The HTC One running on Sprint’s network in the US has started receiving the Android 4.3 update from today onwards. And in India, the One X+ has been selected as the next device that will be bumped up to Android 4.2.2 after gadgets like the HTC Butterfly and One X welcomed the OTA upgrade.
Jason Mackenzie, the President of HTC America had tweeted earlier today that the update has started rolling out for Sprint’s version of the One. T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and AT&T are the other carriers who are currently selling the phone stateside, but he refrained from mentioning anything about the arrival of the OTA update on these service providers’ devices. We do not think it will take very long and the Android 4.3 update should be beamed on the said variants very soon.
The official Sprint website informs its customers about the improvements that the update tags along. Apart from fixing various bugs, the software does away with Swype’s problem of not entering spaces in Exchange email. Sprint Zone, Visual Voicemail and other such applications have been updated and customers will notice improvements in HTC Sense as well.
As for the Android 4.2.2 update for the One X+ in India, it drags along HTC Sense 5.0 as well as a number of other enhancements for its battery and camera. HTC BlinkFeed, automatic video highlights and a new gallery are just some of the many features that have come to the HTC phone.
The Android 4.3 update for the Sprint HTC One in the US and the Android 4.2.2 update for the HTC One X+ in India have already been rolled out.
