A noted HTC insider has made some bold predictions in regards to upcoming HTCAndroid 4.2 Jelly Bean and Android 4.3 Jelly Bean updates saying that he doesn’t think that the HTC One S or HTC One SV will move past Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, even if the HTC One S gets the bump up to Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.
HTC remains coy on many of its Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update plans. However, that hasn’t stopped noted HTC leakster from making some bold, and likely educated predictions about the company’s plans for some of its older devices.
LLabTooFeR is known to have inside information about HTC software updates and he has been dead on in the past about software updates. So when he makes a prediction, it’s definitely worth reading into.
The HTC One S Android 4.2 and Sense 5 update has been rumored for some users.
Today, he’s made a few of them and unfortunately, it’s all bad news for the two devices in question. When asked about Android 4.3 for the HTC One S and HTC One SV, he says that he doesn’t think either of them will be getting the upgrade to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean in the future. Furthermore, he adds that he isn’t sure about Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean for the HTC One S anymore.
Originally, he believed that HTC was looking into rolling out Android 4.2.2 and Sense 5 for the HTC One S, even after it cancelled the update. In the past, he has made it known that he doesn’t think the Snapdragon S3 powered HTC One S will get Android 4.2 but that it would be the Snapdragon S4 powered variant that would get it, if it arrived at all.
He suggests that Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean will be the last update for the HTC One SV, which seems to hint at an update down the road. HTC has yet to issue any update for the mid-range smartphone and it remains on Android 4.1.
Again, he has been dead on with his information in the past and at this point, it’s looking like the HTC One SV and HTC One S could both miss Android 4.3 with the HTC One S possibly missing Android 4.2.2 as well.
