HTC One M8 To Receive Android 4.4.3 KitKat Update Starting Next Week

While Google has already rolled out the second maintenance update for Android Kitkat 4.4.4 running Nexus 5 smartphone, Taiwan-based smartphone maker HTC has just announced that the KitKat v4.4.3 would roll out for the international variant of the One M8 "late next week."

The news come from a tweet by HTC's Vice President of Management, Mo Versi as shown below. Versi further added that the version 4.4.3 update would include security fixes from the Android 4.4.4 version, which is again good news. However, it leads to just one conclusion, that the company might skip the Android 4.4.4 update for the device and move straight to the Android L-release.

It should be noted that the update is limited to the international unlocked version of the phone, as well as its developer edition. In the US, the carrier versions of the phone for AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon will also receive the update. Sprint users have been lucky and are already rocking Android 4.4.3 on their One (M8).
