Can't Bluetooth LE "upgrade" the connection to full speed?

Also, since I'm asking: Does anyone know if my Bluetooth-LE-supporting HTC One will consume very little battery if Bluetooth is turned on? I have an inkling that it will need to keep advertising Bluetooth proper, so it will use as much battery as Bluetooth always has.

No. Bluetooth and Bluetooth LE are distinct, incompatible protocols.
