It was a person in charge of the Taiwanese company HTC who confirmed that both the HTC One M8 and the HTC One in their Google Play versions would be updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop this week. But, a few days later, the same person in charge has again announced that the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the HTC One M8 Google Play will be delayed indefinitely. Presumably this delay will also affect the HTC One Google Play, which will also not receive the Lollipop update as planned.
The confirmation of the immediate arrival of Android 5.0 Lollipop to the Google Play versions of the HTC One and HTC One M8 had its origin in the Twitter account of Mo Versi ( @moversi ), which appears to be a high position within HTC. This user confirmed from his account that HTC's objective was to distribute this update this Friday (that is, today, November 21), but a new last minute problem has made this update have to be delayed until a period of time yet to be determined.
In short, the owners of the HTC One and the HTC One M8 Google Play will still have to wait a few weeks to receive the Lollipop version on their terminals. Although it is difficult to predict what day the release of the update will take place, we assume that it will be before the end of December.
And what happens to the owners of an HTC One or an HTC One M8 in its factory version - that is, the version that HTC distributes -? HTC is committed to updating the HTC One and HTC One M8 to Android 5.0 Lollipop in less than 90 days, which means that before the month of January the owners of both terminals should begin receiving the update of Android 5.0 Lollipop on their mobiles. Presumably, the update will arrive via OTA, so that it can be downloaded by entering the Settings application, accessing the " About device " section and clicking on the " Software Updates " option.
On the other hand, a few days ago the first screenshots of an HTC One M8 running under the Android 5.0 Lollipop version appeared on the net. Assuming that they are real images, in them we can see what the news that the update of the latest version of Android will bring with it to both the HTC One (2013) and the HTC One M8 (2014). From what can be seen in the screenshots, HTC will keep much of the characteristic design of the HTC Sense interface in the Android 5.0 Lollipop update.
