The Android 4.4.2 KitKat update for the HTC One Mini from the Taiwanese company HTC is now available. At the moment it is an update that has only landed in the United States, but in the coming days all other users should begin to receive this important update of the Android operating system on their terminals. Recall that the older brother of this terminal, the HTC One, has also recently been updated to the most recent version of Google's operating system.
The news that this update brings with it are quite extensive, and luckily the American company in charge of launching the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update for the HTC One Mini has revealed a complete list of all the changes that users will find when updating their terminal. Regarding the interface, the most notable changes reside in the notification bar and in the mobile lock screen (more specifically, now the lock screen incorporates a direct access to the camera application). Also, applications such as the Mail application or the Clock applicationthey have undergone small touches that modernize their appearance. Likewise, the update brings with it the Sense 5.5 interface (the interface that characterizes the appearance of the operating system of HTC mobiles) and the BlinkFeed widget.
Leaving aside the visual novelties of the update, where the changes of Android 4.4.2 KitKat are really appreciated is in the operation of the HTC One Mini. Now incoming calls from unknown numbers will not be shown only with the number of the person calling us, but the terminal will automatically search for a match of said number with the businesses listed on Google Maps. Thus, if, for example, we receive a call from a local business, we can know who is calling us before picking up the phone.
If we are fans of listening to music from our mobile, now we can control the playback of songs from the lock screen. A small widget will allow us both to jump from one song to another and to pause the music playback, all without having to unlock the screen.
It is also worth highlighting other small details such as for example a new copy-paste mode that will allow us to share directly on social networks in the content we have selected. We can even Google the results of the text selection that we have made.
Remember that the update is not available internationally at the moment, so we must wait patiently until we receive it on our HTC One Mini. As soon as the update is available in our country, a message will automatically appear in the notification bar informing us that the update is now ready for download and later installation.
