The issue of Android operating system updates by manufacturers is a touchy subject. Google usually presents the new version of Android in Autumn and days after its official presentation, the source code is released so that those developers who want to can make their ROMs and manufacturers can update their range of devices.
However, many manufacturers do not update all their devices, which means that Android fragmentation grows with the release of new versions. It is true that now, this fragmentation has been decreasing little by little thanks to the fact that manufacturers have taken the initiative to update their devices.
There are many manufacturers that update to the latest version of Android too late, but as the saying goes, better late than never. HTC is one of the manufacturers that updates its range of devices to the latest version of Android, in this case it is 5.1.1. Although the China-based manufacturer does not update its entire range of devices to the latest version, it will do so in its high-end terminals, specifically, in the HTC One M9 y One M8.
@ Sneakygh0st Nope, M9. M8 release might shift on early Autumn…

The first of them, the One M9, you should receive the latest version of the famous operating system during this month of August, a month later than expected due to internal company problems. For his part, the little brother One M8, you will receive Android 5.1.1 Lollipop to early fall.
We know this information thanks to a Twitter user known for his leaks about the company from China. Android 5.1.1 Lollipop is a minimal update to Google's mobile operating system, so it shouldn't bring many new changes. Users of these terminals can be happy since their devices will be updated to the latest version of Android to date.
