Back in March, HTC revealed the Android update status for a number of its devices. The Taiwanese company said the update will begin in the second quarter of 2019 but wasn’t specific about the date. On Friday, May 10, the manufacturer shared on Twitter specific timeframes for the update.
The HTC U11 will be the first of its flagships to get the Android Pie update. The 2017 flagship will begin receiving the update in late May. The U12+ will follow in mid-June and the rollout will begin arriving on the HTC U11+ in late June.
We want to share the release schedule of the Android Pie updates for #HTC smartphones. Please note, certain regions & carrier deployment may affect these dates. U11 rollout will begin late May, 2019; U11+ will begin late June, 2019; U12+ will begin mid-June, 2019. Thank you pic.twitter.com/eyeCdX5qWm

HTC adds that regions and carriers may affect the dates these devices will receive the updates. There is no mention of the HTC Exodus 1 which launched last year with Android Oreo. But since it has the same internals and even design as the HTC U12+, we expect it to receive the update to Android Pie shortly after the U12+. You might want to add a few weeks because the Exodus 1 has some custom security features.
