The Taiwanese company HTC has promised update to Android 5.0 Lollipop in a shorter period than 90 days the two phones in its range One, the HTC One and HTC One M8. Although there are still several weeks to meet this deadline, it seems that the owners of the HTC One and HTC One M8 in their version of Google Play will receive the Android 5.0 Lollipop update this week. And we are not talking about a rumor, but it has been a senior HTC official (Mo Versi) that has confirmed this information from his Twitter account ( @moversi ).
To be specific, the HTC One and the HTC One M8 in the Google Play version will begin to receive - apparently via OTA - the Android 5.0 Lollipop update from this Friday (November 21).
Recall that the Google Play version of these phones is the one distributed through the official Google store, a version that incorporates a completely clean interface layer of the Android operating system. As these are mobiles that do not include their own interface, it is not necessary for HTC to make any modifications prior to the distribution of the update and, therefore, the update reaches users much earlier than the owners of the versions distributed by it. own manufacturer. The same occurs with mobiles distributed by telephone companies, since it is the operators who must apply their own changes to the interface before launching an update.
Since HTC needs to update its interface before distributing among mobile version of Android 5.0 Lollipop of the operating system Android, the network already circulating rumors that suggest that with this update also will release HTC Sense UI 7 interface HTC Sense UI. Regarding this data, there is no official confirmation from HTC, so we will have to wait until the final distribution of this update (scheduled for the beginning of 2015) to discover if the interface will bring any change in its design or in its operation..
On the other hand, in addition to these two HTC flagships, there is also a good chance that both the HTC One Mini and the HTC One Mini 2 will receive the Android 5.0 Lollipop update. In this case we are talking about an update that would not begin to be distributed until the owners of the HTC One and HTC One M8 received this version, so its distribution could be delayed until the middle of next year 2015.
We hope that the first users to receive the Android 5.0 Lollipop update on their mobile phones will not take long to publish videos and images on the network that allow owners of an HTC One or an HTC One M8 in its conventional version to get an idea of the news that will be found in their terminals.
