Are you still waiting for your device to receive the latest Android OS? Ever since Lollipop rolled out Nov. 3, prospects have been eyeing its arrival on their respective handsets, while factory images popped here and there. Flashing these downloads might be the fastest way to get a taste of Lollipop, but the process could be too technical for some. Hence, we've always recommended waiting for official OTA updates.

Carry on, because the odds remain to be in your device's favor, unless Android tells Lollipop won't support it. We've provided the list of units set to receive the 5.0 upgrade below.

HTC

According to HTC Source, the company has committed to roll out Lollipop within 90 days following Google's release of the latest code. As the outlet puts it, HTC's One M8 and One M7 (both Google Play Edition) should have received the upgrade by November or December 2014.
