HTC on Tuesday announced the start of
the rollout of the Android 5.0 Lollipop
update for the HTC Desire Eye , alongside
the HTC Desire 816 .

The announcement came via HTC UK's
Twitter handle, which stated "We are
proud to announce that we are rolling
out #Lollipop for Desire Eye and 816
smartphones from today. Enjoy!"

A report from earlier this week, had
claimed the HTC One (E8) and HTC
Butterfly 2 were also receiving the
Android 5.0 Lollipop update alongside
the Desire Eye, but so far, there is no
official word about a Lollipop update
rollout for those phones. The Taiwanese
smartphone maker also did not provide
changelog for the Desire Eye and Desire
816.

However, certain changes that are eviden
in Android 5.0 Lollipop include the new
more colourful and animation-filled
Material Design UI along with several
under-the-hood improvements resulting
in better battery usage, faster opening of
apps because of ART (Android Run Time
and more.

While HTC failed to mention the size of
the update, LlabTooFer, a tipster earlier
this week stated that Desire Eye's
Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update will weigh
1008.9MB (ROM 2.19.709.1). The tipster
added that HTC with certain models will
be skipping bundling Sense 7.0 UI
(debuted on the HTC One M9 ) with the
Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update, and will
instead roll out the new UI to those
phones with Android 5.1 Lollipop.
The tipster also claimed the HTC Desire
Eye along with the One (M8) , One M8s
and Butterfly 2 will be receiving the lates
Sense 7.0 UI, along with select other
smartphones.

HTC last week started issuing a system
software update that claims to fix issues
with the rear camera of the HTC One M9.
As per the report, HTC One M9 seems to
be taking better photos in both bright
and low-light conditions, both indoors
and outdoors, with sharper images, less
noise and wash-outs, and more vibrant
colours after the update.
