A tweet from HTC in response to a question about the HTC
One mini 2 reveals that the handset will not be receiving an
update to Android 5.0. The phone, which was launched
exactly a year-ago yesterday, carries 1GB of RAM and
features the Snapdragon 400 chipset inside. The One mini 2
was supposed to be a compact version of the HTC One (M8)
and offered a 4.5-inch Super LCD 2 screen with a resolution
of 720 x 1280.
According to the message that was sent from HTC's Twitter
account, "We determined that Lollipop on the One mini 2 will
not provide an optimal experience; it isn't scheduled to receive
the update ." HTC's Mo Versi tweeted back in March that
only the Google Play edition of the HTC One (M7) would be
receiving an update to Android 5.1 . HTC had guaranteed
that the model would receive updates for two years from its
launch date, but that time period had expired. A subsequent
text from Versi hinted that HTC brass was reexamining the
situation .
Back in the summer of 2011, HTC originally said that it
would not update the HTC Desire to Gingerbread (Android
2.3) due to the lack of storage space on the handset. The
manufacturer had originally said that the model would be
receiving the update. A few days later, a tweet from HTC
tersely announced that it had changed its mind once more
and the HTC Desire was once again scheduled to receive
Android 2.3.
Considering HTC's history of flip-flopping in similar
situations, HTC One mini 2 owners should probably wait a
week to see if the company changes its mind.
