In his extensive graphic HTC clearly explains why this is so. While the graphics for network operators versions of the same smartphone lists 12 steps per update, it is for developers and Google Edition only 9 and 8 steps. Exact agreements with network operators, which should be integrated exactly to network operators software into the new operating system version and a corresponding adjustment to the version code omitted for a Google Edition, the manufacturer shall not modify the code.
