Here are the next two phones set to receive Android Lollipop updates

HTC on Thursday announced that its 2013 and 2014 flagship devices will be updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop starting on December 5th (around noon), but there’s a huge catch for getting your HTC One (M7) or HTC One (M8) upgraded to Google’s latest Android operating system: You must own a Google Play Edition (GPE) device in order to be eligible for the upgrade.

“M8 GPE Owners! We just received TA from Google!!, HTC’s vice president on product management @moversi said on Twitter. “I am very grateful for all your patience. [Over-the-air update] to start at noon on 12/5 (working to pull in),” he added.

“M7 GPE approval received as well! OTA on its way! Thank you again!” @moversi said a few hours later.

Those M8 and M7 owners who have a regular, non-GPE, version of either phone will have to continue waiting for their Lollipop versions to launch. A few weeks ago, HTC confirmed that it’ll take 90 days for regular HTC One (M8) handsets to be upgraded to Android 5.0.
