No, you won’t get this gift in time for tmas, but perhaps seeing an HTC One running llipop may make the wait slightly less painful.

A batch of videos screenshots show HTC’s flagship with the newest build of Android, though of course it’s merged with the Sense 6.0 user interface (the HTC One currently runs Sense 5.0). got a small hint of how llipop looks on the One in November, but this leak lays out what the entire operating system makeover looks in clearer detail.

For example, the lock screen notifications multitasking cards match exactly as has outlined in its vision for llipop, a win for Android purists.

However, much of the interface is still more Sense than Material Design. The font choices are consistent with previous versions of HTC’s interface, the overall color scheme favors grays, blacks, green highlights. llipop, by comparison, uses a white background in the app drawer, notifications, in other elements.

The videos also show HTC’s own web browser, camera, texting apps set as the default choices from the app launcher. The on-screen navigation buttons are the same as what you get in Sense 5.0, instead of the new circle, square, triangle uses with llipop.

The impact on you: Unless you have a Nexus device, you usually have to wait around a while to get upgraded to the newest version of Android. HTC is better than most when it comes to updating its phones, promising to do so 90 days after a new update to Android goes live. ’re about a month into this release, so expect some llipop love early in the new year if you have an HTC One.
