However, the Android version still remains to be 5.0.2 Lollipop, but the improvements enhance the overall performance and experience of the device.

The update had rolled out in Taiwan a while ago and is now being made available in other markets. HTC is expected to push the update to North American units sometime later this month. Please note that the company is promising to push the update today barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Here’s a list of changes that comes with the new update –

Camera
– Greater auto-exposure balance to improve overexposure, so images look less washed out
– Reduction of noise and blur in low light, so images are clearer and detail is more apparent
– Reduction of yellow/green hue to photos taken in extreme lighting conditions, so colors appear truer to their actual hue

Battery Life
– Reduced power consumption by YouTube and Facebook, so you can stay on these sites longer or know that your battery will last longer if your site use doesn’t change

Heat Management
– Smart charging thermal improvement, which means your phone will stay cooler when it’s being charged
