HTC releasing updates to Windows Phone 8 devices

HTC has announced that they are ready to released updates for their Windows Phone 8X and Windows Phone 8S handsets. The update brings new builds for their system apps like Beats Audio which will be updated to version 3.4 to version 3.5, Attentive Phone which will be updated to version 2.5 and Regulatory which will be updated to version 1.3

Beats Audio which is integrated with HTC Windows Phone 8 devices promises to "provide an exceptional audio experience on your phone".

Attentive Phone allows your device to respond to intelligent commands based on its environment. For example, Pocket Mode uses the proximity sensor to determine if the device is in your pocket, and if so raises the ringer volume so you can hear it. If you place your device face down during a call, speakerphone is automatically switched on. You can also place the phone face down during a meeting and your ringer will be muted. If you set the phone to ring loudly when you are away from it, it will lower the ringing automatically when you pick it up.

Regulatory shows regulatory information for your model.

It may not be great features similar to what Nokia is offering on their Windows Phones, but it is good to know that HTC hasn't totally forgotten their Windows Phones. I would honestly rather see more HTC apps adopt the Windows Phone 'Modern UI' design in these updates as they seem to be ported over from their Android versions.
