Just a few days ago, HTC let DROID DNA owners know that they’re not getting left in the dust, announcing an update which brings Android 4.4.2 and Sense 5.5 to the almost two-year old device. The update would begin its rollout today according to HTC, and it looks like they were right on the money. The update has begun rolling out and will be landing on DROID DNA devices momentarily.
