HTC has already brought Android 5.0 Lollipop to One M7 handsets on Sprint, and now models that aren’t shackled to a carrier are getting a taste of the sweet stuff.

The Taiwanese company has confirmed that the software, which also makes improvements to HTC’s own Sense user interface, is now reaching Unlocked and Developer Edition devices over-the-air.

The Galaxy S5 isn’t the only handset on Sprint that’ll be getting a Lollipop update today. HTC has confirmed that its latest Android 5.0.1 software is also coming to One M7 handsets connected to Sprint, complete with improvements to the Sense user interface.
