Without even being announced by Google officially a list has appeared of HTC devices that will or won’t be getting Android 4.3 and a possible timeline as well. The updates don’t appear to be slated for immediate update but could be arriving on most of their high end hardware relatively shortly.
As you can see from the list, the HTC One would be their highest priority and last years flagship devices – the HTC One X and One XL – are of course the next highest on the list; with all devices listed to receive the 4.3 update listing Q4 2013 as the likely date for the update to arrive.
Lower end phones such as the One s, Hero, Incredible S and Desire series are all off the list of candidates to receive the update.
This list is far from an official announcement, with the most suspect part is a promised upgrade to 4.3 for the Desire HD listed. The Desire HD has not even received an official update to Ice Cream Sandwich at this time, with HTC famously announcing the update and then pulling it a week later.
It would be nice to think that the list is real, however it feels like a work of fiction to me. What do you think?
