Good news for HTC One users who purchased their smartphones through Verizon's official retail channels, as the carrier has just approved the Android 4.4 KitKat build.

According to HTC Product Manager Mohammed Versi, the carrier has given the green light to the highly anticipated update, which should arrive soon.

HTC USA announced last week that it would miss the 90-day deadline for the rollout of Android 4.4 KitKat update for HTC One in the United States, but promised that the update wouldn't be pushed back more than two weeks.

It looks like Verizon will be the second carrier to offer the KitKat upgrade for HTC One, after Sprint already started the deployment a few days ago. Stay tuned for more info on when exactly the rollout of Android 4.4 KitKat update for Verizon HTC One will kick off.
