— Leigh Momii (@jetleigh) July 24, 2014The update was already available for HTC One (M8) users on telecom operator Sprint in the US. The update contains nothing notable besides performance and bug fixes. The sze of the update is around 592MB, so it is recommended to use a Wi-Fi connection to update the phone.
The HTC One (M8) was launched running Android 4.4.2 KitKat. It offers a 5-inch full HD display with a pixel density of 441ppi. It is powered by a quad-core 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801 processor, paired with 2GB of RAM. It offers a twin 4MP UltraPixel camera setup at the back. It has 16GB of internal storage, which you can expand further up to 128GB using a microSD card. Its other features include a 5MP front camera, a 2,600mAh battery and the usual connectivity features.
HTC recently released the plastic-clad cousin of the M8, the One (E8) in India. The company also announced that it would be releasing a software update for the HTC One (M8) in India on August 15th, which will enable 4G LTE support for the phone.
