We could also see some images of what would be the interface of HTC Sense 6 with the new version of Android, which seemed a clear indication that Sense 7 would not be available for this date. And this has been confirmed by one of the Android developers with links to HTC, who has published a message on Twiiter in which he assures that the latest flagships will keep Sense 6. other portals that HTC Sense 7 will wait a few more months, surely until mid 2015 (sometime between May and July).
