If you’ve been wondering when Android 5+ Lollipop would land on your HTC One (M8), sadly, this isn’t it, but we do have some leaked photos of what it might look like.

A number of screenshots have leaked of what we can expect of Android 5.0 Lollipop and Sense 6 on the HTC One (M8). Which HTChas promised we should see officially roll out by the end of January.

Updates include a move to the Android Lollipop style Recents UI, as opposed to HTC’s old app. Lock screen notifications are also brought forward from Google’s approach. There are a few tweaks to the quick toggles in the notification bar and Material Design visuals, primarily the icons.

For all the new users out there, and those just looking for a simple interface on their Android phone, there is also a new Easy mode that pops the most common activities into a simple to navigate tiles.

With HTCpromising to roll out the latest versions of Android to their latest flagship phones within 90 days of the official code release, we should expect Android 5+ Lollipop to hit the One (M8) by the end of January. However, with leaks like the visuals today, and a few rumors of this update expected for early January, it is, by chance, not unrealistic to expect the sweet release well before that 90 day promise runs out.
