It is the end of the line for HTC's one-time flagship, the HTC One X+. On Monday, we found out that this model will not be updated past Android 4.2.2. Which means that when AT&T pushes out the update this week as expected, it will be the end of the line for the model. Luckily for HTC One X+ owners, they will be getting Sense 5 with the update, which means they will be receiving BlinkFeed, the visual social and news feed reader. Also along for the rise is the Video Highlights feature, which makes a highlight video from your pictures and videos. You can even add background music and use filters.
Other changes will be coming to the camera interface, calendar, people and music apps. We know the update is coming this week thanks to a tweet from @moversi, who is the Executive Director, Product Management at HTC. The tweet notes that the Android 4.2.2. update has finally received technical acceptance from the carrier.
If you are an AT&T customer with the HTC One X+, keep an eye out for the OTA update. Sense 5 will make it feel like you own a brand new phone.
