Earlier this week, HTC USA confirmed that AT&T and T-Mobile HTC One will get the Android 4.3 update by mid-October. It seems that it might be true. HTC USA President Jason Mackenzie has confirmed via Twitter that AT&T HTC One Android 4.3 update has passed certification and will be rolled out early next week. He didn’t mention any exact release date, but we hope that it will be rolled out in the first half of next week.
HTC One Android 4.3 Update for Canadian Users
Earlier this week, HTC One Android 4.3 update was rolled out for Canadian users as well as the unlocked version of the handset. This update brought a range of new features and improvements, including enhanced performance, better battery life, and new user interface tweaks. Canadian users have reported a smoother experience and fewer bugs, making the update a welcome change.
Updates for Other Carriers
Sprint HTC One owners also got the Android 4.3 update this week, with the confirmation that T-Mobile and Verizon will get the taste of Android 4.3 by the end of this month. This is a significant step as it shows HTC’s commitment to keeping their devices up-to-date across various carriers. The update is expected to bring similar improvements to those seen in the Canadian and Sprint versions, including better multitasking capabilities and enhanced security features.

There is no news about the certification for these two carriers, but we hope that the folks at HTC will fulfill their promise and release the update for these T-Mobile and Verizon as well. The delay in certification could be due to the rigorous testing processes that each carrier employs to ensure that the update does not interfere with their network services.
The Android 4.3 update is a significant milestone for HTC One users. It includes several new features such as Bluetooth Smart support, OpenGL ES 3.0 support for better graphics, and a new camera app with improved functionality. Additionally, the update brings a host of bug fixes and performance improvements that enhance the overall user experience.
For those who are not familiar, Bluetooth Smart, also known as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), is a power-efficient version of Bluetooth that allows devices to communicate with each other while consuming less power. This is particularly useful for wearable devices and other gadgets that rely on Bluetooth connectivity.
OpenGL ES 3.0 support means that the HTC One can now handle more complex graphics and visual effects, making games and other graphic-intensive applications run more smoothly and look better. This is a significant improvement for users who enjoy gaming or using graphic design apps on their phones.
The new camera app included in the update offers better performance and more features, such as improved low-light performance and faster focusing. This makes the HTC One an even more attractive option for photography enthusiasts.
The Android 4.3 update for the HTC One is a comprehensive upgrade that brings a range of new features and improvements. While the exact release dates for T-Mobile and Verizon are still uncertain, the updates for AT&T and Sprint users are a positive sign. HTC’s commitment to rolling out these updates across various carriers demonstrates their dedication to providing a consistent and high-quality user experience. We look forward to seeing these updates implemented and hearing feedback from users on the improvements they bring.
