HTC One X Jelly Bean update starts to rollout

The Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update has begun to roll out to HTC One X handsets in Europe.
According to Android Central the Taiwanese firm has confirmed that owners of the international version of the One X in Europe and Asia will start seeing the update pop up on their devices over the next few days.
A report from September claimed that we'd see the Android 4.1 upgrade arrive on the One X in October, as HTC looks to keep up with its biggest rival the Samsung Galaxy S3, which has recently received the sweetly named software.

Smoother and faster

The update will be available over the air (OTA), meaning you won't need to plug your One X into your computer to download and install Jelly Bean, but due to the size of the file you'll need to hop onto a Wi-Fi network and make sure your battery isn't too low.
Android Jelly Bean is a smaller update than Ice Cream Sandwich, bringing incremental upgrades to the Google platform, the most noticeable of which is Project Butter, which aims to deliver a smoother and faster user experience.
We're waiting for official word from HTC to confirm which regions can expect the update and when, and we'll update this article once we hear back.
Update: An O2 spokesperson has told TechRadar: "The Jelly Bean update for the One X is coming soon. We expect it to arrive in a couple of weeks."
Update: TechRadar has also spoken to Three, who said: "the Jellybean update is imminent and we'll be in touch once we have a confirmed date"
We've contacted the other UK networks to find out their plans on the HTC One X Jelly Bean update, but we're still waiting to hear back from all of them.
