The latest version of Android is now rolling out to the Google Play editions of HTC's One M7 and One M8 - and for the M7, it looks like this will be the last OS update the device will get.

Over five months after Lollipop was first announced, Android 5.0.2 will finally be released for the HTC One M7 on AT&T tomorrow - but it will be the last OS update for the 2013 flagship.
HTC's One M7, the Android flagship that it released in early 2013, will get no further OS updates - with the exception of the Google Play Edition of the handset, which will get Android 5.1 in April.
The wait is over for HTC One M7 users in Europe, those users can now check for updates and upgrade to the latest and greatest Android has to offer, following an official announcement.
Android 5.0 will be released later today for the One M8 on Sprint, and the update is already available for owners of the M8 on T-Mobile, who can get a lick of that Lollipop goodness right now.
HTC is beginning the Lollipop rollout for its One M7 today, starting with Sprint - but the update only bumps the OS up to Android 5.0.1, not the newer 5.0.2 release, or Android 5.1, spotted yesterday.
HTC said in November that it would roll out Android 5.0 to the One M7 and M8 within 90 days - but the company now admits that it will take longer than expected, pinning some of the blame on Google.
The roll out of Android Lollipop has been a rather slow affair, and some devices won't even get the update at all, which is where custom ROM developers have stepped up, for the HTC One M7.
HTC has begun rolling out the Lollipop update to Developer and Unlocked versions of its One M8 flagship, but says that the update is still "going through the certification process" for the One M7.
HTC has revealed when it plans to make the latest Android OS update, version 5.0 Lollipop, available for both its current One (M8) flagship, and for that device's predecessor, the One (M7).
