"HTC One GE will get 4.4.1 (KOT49E) in near future," they tweeted.
Android 4.4.1 KitKat will most likely feature bug fixes and other improvements that will help the software to perform smoother on handsets.
The Nexus 5, Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 are all running Android 4.4 KitKat at this time. The software rolled out to the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 recently and was introduced on the Nexus 5 smartphone last month.
It was created to work on lower-end models and is expected to bring most Android users up to speed having them all running the same build on their smartphones and tablets. The previous iteration, Android 4.3, JellyBean is still being rolled out to various devices in order to prepare them for KitKat. Smartphones such as the Galaxy S4 and HTC One are currently running 4.3 and should be updating to 4.4 in the beginning of next year.
