When the Google Play Editions of the
HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4
came out everyone was wondering if
those two will get future Android
revisions as quickly as the Nexus
lineup. Now obviously they didn’t
quite match the speed of the Google
purebreds, but it appears that the
HTC One GPE won’t be too far
behind either.
The company has officially
announced that the Android 4.4
KitKat ROM for the smartphone has
been fully developed and submitted
to Google. It’s now up to the search
giant to approve the code and start
seeding it to the actual
smartphones. It certainly shouldn’t
take too long, although we haven’t
been given a specific time frame.
Android 4.4 KitKat brings Project
Svelte performance optimizations,
bigger UI icons, removes the widgets
from the app drawer and comes with
the new Hangouts SMS/MMS/Gtalks
unified hub. There’s also the new
Email app, new Phone app with
nearby search that should be
coming to the HTC One GPE.
Samsung is yet to announce when
the Galaxy S4 GPE gets the Android
4.4 KitKat treatment, but we are
hoping the Koreans won’t take too
long to release the update.
Good news, we've delivered KitKat
code to Google for HTC One GPE.
Timing of push via PlayStore to be
determined by Google.
