HTC 10 Android Nougat update coming later this year

HTC 10 Android Nougat update coming later this year

After Android 7 Nougat launched earlier this week and HTC has told us it'll be updating its two most recent flagship phones to the new Android software by the end of 2016.

HTC has confirmed it will be updating the HTC 10, One M9 and One A9 from October onwards.

A spokesperson for HTC told TechRadar, "We're excited to receive final shipping Android 7.0 Nougat software from Google.

"We expect the update to begin rolling out to the unlocked HTC 10 in Q4, followed by unlocked HTC One M9, unlocked HTC One A9, and carrier versions of these devices."

It's worth noting HTC set itself a 90-day deadline to get Android 6 Marshmallow software onto its flagship devices after the software launched last year, but eventually missed its own cut-off date.

Missed the date

That could mean the company might indeed miss its deadline this year and push the upgrade to 2017.

HTC has yet to confirm whether the HTC One M8 will be getting the upgrade to Android 7 Nougat, but considering that phone is two years old it may mean there's no update in the works.

It's also currently unclear which HTC Desire devices will see the upgrade to the latest software. We've asked HTC for more details on when other phones will be getting the upgrade and we'll be sure to update you when we hear more.
