Moving on to the HTC One (M7), during the beginning of December, rumours stated that the One (M7) and One (M8) will receive the Lollipop update in early January. This was further confirmed by the credible HTC tipster LlabTooFeR. According to the tipster, the M8 will reportedly receive the software update within the next one or two weeks. But then, he did not mention the M7. However now, the same tipster has updated the M7 situation via a tweet, according to Android Headlines.
Apparently, the M7 will receive the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update. Based on the tweet, the aforesaid Android update will reportedly be the "last update" to the HTC One (M7), released in February 2013. It is worth noting that, the rollout of Android updates is reportedly valid for only the "two-year guaranteed" time frame, from the time the handset gets released. After the two-year time frame, OEMs are not committed to update the old devices.
On the other hand, the 2009 flagship HTC HD2 that originally ran on Windows Mobile Professional 6.5 will also reportedly get the Android 5.0.1 update. The HD2 has gone through many changes from the time it was released in 2009. Apparently, the handset has been running the following OS version at some point in time - forked version of Android via Nokia X, Firefox OS, Windows RT, Windows Phone 8, Windows Phone 7.5, in addition to dual boot Android and Windows Phone 7. With respect to Android, the HD2 has a history of running KitKat, JellyBean and Froyo, thus far, says Phone Arena.
