Ice Cream Sandwich rolling out to HTC EVO 3D and EVO Design 4G

We have some tasty frozen treat news for the folks rocking EVO’s this afternoon. It looks like HTC has finally made their way through the device chain, and is now upgrading multiple EVO’s to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. You won’t get Sense UI 4.0 like the HTC One line of phones, but the upgrade should still be rather exciting.

Earlier today the HTC EVO 3D started getting the upgrade to ICS, and now multiple reports have just hit the wires confirming that the EVO Design 4G is also getting the much anticipated update. Thanks to the folks at Android Police the image below will tell you all you need to know about the EVO 3D’s upgrade to ICS.

Both devices will not be seeing HTC Sense UI 4.0, and instead 3.6 will grace your phones instead. HTC has reserved their latest 4.0 UI for the One branded phones. The update will bring everything we know and love about Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich to both devices. Some of those include folders on the homescreen, Face unlock, better browser performance, and an enhanced camera experience.

You can see our HTC Vivid 4G LTE ICS hands-on for more of what to expect from ICS and Sense 3.6 if you’d like. Otherwise just do the usual and head into settings and check for updates right this moment. The update should be live for both devices and users should be seeing notifications to accept the over the air update, or can manually check for updates and get started. You’ll be losing root access here, so proceed with caution if you’re a member of the root crowd.

Once you accept the update let us know how it all goes in the comment section below.
