Screenshots of HTC Sense 5.5 surface, show its new features

HTC's Sense 5.0 was introduced seven months ago and we all knew that the new version was just around the corner. Well, the screenshots of the upcoming version 5.5 of Sense UI have been leaked, showing us the changes and the tweaks that are coming with the new version.

HTC introduced the Blinkfeed with the Sense 5.0 and the user never had an option to turn of this feature. However, it looks like the newest release of Sense will allow you to disable or enable the Blinkfeed as you please.

Furthermore, with Sense 5.5, HTC will be adding a couple of new topics to the Blinkfeed and the update will also give you the ability to add your own custom topics to the feed.

HTC will be bringing the quick settings panel to all its smartphones with Sense 5.5. Furthermore, will be able to re-arrange all the quick settings as per your requirements.

Unfortunately, there is no word on when the new Sense 5.5 update will begin to roll out, but we should know more shortly.
