The Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean software update for the HTC Butterfly is now available, HTC India announced.

The HTC Butterfly was first released in Japan on Dec. 9, 2012 as a successor to the HTC J. The HTC Butterfly soon made its ways to other regions such as China, Russia and other Asian countries. In the U.S., the handset is known as the Droid DNA, which is exclusive to Verizon.

The handset comes pre-loaded with the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system and now Indian customers can enjoy the features of Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.

"Upgrade to the BlinkFeed on your HTC Butterfly! Android 4.2.2 is out now. Announcements for other handsets to come soon," tweeted HTC India.

When the handset was launched, it was the second smartphone in the world to feature a 1080p display, after Oppo's Find 5. It's not even been a year since the HTC Butterfly launched and many customers using the handset will be pleased to get a software update on the device.

The HTC Butterfly sports decent features in its category. The handset has a 5-inch Super LCD 3 display with a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution at 441 pixels per inch (ppi). A quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor clocked at 1.5 GHz powers the device.

The smartphone is equipped with an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with LED and Auto Focus. The device also includes a 2.1-megapixel front-facing shooter. The HTC Butterfly includes 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, and a powerful 2,020 mAh battery.

The latest software update will bring enhancements, new features and bug fixes to the HTC Butterfly.

Previously, HTC Butterfly in Taiwan received the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean software update, leaving users in other regions eagerly waiting for the software to roll out. Verizon recently confirmed that the HTC Droid DNA will receive Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and HTC Sense 5.0 software update but the carrier has not confirmed an exact release date.

If you have a HTC Butterfly in India, have you received the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean software update?

Canadian carrier TELUS confirmed that the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update for its HTC One will arrive in September end.

Google launched its Android 4.3 Jelly Bean operating system in July this year and only a handful of devices, including Nexus smartphones and tablets, are running on the latest Jelly Bean flavor.

"According to TELUS' 'Upcoming software updates schedule' the all-aluminum beauty is expected to shed the older version of Jelly Bean in favour of OS 4.3. TELUS states that testing is currently in progress and we can expect it to be available for download sometime 'Late-September' - basically any day now," reports Mobile Syrup.

Some select international variants of the HTC One received the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean software update, but customers on individual carriers are still waiting to get a firmware update on their handsets.

Previously, HTC President Jason Mackenzie tweeted that HTC One Developer Edition will skip Android 4.2 Jelly Bean update and will get the Android 4.3 update instead. Mackenzie also confirmed in a tweet that all HTC One and Droid DNA handsets in the U.S. and Canada will also get Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

"Lots of questions re 4.3 release for One. We r wrking hard (needs cert) to release 4.3 across all US, Canada skus by end Sept. DNA as well," tweeted Mackenzie about a month ago.

Even though Android 4.2 Jelly Bean was launched in the second half of 2012, the HTC One (released in April this year) comes pre-loaded with the Android 4.1 version of the operating system. This prompted questions as to why the handset didn't come with the then-latest Jelly Bean and why it didn't receive a software update to Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean in all regions.

However, Mackenzie also tweeted back in August that because Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean is a minor update and offered customers only limited benefits, HTC One smartphones will receive Android 4.3 Jelly Bean instead.   

As TELUS has confirmed the release of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean for its HTC One, we hope that other carriers in Canada (as well as in the U.S.) confirm the release of the latest Jelly Bean flavor for their versions of the HTC One.
