Over half of HTC One M9 units in the United States have finally been updated to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. However, units under AT&T and US Cellular remain stuck under the radar of Lollipop.
HTC One M9 units under AT&T and US Cellular are slated to receive the official Android 6.0 Marshmallow after a relatively long gap from Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile's releases. HTC first released Marshmallow on its phones since the beginning of this year in Canada, UK, US and even to other countries.
There are no exact details as to when these mobile carriers will receive the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update on its HTC One M9 units. However, previous reports already stated that this will come in the first quarter of the year. If HTC will live up to its promise, One M9 shall receive the update this week. Meanwhile, both AT&T and US Cellular were not vocal about their plans for the device until now, but the update must come with a surprise.
