HTC One M7 Android 5.0.1 Lollipop Update Released Today for Sprint Users

Sprint is rolling out the official Android 5.0.1 Lollipop OTA Update for the HTC One M7 smartphone today. Keep an eye on your device or use the ‘System Update’ menu in order to upgrade your device with a brand new OS today.

Android 5.0.1 Lollipop OTA Update has been pushed out today by Sprint and it is one of the biggest upgrades ever for the original HTC One phone. It comes with a whole new Material Design UI that will make the HTC Sense interface much more functional than it ever was.

The official Android 5.0.1 OTA Update roll out has been confirmed by Mo Versi, VP of Product Management at HTC via Twitter. His tweet was posted yesterday, but there are numerous HTC One M7 users confirming that the Android 5.0.1 Lollipop OS Update notification has been already displayed on their devices.

Android 5.0.1 Lollipop comes with Material Design UI, Sense improvements, Lock screen and Notifications improvements that offer better control over your whole device, recent apps multitasking feature tweaks, search function for Settings, fully integrated Android Runtime (ART) that replaces the old Dalvik used for KitKat and older OS version, new Quick Settings toggles and many other functions.

Sprint has released the Android 5.0.1 Lollipop for HTC One M7 and Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphones on the same day. The original HTC One M7 gets this new Lollipop build before the 2nd Gen HTC One M8 on Sprint, which is something that still has to happen for those owners.

If you own an HTC One M7 on Sprint then you should expect the new Android 5.0.1 Lollipop OTA Update to arrive starting today. However, note that this update is being rolled out in phases which mean that not all users are going to receive the new firmware in the same way, but all One M7 users will get it before the end of this month. Remember that these updates are usually released only for HTC One M7 Sprint devices running 100% stock Android firmware. You won’t get the new Lollipop OS in case you’re running a customized ROM on your One M7 phone.
