Yesterday we wrote about the HTC One M7 not being updated past Android 5.0. Not surprisingly, this was met with an uproar from current user who want Android 5.1. The news came from HTC Product Manager Mo Versi, and today he has some more optimistic news about the situation.
I heard you all on M7 5.1 for Carrier versions. Many of the fixes are already in our current SW, but understand your concerns. Stay tuned.

Mo says that many of the fixes are already in Sense, but they understand the concerns from users. This is something that we mentioned in yesterday’s article. HTC has been fixing a lot of the issues that Android 5.1 fixes on their own. The One M7 is already on Android 5.0.1, which is very respectable for a two-year old device. Mo did say to “stay tuned,” so maybe HTC will eventually bring 5.1 to the M7.
This whole situation is a microcosm of problem with Android updates. A lot of times manufacturers are fixing things and adding features before they make it into Google’s stock version of Android. Sometimes it’s not necessary to get every little Android update. We’ll keep an eye on developments for 5.1 on the M7.
