HTC 8X is not getting Windows 10 Mobile

Beginning its journey as a flagship for Windows Phone 8, the HTC 8X is now over three years old. Nevertheless, some users have been waiting for an official statement from the company, whether or not the 8X will be getting Windows 10 Mobile.

HTC has announced, via its official Twitter account, that the 8X will not get any further updates. The phone has received, over its life cycle, a couple of major updates of Windows Phone, including an upgrade from 8.0 to 8.1. The confirmation that the HTC 8X will be out of the HTC’s Windows 10 line-up means that only one HTC-branded phone will be upgraded to the latest OS.

HTC One M8 for Windows is already part of the Windows Insider program, so you can install and test preview builds of Windows 10 mobile on your HTC. The Taiwanese company is also believed to be working on a new smartphone running Windows 10, but we are yet to hear specific details about this handset.
