New Features In Android 4.2.2 For HTC One Previewed – Battery Percent In Status Bar, Quick Settings, And More

One of the very few issues with the HTC One is that it still runs Android 4.1, whereas the Galaxy S4 started out on 4.2. A new report on what's to come with HTC's OS update includes some apparent screenshots of Sense 5 on 4.2.2, and there is some good stuff on the way.

First up, there is finally an option to have the battery percentage in the status bar. This is activated in the power settings. The native Android quick settings have been implemented with some slight tweaks. There are a few more toggles, including power saver mode which is no longer taking up space at the top of the notifications.
