Taipei: It seems like HTC is eyeing to launch HTC Sense 6.0 and Android 4.4 KitKat for its flagship smartphone HTC One.
HTC confirmed on its Twitter feed that US-based HTC One owners can expect the Android 4.4 KitKat update to land within the next week, which means it can’t be too far off the rest of the world.
The tweet in question reads: “We’re getting close. Final KitKat software has entered carrier labs for final testing, and we expect certification next week.”
This is hardly a surprise, as HTC had revealed it planned to get the KitKat update out to One handsets in February so it looks like the manufacturer is bang on schedule.
With the HTC M8 the successor to the One hotly tipped for an arrival in the next couple of months sporting both Android 4.4 KitKat and the new Sense 6.0 UI, questions are being raised over whether its predecessor will also get the new version of Sense.
Apparently Sense 6.0 is due to land on the HTC One during summer or autumn of 2014 – that’s if you believe the leaked software update plans posted by @LlabTooFeR while older handsets such as the One X, One X+ and One S will miss out on all the goodies.
We have pressed HTC for more information on the various software updates planned for the one, and we’ll update this article once we hear back.
