HTC has announced that it will give some owners of the HTC Sensation and HTC Sensation XE an early preview of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, although it looks like the preview will only be available in Europe.
HTC have also said that they may extend the Android 4.0 preview to other devices as well as the Sensation XE and the original Sensation, but they didn’t give any specific details.
“HTC knows how excited many of its customers are about the latest technology and HTC products. They want to help support that excitement and say “thanks” by providing early access to the latest software for some of HTC’s loyal fans and developers, beginning with a preview of the Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) software upgrade for the HTC Sensation and HTC Sensation XE in Europe.”
Details on the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Preview
The Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update is one of the most anticipated software upgrades for Android devices. It brings a host of new features and improvements, including a redesigned user interface, enhanced multitasking capabilities, and improved performance. For HTC Sensation and Sensation XE users, this preview offers a chance to experience these enhancements before the official release.
HTC’s decision to offer an early preview is a strategic move to engage its loyal customer base and developers. By doing so, HTC not only rewards its users but also gathers valuable feedback that can be used to refine the final release. This approach underscores HTC’s commitment to delivering high-quality software experiences.
Potential Expansion to Other Devices
While the initial preview is limited to the HTC Sensation and Sensation XE in Europe, HTC has hinted at the possibility of extending the preview to other devices. This could include popular models like the HTC Sensation XL and the HTC Evo 3D. However, HTC has not provided specific details on which devices might be included or the timeline for such an expansion.
The potential expansion of the preview to other devices would be a welcome move for HTC users who are eager to experience the latest Android features. It would also help HTC maintain its competitive edge in the rapidly evolving smartphone market.
HTC have said that they will announce more information via Facebook and Twitter at a later date, and the actual Android 4.0 update for these devices as well as other devices is expected before the end of March.
