The Android 4.3, JellyBean update is now available for the HTC One mini. The update brings Sense 5.5 to the device once it is installed. It is 630MB, which is quite large for a normal software upgrade, and it also comes with great tweaks and features not normally found on an Android 4.3 update.

New improvements have been brought to the Video Highlights section, a Blinkfeed Section has been added, and users will now have the ability to add sound tracks to videos. It also brings enhancements to the music interface.

The update is currently rolling out in segments to HTC One mini users.. Those that do not receive the notification to update automatically could check their Settings menu to manually perform it.

The HTC One mini launched earlier this year and features impressive specs including an aluminum body, a 4.3-inch Super LCD 2 HD 720p display, a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 dual-core 1.4GHz processor, and HTC's UltraPixel Camera with backside illuminated sensor that captures 300 percent more light than traditional smartphone sensors.

This allows users to take better photos in low light and bright light.

"The HTC One mini is pocket-friendly but packed with large experiences- an HD screen, our breakthrough UltraPixel camera, a homescreen with customized feeds from news networks including Instragram, and huge sound from its front-facing stereo speakers," said Jason Mackenzie president of HTC North America.

The HTC mini also comes with the company's own Blinkfeed, Zoe and BoomSound features.

Blinkfeed puts all of the user's favorite content onto their homepage in a special feed so it is extremely easy for them to access.

The ultrapixel camera will have features such as HTC Zoe and Video Highlights. HTC Zoe allows the owner to create three-second videos and Video Highlights automatically films 30-second shows from footage and pictures a user takes.
