New Features in Android M
Android M will bring a range of new features to smartphones and tablets. Some of the key enhancements include improved app permissions, which will give users more control over what information apps can access. This means that users can choose to grant or deny permissions on a case-by-case basis, enhancing privacy and security.
Another significant feature is the introduction of Doze Mode, which aims to improve battery life by putting the device into a deeper sleep state when it’s not being used. This can significantly extend the battery life of devices, especially for those who don’t charge their phones every day.
Android M also introduces native support for fingerprint sensors, which will make it easier for manufacturers to include this feature in their devices. This will enhance security and make it more convenient for users to unlock their phones and make payments.
HTC’s Commitment to Updates
HTC has a history of being relatively quick with software updates compared to some other manufacturers. The confirmation that the HTC One M9 and One M9+ will receive Android M is a testament to the company’s commitment to keeping its devices up-to-date with the latest software. This is particularly important for users who want to take advantage of the latest features and security improvements.
The HTC One M9 and One M9+ are flagship devices, and it’s not surprising that they are among the first to be confirmed for the update. However, HTC has also promised to announce additional devices that will receive the update in the future. This is good news for users of other HTC devices who are hoping to get the latest Android version.
We can expect the Android M software update to land on the HTC One M9 and the One M9+ sometime later in the year. The exact release date has not been provided by Google, but it is anticipated to be in the latter part of the year, following the typical release pattern for major Android updates.
As soon as we get more details on when the update is being released and also what other HTC devices will get the update, we will let you guys know. It’s always a good idea to keep an eye on official announcements from HTC and Google for the most accurate information.
In the meantime, users of the HTC One M9 and One M9+ can look forward to enjoying the new features and improvements that Android M will bring. Whether it’s better battery life, enhanced security, or more control over app permissions, the update promises to make these devices even better.
