#HTC One M8 Android Lollipop

HTC recently confirms that it started seeding the Android Lollipop update for their current flagship smartphone – the HTC One (M8). If you got yours from a telco, then chances are you still have to wait a little more before you can upgrade your smartphone to Android Lollipop. As with the previous updates, the Android Lollipop will be seeded OTA and the download will be 580MB in size. It will come with the new HTC Sense 6 UI along with all of the good stuff that Android 5.0 has to offer. Brands like OPPO, realme, vivo, and Xiaomi are testing Android 17 only on their flagships so far: OPPO officially launched Android 17 Beta 2 for the OPPO Find X9 Pro, OnePlus for the OnePlus 15, with Vivo opening the developer preview for the Vivo X300 Pro and iQOO 15. And does Android 17 eligibility factor into your next smartphone purchase? Without the iPhone, we would not have seen the likes of Samsung Instinct, Omnia i900, HTC Touch Diamond, LG Dare and Sony-Ericsson Xperia this early. I had 4 most likely candidates as a great iPhone alternative -- the HTC Touch Diamond, Nokia N96, Samsung i900 Omnia and the Sony-Ericsson Xperia.
