The HTC One Google Edition smartphone has just received approvals from the Bluetooth SIG with the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean operating system loaded on top, recent reports on the matter suggest.

The handset features model number PN071 and packs Bluetooth 4.0 LE support inside, which further confirms previous rumors on the technology being included inside the next Android platform release, along with other enhancements.

However, while the Google Edition version of HTC One has already been launched (it runs under the vanilla flavor of Android), the upcoming Android 4.3 OS iteration has yet to be announced.

Given that devices running under it have already started to receive certification, we could expect the new platform release to land in a matter of weeks, as Techtastic notes. Stay tuned to learn additional details on the matter.
