There are plenty of rumors to sort through online, but the easiest way to do so is to just keep an eye on those that are surrounding the current device that you have. For those of you that have the HTC One, you are going to want to check out the latest involving the Sense 5.5 update for the smartphone, which could be coming next month. Some regions will be seeing the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update around the same time and it is then that the Sense 5.5 update is supposed to arrive.
The HTC One 4G is available for a reduced sale price now starting at $49$0.01 – $549.00.
The reason the rumor has popped up has to do with the potential release of the HTC One Max this month. The HTC One Max is the 6-inch version of the HTC One and it has been reported that it will arrive with the Sense 5.5 update and if that is the case, the user interface update will also be ready to go for other devices. The rumor is coming from a well known leaker of HTC related information and he indicated that Europe will be getting updated to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean next month, but having to wait so long for the update is a good thing here, as the Sense 5.5 is reportedly coming with it.
A few weeks ago, HTC started getting the HTC One updated to the latest version of the Android operating system in Taiwan and shortly after that it was released here in the United States on mobile carriers like Sprint and AT&T. HTC has not confirmed the update for Europe, but it would only make sense if it is already available overseas and now in the United States. The Twitter account that the leaked information came from has a very good track record and has been proven correct many times.
HTC has promised that those with the Droid DNA will see the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and Sense 5 update by the end of the year, but that only came after the company originally promised that it would update with Android 4.3. This just goes to show that plans can change very quickly and the latest rumors are not immune to that happening as well. There is not that much information regarding the Sense 5.5 update for the HTC devices at this time, but since it is not a major update, the fixes might be minor.
