HTC Devices To Receive Android Pie Updates

Android 9.0 Pie has been available since August of last year and it is currently running on many devices, with some OEM’s being slow about pushing the update out.

After 9 months of silence, HTC has finally announced that the latest Android version is finally coming to four HTC devices: the U11, U11+, U12 and U12+.

Funnily enough, HTC say the update won’t reach their current flagship, the U12+ first, but rather the U11, released all the way back in 2017. The U12+ and U11+ should receive the update somewhere in June.

This represents a fall from grace for HTC who were noted for providing speedy updates to their devices, almost as quick as Google’s own Pixel and Nexus devices but it’s been 9 months and now we are getting word about an update.

This isn’t promising for HTC devices going forward. With Android Q scheduled for release this year, in all likelihood the software won’t make it to HTC devices until somewhere in Fall 2020.
