HTC One (M8) units on TELUS and Rogers finally getting Lollipop OS update

The Android Lollipop OS 5.0.1 is finally coming to Canadian HTC One (M8) owners. The update weighs in at around 500 mb and brings various changes to the flagship phone bringing impreoved performance, the Material Design UI updates as well as expected tweaks to HTC's Sense UI and various apps and features. 

Android's Lollipop OS has been one of the slowest and most convoluted rollouts ( older Nexus Devices like the Nexus 7 2013 haven't even received it yet), so it is good to see great hardware like the HTC One (M8) get the latest, greatest software. The update is available via an OTA update on TELUS and Rogers devices.

Samsung's anticipated curved phablet, the Galaxy Note Edge, is finally coming to Canada on February 18, pre-orders are available starting today. We know that Rogers will definitely be carrying the Note Edge as it prepares to showcase its recently launched CAT6 network which combines the AWS and 2600 MHz spectrum to increase speeds. The Note Edge is the first device in Canada that can take advantage of these faster network speeds.

Revealed last year, the  Note Edge sets itself apart from the multitude of phablets through its curved screen that runs along the right side of the device. This was designed to deliver access to email, Internet, apps, notifications, news without interrupting the content on the main screen. Its a novel concept that should add excitement to an already popular line of devices. As for pricing, Rogers has the device available for preorder starting at $399 for two-year plans.
