HTC Android Jelly Bean device update list leaks out
When Google releases the newest version of Android, it is always bittersweet news. Sweet because the platform is the most rapidly evolving one on the market, adding tons of great features with every release, and bitter because just about everyone knows it will take months until they get the update. And if they get it.
The worst part of that is not knowing, and at least now we have that crossed off for HTC. A list of all HTC devices that will get Jelly Bean has leaked out, and while it does not claim to be full, or definite in any way it does look that way. And it comes from a relatively trustworthy leak source - Football4PDA.
So here are the HTC devices that will get updated to Android Jelly Bean:
What is not so great that some devices are notably missing from this leaked list. Devices like the HTC Sensation and Desire X are not there, and we know that earlier HTC said phones with 512MB or less RAM won’t get JB, but those devices have more. Still, it seems they have reached the end of their update life cycle.

The company has earlier confirmed that the HTC One X - of course - will also be updated. Some of those you might have not heard about like the One S C2 seem to be regional versions of a handset, in this case the One S. And having clarity about HTC’s Jelly Bean update plans is great.
