June 30, 2025
It’s been a week since Google officially unveiledAndroid Pieand announced that the update would be rolling out to itsPixel devices. While we’re still waiting for most smartphone manufacturers to share when the update will make it to their devices, HTChas confirmed that a handful of its phones will get Android Pie “in due course.”
According to a recent tweet, HTCwill bring the firmware update to theU12 Plus,U11 Plus, U11, andU11 life.

This announcement follows the news that Sony plans to bring Android Pie to itsXZ linesometime between the beginning of September and the end of November. Sony was a part of theAndroid P Beta Program, so it isn’t a huge surprise that the company plans to roll out the update so soon after the software’s official launch (though it is a pleasant one).
It’s great to see HTCannounce some of its flagships will be updated to Android Pie, but the lack of a timeframe is disappointing. At this point, it should be a given that a phone just released several months ago like the U12 Plus will be upgraded to the latest version of Android. By being so vague in its tweet, HTCcould bring Pie to its devices in a matter of days, weeks, or months.
At this point, we’re still waiting for companies likeOnePlus, vivo, OPPO, HUAWEI, and othersto announce when Android Pie will come to their devices.
