We know that HTC is supposed to pushed out Android 5.0 Lollipop to its flagship smartphones soon, but what about all the other devices in its lineup? Phone Probe directs our attention to a new leak from Vietnamese blog HTCViet that purportedly reveals the timeline for when every eligible HTC smartphone will get Google’s latest mobile platform.

The best news for people who bought either of the last two flagship HTC phones — the HTC One (M8) and the HTC One (M7) — is that both of them are apparently still on track to get the Lollipop upgrade in the first quarter of 2015. Given how we’ve seen a lot of leaks lately about Lollipop on the One (M8), we’d guess that it’s official launch is pretty close and shouldn’t take until the end of the quarter.

However, as great as those two phones are, they aren’t the only ones that HTC has released over the past two years. The leak reveals that the HTC One E8, Desire EYE, One M8 EYE and Butterfly 2, for instance, are set to get the Lollipop upgrade in the second quarter this year.
