HTC One Unlocked and Developer Edition devices receiving Android 4.4 KitKat update

Do you have Unlocked or Developer Edition of HTC One? Then it’s time to check for updates on your device, as HTC has started rolling out Android 4.4 KitKat update to Developer and Unlocked editions of HTC One in the United States.

It seems HTC is doing a great job on pushing updates for HTC One as both the Google Play Edition of HTC One and the Developer/Unlocked Edition ( with Sense UI ) started receiving the KitKat update within one month of its launch. This roll-out is exclusive to devices in the US, and we hope it comes to devices in other markets soon.

Custom ROMs based on Android 4.4 for other variants of HTC One are now in the works. You can find screenshots here.
