As this is the Google Play Edition (GPE) everyone was wondering (along with the Samsung Galaxy S4 GPE) if they too would get Android updates as quickly as the Nexus line-up. Now the HTC One has not quite matched that, but it is not far behind at all!
The company has announced that the Android 4.4 KitKat ROM for the smartphone has been full developed and submitted to Google. It's now up to Google to approve the code and start seeding it to the phone itself. It should not take too long, but we don't know just when it is available for the HTC One.

| The HTC One Google Play Edition is getting Google's latest version on Android (Android 4.4 KitKat). |
The HTC One GPE with Android 4.4 KitKat brings Project Svelte performance optimizations, bigger UI icons, removes the widgets from the app drawer and coes with the new Hangouts SMS/MMS/Google Talk's unified hub. There is also the new Email app, new Phone app, with nearby search.
Samsung is yet to announce when the Galaxy S4 GPE will be getting the Android 4.4 KitKat ROM, but we hope it's not too long!
