The theme of Android 4.4 update is on everyone’s lips. No wonder then that many smartphone owners ask when their smartphone gets the coveted update to KitKat. First is an overview of the Android 4.4 update situation before the manufacturer HTC. We also take a look at the overall situation on the topic and look at how it looks at Samsung and other manufacturers.
U fibers that follow the theme of Android 4.4, it has to happen as a half, ever-then pulling eternity, as the end of October with the Google Nexus Android 5 4.4 KitKat introduced. Sometimes one will be a little sour and wonder wonder why only a handful of devices away from the Nexus family is using the latest OS: Google Editions from HTC One and Galaxy S4, the Moto X and the Moto G. Samsung works with high operating in the transformations for the regular Galaxy S4 and for the third grade In South Korea, is a LG G2 Android 4.4 Update available since the end of December, but that can wait until the end of February / March in Europe and is powerful rebuilt. Also, Sony was at least as regards its flagship smartphone at least brought diligently on pottering and had a massive operation for a large majority of its smartphones to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean . How it looks on the other hand from at HTC?
HTC Smartphones & Updates
Most recently, the ailing manufacturers from Taiwan in the headlines when it was announced that former flagships like HTC X any updates receive more. The famous developer LlabTooFeR recently published on his blog a corresponding infographic for HTC update supply, which also makes some speculative statements makes sense regarding upcoming updates. Specifically, this one should therefore enjoy a certain degree of caution, even if the maximum ROM makers can basically view as a reliable source.
So it stands to some updates, however, suggest articles like this one in a distorted picture. Quite so fast it will not work, especially not in this country, where recent update generally a little on it because it Manufacturers problems with the updates in such a large and fragmented market like Germany can not afford. And if it goes wrong, the outcry like the Samsung Galaxy S3 Update is huge and unjustified, but that’s another story.
| Android 4.4.2 with Sense 6.0 | HTC One (from summer / autumn in the USA) | no update planned | no update planned | no update planned |
| Android 4.4.2 with Sense 5.5 | HTC One (from February in the U.S.) | HTC One Max (from mid-February in the U.S.) | HTC One Mini (from mid-February in the U.S.) | HTC Butterfly (March-April in the U.S.) |
| Android 4.3 with Sense 4.3 | HTC One (already available) | HTC One Max (already available) |
(already available)
HTC Butterfly(already available)
Android 4.4 – good / bad things come, to those who wait
!
If you look closely, the recent updates turn out a little as bluff: Google Editions have a bare OS without adjustments Moto X and G Moto updates are only slightly modified variations of the original which may not be surprising the American tradition manufacturer is located firmly in the hands of the search engines Gigantens. In the leaks for the Galaxy S4 and score 3 Samsung is positively formulated proceeded very conservative and has hardly made any changes to the OS. A little look-polish, that’s it. I would caution at this point but against excessive polemics and paranoia: “ Sit down back, eat ‘a cookie. Everything will be fine. “
fasting KitKat considered in itself is a nice update, but no revelation that turns my phone from one day to another in a jack of all trades.
So I can wait and I am happy when Samsung, HTC and Co lend a hand and get the update as an opportunity, their surfaces (EmotionUI, TouchWiz, HTC Sense) to bring up to scratch. It is much more important in my view that as many smartphones and tablets are at least heaved Android 4.3 Jelly Bean . Regarding performance, the native features and taking into account the security aspect this would be a desirable state. Unfortunately contrast bob still far too many – even current smartphones – on Android 4.1 or 4.2 around: outdated, sluggish and a brake pad that is to us too often tempted to buy the latest smartphone from the product portfolio
.
said on German are the middling prospects for owners of current smartphones: the HTC one only gets Android KitKat and the current sense surface. Both will otherwise be only 2014er with smartphones like the HTC One + / One2. After all, the HTC Max One, HTC One Mini and HTC Butterfly be hoisted on Android 4.4.2 with Sense 5.5. In addition to the incidentally also u.U. get the HTC Desire Android 4.3 601. The firmware should be in test mode. After all, the basic supply of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean on some current smartphones is guaranteed.
