HTC, a couple of months ago confirmed that three of its smartphones will be upgraded to the latest software aka Android Oreo. These devices are HTC U11, HTC U Ultra, and HTC 10. The Taiwanese company back then said that the mentioned devices will get the Oreo update by Q4. Now a report circulating all around the internet suggests that the HTC is already in talks with Google to update all the three phones to Oreo by November. But then, the company, mentioning the roll out timeline only says Q4 and didn’t mention any month as of yet.
Soon after Google announced Oreo back in the month of August it said that Pixel and Nexus phones are going to be the first ones to get the new software update. The company further mentioned that it is also in talks with other smartphone makers to upgrade some of their devices to Oreo. Google is reportedly working with Essential, General Mobile, HMD Global Home of Nokia Phones, Huawei, HTC, Kyocera, LG, Motorola, Samsung, Sharp, and Sony to bring the Oreo update to some of their devices.
HTC back in August tweeted the coming of Oreo to HTC U11, HTC U Ultra, and HTC 10. The company confirmed this via a tweet where it wrote, “We’re excited to bring Android 8.0 to the HTC U11, U Ultra, & 10, beginning with U11 in Q4. Stay tuned for more Oreo details & new products!”
Now a new report reveals that the Oreo roll out to all three HTC phones will happen in the upcoming month – November. This bit of information comes from a HTC leaker LlabTooFeR. According to the leaked report, HTC U11 Android Oreo update is in its final stage of development and this possibly why the company may bring the Oreo update in November.
