The reveal came from HTC’s Twitter feed, which added that the carrier varients for the One M9 would get the same Nougat sometime in early 2017. The same update was also released for the unlocked HTC10 a couple of weeks ago. The company has also confirmed that Nougat will also be released for the One A9 at some point, but there is no specfic date.

The upgrade to Nougat for older phones is moving along at a slow pace. The latest Android distribution numbers which came out today show that Nougat is only installed on only 0.4 percent of all Android devices so far. Other over-the-air updates have been released in recent days for the LG G5, the Moto Z and Moto Z Force, the Sony Xperia X Performance and a few others. Samsung is in the middle of beta testing its Nougat updates for the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge phones.
