Those Desire smartphones which are based on MediaTek processors are still under evaluation.

Along with Android 5.0 Lollipop update, the devices will also receive the HTC Eye Experience update, but not all features will be available on older HTC devices, claims report.

In another news, according to Taiwanese media Focus Taiwan, HTC's Chang Chia-lin has confirmed to them that the company will be coming up with its own-branded tablets sometime next year. Another HTC exec on-board has revealed that the market for ultra-cheap tablets are not profitable and that the importance of 7-inch tablets is now blurred out due to extra-large smartphones. 

This indicates that the upcoming HTC's own-branded tablet won't be cheap and would rather be a mid-end or high-end one with screen size of more than 7-inches. Expect to here more about HTC-branded tablet in the coming months. (via)
