Every mobile manufacturer releases their devices updates via OTA, some are regular updates, while some are security patches. Whenever these updates are released, they are rolled out in batches where the mass keeps on increasing after every batch. For example round 1 – 1000 people, round 2 – 3000 people and so on. The batches can be region wise or any way they prefer.
Let me cut the crap and get you to the topic of this article.
