This week we were talking about the decision to HTC de do not update the HTC One S a Android 4.2.2 Jellybean, something that in principle if he will do with his brother One X and with other members of the One family such as the XL or the X +, among others. Well, the reaction of users has not been long in coming and an online petition is already underway asking the Taiwanese manufacturer to reconsider its initial position.
La request, which has already exceeded 3.000 supports, has been created by the British Dylan Richards, an owner of the HTC One S who says he feels "very distressed" by the decision of the company based in Taoyuan not to continue supporting a smartphone that, as this disgruntled Leicester neighbor points out, he does not reach 18 months of age.
In the same vein, the promoter of the petition criticizes that HTC "has not given any official explanation" about why the One S will not receive the same update as the HTC One X while highlighting how devices from other brands, such as the Samsung Galaxy S3, if they will be updated to Android 4.2.2 Jellybean.
In his letter to the Taiwanese firm, Richards claims to be "a happy user" of the HTC One S and hints that if the possible reason for the end of support for the model in question is due to not having reached the expected sales figures. In this sense, he advises HTC to partner with more popular operators, who can market the terminal at more affordable prices since, in his opinion, the 430 pounds sterling it costs - 504,50 euros at the current exchange rate - does not correspond to the performance of a mid-range model, at the same time that it invites them to stop competing with Samsung in terms of the number of models they put on sale in the same year and to give priority to customers and users of their smartphones.
With the decision of HTC not to update the HTC One S, the finest model of the Taiwanese firm and manufactured in a single piece of aluminum, not only will it not receive Android 4.2.2 Jellybean, but it will not have other novelties such as HTC Sense. .
