HTC 8XT To Receive WP8.1 Update By End Of The Year

While a good many Windows Phone handsets have begun to receive or have received the Windows Phone 8.1 update, there are still devices out there that have yet to receive it, like the Sprint-exclusive HTC 8XT. Well if you’re the owner of the HTC 8XT and are wondering if and when the update will arrive, you won’t have to wait much longer.

In a tweet by HTC in response to a question from one of their customers, HTC revealed that the Windows Phone 8.1 update is expected to make its way onto the HTC 8XT by the end of the year. According to HTC, “We’re planning to push the update out this month. Stay tuned here for the latest news on updates for our devices.”

No specific dates were mentioned but considering that we are already in our first week of December, hopefully we won’t have to wait much longer to get our hands on the update. The update is expected to introduce the same new features that other users have been enjoying all this while.

This includes folder support, backgrounds on the start screen, access to Cortana, VPN, action and notification centers, and more. In any case we’ll keep our eyes peeled for more information regarding the update’s availability, so check back with us at a later date for the details.
