You might wonder how you would live without your smartphone, but one gas station clerk in Florida could literally be dead without his. His HTC EVO 3D stopped a bullet that was fired at his abdomen during an early morning robbery, ensuring the injuries he sustained were only minor.

HTC unveiled the One Max two weeks ago, as an upscaled variant to its immensely popular high-end Android-powered smartphone, the HTC One, the handset was exclusively available to purchase on-contract from Vodafone U.K., just a few days after its announcement. And now, today, an unlocked version of the phablet should be in stock at several U.K. independent retailers.

HTC rolled out its Android 4.3 update for the international HTC One earlier this week, and with it came the company’s latest Sense 5.5 user interface. It boasts a whole host of new features and improvements — including the ability to disable BlinkFeed completely — but that’s not all.

Users will also find themselves with 25GB of free Google Drive storage.

HTC has today begun rolling out its Android 4.3 update with Sense 5.5 to the international HTC One. The update, which weighs in at 675.48MB and comes with build number “3.62.401.1,” makes a whole host of improvements and enhancements, and addresses various bugs.

The British independent communications retailer, Phones4U, has officially announced that it will be exclusively carrying a new “Glamor Red” variant of the HTC One Mini. The handset is expected to be available to purchase from either the retailers online or any of its brick-and-mortar stores starting next month.
