Start the clock: HTC One M8 and M7 will receive Lollipop before February of next year
Now that Android 5.0 Lollipop is now being pushed to AOSP, HTC USA announced via Twitter that they are now in possession of that same source code. With Lollipop now officially in the hands of HTC, the clock has now been set to 90 days — that’s how long HTC promised it would take for them to begin pushing out Android 5.0 Lollipop after getting a hold of the code.
So really, this is nothing more than a reminder, but it’s fun to watch an OEM get as excited about software updates as we all are, especially when they’re as big a deal as Lollipop. We’ll still have to wait and see how HTC interprets Lollipop into their custom version of Android, but if the current version of Sense is any indication, they’ll do a great job.
