Marshmallow heading to the HTCOne M8 GPE this month
HTC is planning to roll-out an Android 6.0 Marshmallow update to its One M8 Google Play Edition smartphone sometime in October.
I’ll forgive you if you had forgotten all about the Google Play Edition range of smartphones, as I had, so it’s lucky that HTCis planning to breathe some new life into its stock Android handsets with an Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for the HTC One M8 GPE.
@athreya7777 M8 GPE will include Marshmallow OS update. Our target is this month. Will advise once we are close to release.— Mo Versi (@moversi) October 6, 2015
According to HTCProduct Manager Mo Versi, an update for the phone is expected to arrive at some point this month. He didn’t specify a specific time frame, but HTCwas pretty fast with a 5.0.1 Lollipop update for the same smartphone, which appeared within a week of the Nexus roll-out. I guess HTCisn’t planning on being quite that fast this time, as further details will be announced once HTCis closer to releasing the update.
Unfortunately, there has been no word about whether a similar update will appear for the HTCOne M7 GPE. HTChas already released a list of smartphones (above) that will be receiving Android 6.0, but the M7 and some of HTC’s other slightly older smartphones are all absent from it. Marshmallow updates for its current range of smartphones are expected to begin rolling out towards the end of 2015 and into 2016.
