Usage Notes

When used for technology, "升级" implies improving performance or adding new features. In workplace contexts, it means promotion to a higher rank or position.

"升级" is a neutral term and can be used in formal and informal contexts. It often appears as a verb but can also be a noun in some cases (e.g., 软件升级 - software upgrade).
