HTC One A9 first security update now rolling out (US)
HTC promised the One A9 would get updates within a 15-day window after Google released software to its Nexus line. Needless to say that’s a bold move. Any manufacturer would have trouble fulfilling such pledge, and we can’t say HTChas been the best at software updates.
We later found out HTCwasn’t only talking about the significant software updates. They are going all the way down to those monthly security updates Google rolls out to its Nexus line.
Rejoice, US HTCOne A9 owners are getting their first security patch today! They did surpass that 2-week window, but at about 3 weeks I say this is still an accomplishment.
The news comes from HTC’s very own VP of product management, Mo Versi.
HTC One A9 Unlocked Owners! The latest security updates (Nov) including improvements to the camera and battery will be OTA’d out tonight!— Mo Versi (@moversi) November 21, 2015
How many of you bought the HTCOne A9? Have you gotten the update yet? You shouldn’t really see any differences after installing it… and that’s a good thing. It’s just something to keep your device safe. Oh, and do keep in mind this is only for the US, unlocked version. These updates tend to roll out in batches, so be patient if yours hasn’t shown up yet.
