Sony it has failed us with the Xperia Z3 that 23 months after its launch, we learned these days ago that it will run out of Android 7.0 Nougat. Surprisingly, the phone that has served the Japanese manufacturer to test Android N, will have to look for them in other ways to have Nougat.
But not only does Sony have a lack of commitment, but HTC, which launched the One A9 on October 20, 2015, promised that the unlocked version of this smartphone would receive the software update within 15 days after the Nexus released it. received. This was a way to claim attention of more users and is in itself pure marketing.
Yesterday the company itself revealed the schedule of the updates for Android 7.0 and stated that the HTC One A9 will be updated after the HTC 10 receives the update in the fourth quarter, which will take us from October to December.
What happens is that, if the One A9 you will get the update after HTC 10This means that it will be much more than the 15 days after the Nexus devices receive it. How could you say, do not promise what you cannot deliver and that is precisely where the Taiwanese manufacturer has stayed.
Not the first time HTC has not complied your promises regarding updates. As early as 2015, it promised that the HTC One (M8) and HTC One (M7) would be updated to Android 5.0 within 90 days after receiving the update from Google. Now is when the same situation is repeated with the One A9.
So we will have to look suspiciously at HTC when we sell smoke again. A company that has managed to get this year one of your best phones in years with the HTC 10, but not accompanied by sales.
