Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile are surely heading to the Android 6.0 Marshmallow for HTC One series. This has been revealed by HTC executive Mo Versi last month. However, exact release date has not been detailed so far. Will One Mini, One, One LTE (M7), and One Remix join flagship devices One M9 and One M8 for the Marshmallow update later this month?
As unveiled mid-August, HTC Vice President of Product Management Mo Versi took Twitter to announce the news. Reports have already circulated that since HTC has been too overdue with updates it might mean Marshmallow will come to its phones as it debuts later this month. The Taiwanese tech firm however remains silent about the report.
What is certain for now, HTC is bound for an Android 6.0 Marshmallow update. Major mobile carriers in the United States are reported on the verge preparing native updates for Android 6.0 Marshmallow as it is set to release by the end of September. However, there is no final word yet from the carrier if indeed it is releasing the update as soon as before this month ends.
