaris U2 debuted in September 2017. It is a simple mobile with a 5.2-inch HD panel, Snapdragon 435 processor along with 2 GB of RAM and a 13-megapixel main camera. The terminal also has a 3,100 mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 fast charge and dual SIM support.
