Aside from the software update, the new release will also include a more improved battery packs, Google Wallets, and an anti-theft feature that is built into the operating system. After the update, GSM Arena said that the device will now run on software version 2.7.531.6.
On related news, AndroidPolice also said that T-Mobile has finally caught up with Sprint and AT&T due to the software update. The phone service provider will also boast, aside from the operating system update, a more improved camera for their flagship device the HTC One M9. The update will carry an 833 MB load and the download will not be included on the company's metered internet connection service.
The operating system update will also feature a security against unauthorized factory settings, according to PhoneArena.
