HTC One to get Android KitKat upgrade

HTC's flagship One will receive an update to Android 4.4 KitKat in January, complete with an update to HTC's custom Sense 5.5 overlay. 

Speaking to CNET, HTC also confirmed that owners of the Google Play edition of the One will be able to upgrade their handsets from the end of November, and Google Play edition S4 owners are also expected to join the early upgrade party.

There is however no word on exact dates for regular Samsung Galaxy S4, Note 3 or LG G2 owners to look forward to for the time being.

Neither Samsung or LG could give us any solid information when we asked them about KitKat update release dates, but we'll keep you posted as always.

Of course none of this will matter to Nexus 5 owners, who are already smugly enjoying all the treats that Android 4.4 KitKat has to offer…
