HTC has confirmed to upgrade at least three of its top of the line handsets — HTC U 11, HTC U Ultra and HTC 10 to Android 8.0 Oreo OTA.
The confirmation came in a response to a US customer's query on Twitter whether "Android Oreo is coming to HTC 10?" To which HTC replied, “We're excited to bring Android Oreo to HTC U11, HTC U Ultra, and HTC 10 owners worldwide!”
