How to determine if my phone supports AndroidOne?

Question

The HTC U11 Life got my attention when I saw androidone printed on its back. Now I got one, but this one doesn't have the androidone print on its back. Are there two versions of the phone, one to support androidone and another that doesn't?



Is there a setting I can check that would clearly tell me whether my phone supports androidone or not?



It came with Android 8.0.0 and it says there are no Software updates available...



Update: According to the HTC website there are indeed two versions of the phone: one such and another with a (T-Mobile) suffix. Upon booting the phone there is a T-Mobile screen, thus it looks like I’ve got the T-Mobile version. The question remains though: is this version of the phone not part of the android one program?

Answer

There is indeed a variant of the HTC U11 Life that does not have the Android One branding:




the American variant of the same phone does not have the Android One branding




The answer to my question should therefore be: if it isn't labeled androidone on the rear, it's not in the Android One program.



I will generously assume that the vendor, who marketed the phone with Android One, was also confused by the HTC marketing strategy for this phone. They can take it back though.
