Android 16 Available for Archer 4

Android 16 is now available for Archer 4 handheld devices. All new devices shipped after May 11, 2026, will have Android 16 installed. To review the new features available with Android versions 15 and 16, go to https://developer.android.com/about/versions. To see all changes included in the upgrade, review the Archer 4 release notes.

When you connect to the internet, Android will notify you that a system update is available. If the notification doesn't appear, go to Settings > System > Advanced > System update > Check for update. Upgrading from Android 14 to Android 16 will not cause a full factory reset of your device. However, we still suggest that you back up your data before initiating the upgrade.
