HTC is one of the first few smartphone makers to announce the Android 8.0 update for its smartphones. However, Google had already mentioned a few companies it is partnering with to roll-out the new OS. In a blog post, Google said it is working with, “Essential, General Mobile, HMD Global Home of Nokia Phones, Huawei, HTC, Kyocera, LG, Motorola, Samsung, Sharp and Sony” to upgrade existing device to Android Oreo. Indian smartphone manufacturer Micromax had also recently confirmed that its latest launch, the Micromax Canvas Infinity, will be upgraded to Android O.
Apart from the OS update, HTC is already rolling out another new update for its flagship U11 smartphone. The update called as version 1.27.400.9 weighs in at around 665MB and brings new enhancements to the handset.
