The editors liked
Big
Beautiful display
Battery life that lasts for days
A very solid
Premium feel
Android 4.3 — not the latest
But close
Same camera as the HTC One — it's a good camera
Excellent display
Good battery life
Great front-facing speakers
Larger screen
Longer battery
MicroSD slot
The HTC One Max has a massive screen that's bright
Colorful
And sharp. The camera is packed with features and takes pictures quickly
Plus the phone has a powerful set of stereo speakers
Solid aluminium body with plastic edging
Power button placement is good
Excellent battery life
BoomSound speakers are very loud
Supports microSD
HTC Sense 5.5 is an improvement on the past generation
And you can now turn off BlinkFeed
The editors didn't like
It's really little more than a big HTC One
Large size means its hard to use all functions with one hand
A phablet-sized device
With no phablet features
It could be so much more than just a big phone
Hardware
Fingerprint sensor is awful
Awkward ergonomics
Fit and finish pales compared to One
Older CPU
Expensive
Unwieldy
Pointless fingerprint scanner
The HTC One Max is large and heavy and the integrated fingertip reader often fails to recognize finger swipes. The phone's battery is not removable either
And the One Max's components don't match its high price
Heavy
Fingerprint scanner is in a silly location
The fingerprint scanner has severe problems running in darker environments
Abstract: The HTC One Max is the largest member of the One family and has even been accused of being too big, despite that being the whole point. It sits towards the larger end of the phablet market with its 5.9 inch display and is a direct competitor with Samsung'...

Not every design gets better just because it's bigger, and the HTC One Max is sadly proof of that. I'd still happily have an HTC One as my day to day phone, or even at a pinch the HTC One Mini, but the HTC One Max doesn't perform well enough to push it ah...

Heavy; Fingerprint scanner is in a silly location; The fingerprint scanner has severe problems running in darker environments; Ultrapixel camera hasn't improved at all; Back removal switch is in a silly place, and resembles more a mute or lock button; Pro
While the idea of a bigger One makes a lot of sense, especially to those who prefer bigger screens, HTC's implementation of it leaves us wanting.It's almost as if the company took a half-hearted approach, literally recreating the HTC One but in a bigger f...

Wrapping up the HTC One Max is a difficult task.I think the primary reason for this is that I want to love it. I have used quite a bit of HTC hardware, and I have (with one or two exceptions) enjoyed each and every HTC device I've used. The exception ther...
The HTC One Max is a lot of phone with a large screen – it won't suit everyone but those willing to carry around a device of this size will have lots of benefits.When compared to similar large-screen smartphones like the Sony Xperia Z Ultra and the Samsun...

Unless you're absolutely set on having an HTC One but demand a larger screen, no you shouldn't.The One Max has many of the features we loved in the very first HTC One, but it's lacking the polish and quality we need. It's kind of sad that the HTC One line...

The HTC One Max is an oversized Android phone with an excellent display and stellar battery life, but it's let down by a fit and finish that's less impressive than the original One, and a frustratingly poor fingerprint scanner. It's also extremely awkward...
