Along with the new design came apromise to update the new hardware within 15 daysof Google’s own Nexus hardware.
Unfortunately this promise is specifically limited to the unlocked variant sold in America, and thus those using anything and everything but said specific smartphone has had to play the waiting game. Indeedtwo updates have alreadybeen pushed out so far for the international 2GB RAM/16GB storage model, includingnew display options. HTC’s own Mo Versi had previously teased the update via Twitter some days ago:
According to various sources, the update is now rolling out now. It should be noted that as the HTCOne A9 already shipped with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the update to6.0.1is far less dramatic thanthat for the One M9. The minor point update is mainly designed tofix bugs related to Android’s time keepingfunctionality, as well as add new emoji.
Regardless of what is contained, the fact that the international One A9 can now be updated the the latest and greatest build of Google’s mobile OS is worth rejoicing over.
