HTC U11 Life (unlocked) receiving Android 8.0 Oreo from today

The HTC U11 Life was introduced earlier this month, arriving on the Android One program in global markets, while those in the US received a variant with HTC’s Sense UI. The device launched with Android Oreo outside of the US, meaning those residing the states were left waiting for the latest Google software, but HTC assured that it wouldn’t be far off. Today, I bring good news as the US unlocked U11 Life is now said to be receiving Oreo.

HTC Vice President of Product Manager Mo Versi delivered the news via a Tweet published a couple of hours ago. Versi said that the update would be available “starting today,” but we don’t know how long it could take to hit individual devices.

HTC u11 life unlocked customers! You’re next with Oreo! It’s available to download starting today! Thank you!

HTC has been on a roll with its rollouts this week, having upgraded the regular HTC U11 flagship to Oreo just a couple of days ago. Here’s hoping the speedy updates continue for the rest of its smartphone lineup.
