HTC One A9 smartphones being the latest offering of the Taiwanese brand have been confirmed by an executive to receive the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update this month. The upgrade will bring in exciting new emoji.
Mo Versi, HTC Vice President of Product Management, revealed on Twitter last December 7, that the first software version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow will officially roll out to One A9 devices before December 2015 comes to a halt. The flagship device of HTC for the year 2015 was first released in October with Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box, one of the lucky devices to sport the new build first.
As confirmed by Versi, the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update will come in with a string of new and updated emoji to choose from. The executive promised on his tweet that users will be able to get the update just in the nick of time, which means by the end of this month.
With Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, over 200 new additions will comprise the collection of emoji. This includes new faces, polished ones to emphasize countenance, and many more enhancements. One example is the person raising both hands in celebration. In Android 6.0, the head and the hands are shown, in Android 6.0.1, only the hands are shown.
HTC already underscored in a previous post on its website that it will roll out the first Marshmallow update within 15 business days of the first Nexus smartphone getting the update. Judging by the looks of the statement, the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow software version will hit One A9 by the 28th of December.
Meanwhile, One M9 is slated to receive the Android 6.0 Marshmallow software this month as well. However, other reports told that it will come to the device early in January based on the statement of Versi via Twitter about the release of Marshmallow to One M9 in Canada.
One M8 devices have already received the update ahead of One M9 which made people wonder on the weird move of HTC.
