The same thing that happened with the HTC Desire to update to Gingerbread, has happened with the HTC Desire HD, a more powerful model that, officially, is unable to test Android 4.0. This has been confirmed by the Taiwanese company itself through its official blog where it can already be crossed out from the list of terminals that would receive the relevant software improvement.
A few days ago, a Canadian operator commented that the update to Android 4.0 for HTC Desire HD was canceled. HTC meanwhile did not comment on anything. However, after seeing the reaction of users, the Asian manufacturer had to step out and calm things down: HTC was working on the possible upgrade to one of the latest versions of Google's mobile platform.
However, after some denials; step quickly to say otherwise "" the same situation that users experienced with the original HTC Desire smartphone "", the manufacturer officially comments that after some attempts to transfer the platform to their equipment, finally HTC Desire HD remains untested Android 4.0 or Ice Cream Sandwich.
To be more exact, the explanations that HTC has given from its official website are that after multiple tests, they have considered that the current version of HTC Sense "" the manufacturer's proprietary user interface "", this is the one that works best in the HTC Desire HD. When they are testing new versions of software, the part that is positioned as decisive is the user experience. And, after the reasons, the Asian manufacturer apologizes for the confusion that may have been created in recent days.
Therefore, the only smartphone manufacturers are already testing the version of Google or should receive, are: HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation XL, HTC Sensation XE, HTC Incredible S or HTC Desire S. But beware, the developer community has already worked to bring this platform unofficially to the terminal and on the Internet you can find different custom ROMs that will make the HTC Desire HD relive a second youth.
On the other hand, the Taiwanese company already has different equipment on the market that present this standard platform. This is the HTC One range where can be found as advanced mobile HTC X "" team of four cores "" HTC One S, V or HTC HTC One Desire C. However, only the first two are being tested so that Jelly Bean "" also known as Android 4.1 "" can work inside. And again, customers who have purchased the following two teams will be waiting to see if they can officially update their teams.
The latest figures that have emerged is that HTC is not achieving the sales quotas that were expected. An example is what happened during the last two years. And, after thinking about the consequences, the company decided to turn its business strategy 360 degrees and commented to the specialized media that fewer smartphones would be launched this year. However, an example to follow could be what Samsung is trying since its new manager commented that they would turn to the technical and software part of their terminals.
