The HTC One software update with sense 6 is now rolling out for AT&T customers.

AT&T is the last major carrier to receive it as T-Mobile, Verizon and Sprint brought the new software to the handsets during the past few weeks. It has also hit Canada and most of Europe.

The update was first promised during the unveiling of the M8 and HTC started rolling it out in certain regions last month. Now it seems that users in most markets can download the software which brings the smartphone up to date with the M8.

The update version is listed under 5.11.661.8 and it weighs in at 668 MB. There are a few small adjustments with it including the addition of a better theme/font support, Extreme Power mode and more. The camera app will also be updated to the latest version.

The new camera app is sleeker and easier to understand than the older version. It also offers new features such as Image Match that helps users find similar photos faster and supports for Point of Interest locations in map view.

The HTC One M8 launched earlier this year. Specs and Sense 6.0 were all revealed at special unveiling event in New York City in March.

The company's CEO Peter Chou started off the event by discussing the success of the original HTC One M7 and commented on the strategy used to create the latest version.

"People are still saying the HTC One is the best, most beautiful smartphone," said Chou.

The device features a refined version of the all metal design found on the original One.

Other specs on the HTC One M8 include a 5-megapixel front facing shooter for video chatting and selfies that can be accessed with a swipe, a Snapdragon 801 chipset, an improved version of HTC Zoe, and a 5-inch 440 ppi display.
