Grab a fork; the HTC U12+ is finally getting Android 9 Pie in the states

Those in the U.S. with the HTC U12+, sit down at a table with a fork in your hand and a hearty appetite; you’re finally being served a heaping helping of pie. Android 9 Pie, that is. According to a tweet from someone named Agent 37 (via Android Police), the update to what for now is the current stable version of the Android operating system is rolling out to stateside owners of the HTC U12+. Of course, we can’t call this a timely move on HTC’s part considering that the handset was released in June of 2018 with Android 8 Oreo installed. And right now, members of the Android Q beta program are rockin’ the sixth and final beta version of the next Android build.
The Taiwan based manufacturer was responsible for the first Android-powered device, known in the states as the T-Mobile G1. It also produced the Nexus One for Google back in 2010. After releasing the stunning HTC One (M7) in 2013 and the even sleeker HTC One (M8) the following year, HTC has fallen on tough times and red ink is flowing like wine. Back in June, it unveiled two new models, the HTC U19e and the HTC Desire 19+. However, neither model is expected to be sold in the states.
