Some news said that Android doesn’t have a very good reputation when it comes to timely software updates. The adoption rate of a new version of Android barely touches two digits after at least a year of its public release. We are looking at the same with the latest Android 7.0 Nougat release. However, at least a few flagship smartphones have managed to receive the update before the year ends. Among these is the unlocked HTC 10 which starts receiving Android 7.0 today.

The Unlocked #HTC10 is getting Android Nougat — We've just passed TA testing, so you can expect a rollout to begin on Friday.
As reported by WCCF Tech, HTC is expected to update HTC One M9 and A9 following tomorrow’s release to the HTC 10. But, the phone maker hasn’t shared any specific release dates. So far, LG and Motorola are the only two other companies who have rolled out Android 7.0 Nougat to a few of their smartphones, including the Sprint LG G5. Samsung is expected to start the release process in December after it initiated public beta testing process earlier this month.
