But the May-end deadline is for carrier-specific HTC One models in the United States and Canada, Mackenzie noted in further replies. There is no word on when the UI will be made available internationally, but for the US update, the details of the update will be posted on HTC's US software update page.

Reportedly, two other devices - HTC One mini and HTC One Max - will also be receiving the new user interface, but the time frame is still not known.

Notably, the HTC One (M8) comes with Android 4.4.2 KitKat along with a brand new Sense 6 UI on top. The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC coupled with 2GB of RAM and comes with a new duo rear camera setup.

It will be compatible with the LTE band used by Airtel and Reliance Jio for their 4G LTE networks in the country.
