HTC-One-silver-back

Yesterday, HTC officially announced on Twitter that its former flagship smartphone of 2012, the One X+, and its slightly less impressive brethren, the One X, will not be receiving the much-anticipated Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update. That’s right, folks. The handsets will remain on Android 4.2.2 and Sense 5 for the rest of their days. This doesn’t come as a huge surprise, when you consider that these devices only received the 4.2 upgrade in late 2013, around the same time that 4.3 was being pushed out.

Just ten days after the unexpected Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and Sense 5 update for the HTC One X+ in Taiwan, the Happy Telephone Company has now started to roll out exactly the same over-the-air upgrade to all One X devices in Europe.

HTC has pushed out an unexpected over-the-air update to all One X+ devices in Taiwan. The upgrade brings Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and Sense 5 to the handset, effectively turning the device into a low-end version of HTC’s flagship One, complete with all the bells and whistles you would expect; BlinkFeed, Video Highlights, and Notification Toggles.

Facebook has quietly added support for the HTC One, the Samsung Galaxy S4, the Sony Xperia ZL, and other Android smartphones to its new Facebook Home launcher. The update comes after the social network announced it had seen over 1 million downloads of Facebook Home following its launch on April 22.

Despite support for just a small handful of Android smartphones, Facebook Home has already surpassed half a million downloads in just nine days. The new launcher first became available to download through Google Play on April 12, and it appears those with supported devices are keen to try it out.
