Before questions could even kick off, HTC revealed in their Reddit AMA that — although they may not have the best track record when it comes to delivering timely Android software updates in the past — they’re hoping to change this image moving forward. How, you ask? Well, HTC has formally announced their commitment to supporting all their future flagship devices with major updates for 2 years after they’ve been released.
Pretty bold words, considering HTC recently announced that the HTC One X and One X+ would no longer receive updates past Android 4.2.2 (which just rolled out last month). HTC claims that a lack of support from NVIDIA caused them to drop support for the global One X and One X+. So what happened to the One X in the US that uses a Qualcomm processor? They didn’t feel like it’d be fair only updating X and leaving the X+ high and dry.
But, after much feedback from the One X community, HTC has announced that they’re “actively exploring” how they can bring the HTC One X up to Android 4.4 KitKat. Holy. Crap.
For more info as it breaks, either keep it locked to Phandroid or tune into the HTC AMAA on Reddit.
