HTC One starts getting Android 4.3 globally; rollout only for unlocked versions

After various confirmations via Twitter, HTC has
started rolling out the Android 4.3 update to HTC
One users globally. This update will be available
on units that are unlocked and not tied in with
any specific mobile service provider. The update
weighs a rather hefty 560+ MB, and we would
suggest using a good Wi-Fi connection for
downloading this.
(Read earlier reports here ).
The changelog for this update mentions that the
camera low-light performance will be enhanced,
and system stability will be improved.
Additionally, the HTC One will get a battery
charging percentage indicator, improved gallery,
more Video Highlights options and the ability to
add custom soundtracks to the highlights.
HTC seems to be fairly aggressive with the OS
updates this time around, with this rollout
happening less than two months after the Nexus
devices got this OS. While two months is still a
long time, it is still lesser than what a lot of other
smartphone manufacturers are achieving, even for
their flagship Android devices.
Once the Android 4.3 update is done with, HTC
One owners can then proceed to being
preoccupied with the possible Android Kit-Kat
update
The update for the unlocked HTC One smartphone
is happening region by region, and in case your
phone hasn’t received the update notification just
yet, there is no need to panic.
