[Dinesh jain]

Android Lollipop is official and now slowly
handset vendors will start announcing update
cycles for the new version of Android. HTC
has jumped the line, and after Motorola and
Sony it has announced the timeline for the
Lollipop update for its devices. As expected
the first phones that will receive the update
will be its Google Play Edition phones, which
offer a stock Android experience. This will
happen some time in November or December.
Phones running its custom Sense UI will
receive the update at a later date. Between
January and March phones like the HTC One
(M7), the HTC One (M8), HTC One (E8), HTC
One (M7) dual-SIM, HTC One (M8) dual-SIM,
Desire Eye, and the Butterfly 2 will get the
update to Lollipop.
The One mini 2 and the Desire 816 are
expected to receive the update between March
and April, and the One mini, the Butterfly S and
the One Max will get the update sometime
between March and May.
Notably, phones that are based on Mediatek's
chipsets may not receive the update to
Lollipop. These handsets are still under
evaluation. Even the newly launched Desire
820, which has a 64-bit Mediatek SoC does not
have a timeline for an update to Lollipop.
