There was, sadly, no word on exactly when the roll out will begin to the HTC 10 and HTC U Ultra smartphones, except that they'll get the update after the U11.
Original story follows:
Following Google's August 21 event that saw the company confirming 'Oreo' moniker for Android 8.0, smartphone companies have started confirming which of their phones will be getting the new release. BlackBerry was first (for the Keyone), and now it's HTC.
The Taiwanese company has confirmed that the HTC 10, U Ultra and U11 smartphones will be getting the Android Oreo update.
We're excited to bring Android Oreo to HTC U11, HTC U Ultra, and HTC 10 owners worldwide! Details & additional devices to be announced soon.

The tweet also confirms a global roll out, so no one will be left behind. However, there was no word on exactly when the update will begin hitting these devices. HTC says details regarding this and other handsets that will be getting Oreo will be announced soon.

You cannot expect getting a timely update on a midrange phone,be happy if you get Oreo at all.And note that HTC is one of the better ones when it comes to updates... just imagine how sad are the Sammy fans in comparison ;)
