HTC One getting Android 4.3 & Sense 5.5 update in EMEA region

HTC has started rolling out Android 4.3 update with new Sense 5.5 UI in some European countries earlier today. At the time of writing this report, the update was live in Nordic countries, Eastern Europe and Russia.

675MB in size, this update brings a host of changes to HTC One and is quite different in comparison to the Android 4.3 version released in US and Taiwan markets.

This update will be first released to unlocked HTC One units in European and Asian countries, where no Android 4.3 update has been rolled-out until now. Thereafter, HTC will be bringing Sense 5.5 UI update separately to the countries, which have already got Android 4.3 with Sense 5.0.
