HTC can be said to be the fastest manufacturer to make the Android 5.0 upgrade commitment. HTC had promised to complete the upgrade within 90 days after the official launch of Android 5.0. After a short ticket jump, the single card version of BOC was finally updated. So let's see how HTC performs the dance of Android 5.0 and Sense.
Although HTC was the first to make an upgrade commitment and said that it would upgrade within 90 days after the official release of Android 5.0, there was still a short jump. As far as the ticket jump was concerned, it was really nothing, and it was less than a week late. However, as far as the upgrade speed is concerned, it is not as fast as Samsung and LG. From the experience, it seems that Android 5.0 is not pure enough.
This experience uses the HTC One M 8 mobile customized version of the single card version, which may differ from the international version and the dual card version in terms of functions. After the upgrade, the Android version is 5.0.1, the Sense version is 6.0, and the internal version number is 4.19.1400.5.
In fact, for HTC models, the performance of system upgrades in visual effects is not much, and its own HTC Sense has long been famous. The rumored HTC Sense 7.0 has not yet appeared. HTC has said that it will provide special UI for Chinese consumers, and the layout is quite incomprehensible.
Back to HTC One M8, after upgrading Android 5.0, the icon of the lock screen interface has changed to a certain extent, and the status bar is more integrated, and the overall visual effect is more integrated.
The dropdown bar is the most visible part of Android 5.0 in this update. The updated HTC One M8 directly uses the drop down bar design of native Android 5.0, integrating notification and shortcut switches. The shortcut switch has simple changes on the icon, but not many changes. What I complain about is that the multi-user function added after the LG G3 upgrade has flown in without wings on the HTC One M8.
There are no changes to the launcher desktop. The background task manager interface has the same design as Android 5.0, but it does not include the function of one click clearing.
Entering the setting menu has no obvious difference from the previous one.
In terms of built-in applications, the interface and functions are basically unchanged, but the color of the drop-down bar is also more consistent.
Each version after upgrading. Android 5.0 is already the default ART running mode, so there are no switchable options among developer options. In addition, there is still a high performance mode option on HTC One M8. What I complain about is that HTC castrated the egg game in Android 5.0, although it is not a big deal.
It is designed for Android 5.0 during application installation.
After updating Android 5.0, Anthare V5.6.1 scored 46638, which is the standard level of Snapdragon 801. After the upgrade, the GPU driver is also upgraded to V84, which is the same as the current Snapdragon 805 model.
In fact, the smoothness of use has always been the advantage of HTC One M8. After upgrading to Android 5.0, it is even more powerful, and the use is very smooth.
In terms of memory usage, the performance was good this time. HTC One M8 has 2G of memory, and 1.3G of memory can be used after startup, which shows excellent performance. After a period of use, the available memory is 876MB, and the overall performance is still excellent. Of course, the above is based on its 2G memory capacity.
As far as the upgrade speed is concerned, HTC is relatively good. Although the ticket has been skipped for a short time, it is finally done. Of course, this HTC One M8 upgrade is not perfect, such as the egg game of Android 5.0 and multi-user account login, and there are not many elements of Android 5.0 in the use process. Of course, in the final analysis, it is because HTC Sense 6.0 is powerful and comprehensive, and can only wait for the update of HTC Sense 7.0.
