In case of Sense 5.5 for US version, LlabTooFer believes that it will be released in the future after the launch of the alleged HTC T6 aka One Max, which is expected hit the shelves in the fourth quarter.
Anyway all current devices (HTC One, One mini, Butterfly S) will get 5.5 at some point after release of HTC T6.
