It looks like HTC’s Android Marshmallow floodgate is about to break open. HTC UK has just shared that the Android 6.0 update for the HTC One M8 is ready and will be released sometime within the next 48 hours. Following the HTC One M8 Marshmallow update rollout, HTC will also flip the switch and begin rolling out the HTC One M9 update as well. HTC UK did not give a specific release window, but the company’s Tween claims that it will be here “shortly.” Based on what we’ve seen in the past, we suspect the M9’s update will be making its way to phones by early next week.
HTC is also planning to release the HTC One M9 update for a few carrier-branded versions in Canada today, Sprint HTC One M8 by the middle of this week and the T-Mobile HTC One M8 on January 25.
With the UK updates for the HTC One M8 and One M9 right around the corner, we wouldn’t be surprised to see the same update made available to unlocked versions of the two phone in mainland Europe land late this week or early next week.
Great news! We'll be rolling out the Marshmallow update for the HTC One M8 over the next 48 hours. One M9 to follow shortly.
