HTC has announced that it will incorporate the new Android Nougat (N) in its HTC 10, HTC One A9 and HTC One M9 device.

On its official Twitter account, HTC posted a tweet promising an upgrade for the current HTC 10 flagship devices shortly after Google announced that Android N would be officially called Android Nougat.

Google has not yet announced when it will launch officially the Android Nougat. As a result, the Taiwanese smartphone maker did not mention any specific date as when these three smartphones would receive the OS update.

HTC is known as one of the faster OEMs when it comes to releasing updates for their smartphones.

The HTC One A9 was launched with the Android 6.0 Marshmallow on board, when only a few smartphones outside of Google's Nexus series were using it. The One A9 is a smartphone that is designed for the sub-premium segment of the market. The One M9 was launched with Android 5.1 Lollipop and HTC later updated to Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

HTC also said that its would announce more devices that will receive the update once Google makes Android N available to OEMs. HTC has only confirmed the three devices for now.

Android Nougat will feature interface changes, which can mostly be seen on the lock screen, notification shade and settings. Additional features include Multi Window. Although there is no official announcement of the release date, it is expected to be launched in the third quarter of the year.
