Just bought my first smartphone (Coolpad Catalyst with Android version 5.1.1) a couple of months ago, and am still getting familiar with the way things work on this platform, which differs from the PC world in several significant respects.
My question right now is: Is it possible to upgrade a phone that came with Lollipop pre-installed to the latest version (Nougat), or am I just stuck with the factory version (plus any minor updates that may become available). I'm not really very clear on how upgrades work in Google/Android-land, but I get the sense that Google (and the phone's manufacturer, and even the service provider) have a lot of say-so re: what you can and cannot do with your phone.
So, quick-and-dirty-like, is upgrading my phone's OS within the realm of possibility or not? And if it is, where do I begin?
TIA for any enlightenment!
