HTC was Google’s other Android 5.0 hardware partner alongside Motorola, producing the Nexus 9 tablet. Head over to the official HTC software update page, and it’s confirmed the HTC One and the HTC One M8 will be updated. Although the company aimed to issue the update within 90 days of the team receiving the final version from Google, it missed the deadline.

HTC stated that it plans to introduce those updates very soon, though. Now it’s officially confirmed that the HTC One M7 from AT&T will start getting the Lollipop update on March 31, while the HTC One M8 from AT&T will be updated on April 8. The HTC One M8 from Verizon also has the update available. Other versions will presumably get the update soon, too, though nothing’s official yet.

However, some people in Europe already have Lollipop on their One M8 phones. HTC’s Jeff Gordon confirmed the rollout on Twitter. And recently, some owners of unlocked and Google Play Edition versions of the HTC One M7 started receiving the update, reports PhoneArena.

As of February 10, T-Mobile introduced the Lollipop update to users with the HTC One M8 phone. The over the air update is 630MB, and can be found by going to Settings>About>Software update.

Having already worked on Android 5.0 Lollipop, this could mean HTC’s flagship phones will be brought right up to date this side of 2015. However, while HTC is busy replying to questions on this very subject through its official Twitter account, it’s staying quiet on the anticipated arrival, outside of the timeframe stated above. One reply says it doesn’t have any set dates, but it will come “in the next couple of months.”

Interestingly, the latest source has it on good authority that Lollipop will come to most of HTC’s lineup in the coming months. The HTC One M7 and M8 Google Play Editions will reportedly be the first to receive Lollipop, sometime in late November to December. The Sense-based versions will follow, receiving the update sometime in January or February.

The January to March timeframe, meanwhile, looks to be a very busy time for other HTC handsets. According to the source, Lollipop should make its way to the Desire Eye, One M8 Dual-Sim, One E8, One E8 Dual-Sim, and the Butterfly 2. The One Mini 2 and Desire 816 should receive Lollipop sometime in March or April, while the One Max, One Mini, and Butterfly S are slated for the update sometime between March and May. Interestingly, there is no mention of the 64-bit Desire 820. In addition, HTC’s Mediatek-powered handsets are still under evaluation, so it’s up in the air whether they will receive the Lollipop update.

HTC’s official statement on the subject of these other phones is that the company will “be announcing more devices in the near future.”
