A few days ago, we told you about the video leak from a Vietnam website about how Android Lollipop would look like in the HTC One (M8). A day later, the OEM received the go signal from Google to start rolling out the major update to the devices, including the unlocked ones, after the Google Play Edition received theirs last month. But now the question for owners of other HTC devices is when their smartphones and tablets will be Lollipop-ized.
A supposed leaked document now details the schedule of when the other HTC decvices will be upgraded to Android 5.0 Lollipop. If the document is to be believed, the next to receive the update will be the previous flagship One (M7) and it will be the last one to roll out at least for this month. For February, it will be the turn of the One (E8), Desire EYE, One (M8) Eye, and the Butterfly 2. March and April have a lot more devices to follow suit.
HTC will reportedly try to finish the Lollipop roll-out by April and then afterwards, it will start issuing a major firmware update to their Sense UI, alongside the next flagship device. Rumors are saying that this will happen sometime May, and that the new Sense will also come to the past high-end HTC phones.
HTC has not issued an official statement as to the actual rollout, but even if this document is true, our past experiences tells us that we shouldn’t hold them to this schedule. More often than not, there are a lot of delays for various reasons. So we’ll just believe it when Lollipop actually comes to our devices.
