AT&T's HTC One Mini Is Finally Getting The 550MB Sense 6 OTA

The HTC One Mini might not have had the high-end specs of its big brother, but it was still a stylish little phone. The AT&T variant has been a little behind on the updates, as carrier phones often are, but today that changes—the Sense 6 OTA for the One Mini on AT&T is rolling out.

AT&T's support page isn't entirely clear on what features are included in this OTA (4.13.502.3), except to say there will be HTC Sense 6 highlights, AT&T Address Book integration, Uber, Ready to Go, Usage manager, Mail and Live (Yahoo), and HTC Sense 5.5 highlights. It's still based on Android 4.4.2, though. If the AT&T update is anything like the other Sense 6 updates for the One Mini (and it probably is) this is what you can expect:

• HTC Sense 6 update
• Color coded themes for easy navigation
• Personalized Font style
• Extreme Power Saving Mode
• Button that clears all recent apps
• New interface for Gallery and Camera
• Image Match function to find photos faster in the Gallery
• Support POI (Points of interest) location in Gallery's Map view
• Smoother BlinkFeed, continuous scrolling experience
• New BlinkFeed UI to intuitively add new content
• Nearby restaurant recommendations
• Schedule function for the Do Not Disturb mode
• Improved Music app

This 550MB OTA is even larger than the update for unlocked and international versions of the device, probably because of the extra apps AT&T likes to include. You can hit the update menu to see if it's available for your phone yet, but no promises.
