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

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: We recently had some good one-on-one time with both the LG G Flex and Samsung Galaxy Note 3, but there are still several other prized phablets in the space that needs to get a proper comparison against the intriguing curve designed smartphone. Next up ...
HTC One Max is a larger and heavier version of the HTC One. While it inherits many of the great features, it also adds a heavy drawback. I love the screen quality, the front-facing speakers, the oh-so-speedy the camera startup and shutter, the HTC Zoe, th...
Bottom Line, The HTC One Max is a nice extra-large phablet that lends itself to on-the-go media consumption, but otherwise doesn't justify its giant size

After my time with the One Max, it has become apparent to me why I enjoyed using the Galaxy Note devices more than this device. If you are going to make a big phone, it can't just be big. OEMs have to add in features and extra value along with the big dis...

Abstract: The HTC One was one of our favorite smartphones of 2013. But what happens when you take that phone and stretch it out to gigantic proportions? Well, you get the HTC One max, one of the bigger phones you can buy today. Join Gizmag, as we put HTC's first ph...
Abstract: If you haven’t noticed it yet, many of today’s “phablets” look eerily similar to their flagship brethren – almost to the teeth in some instances. Despite the similarities in design, these giant sized smartphones tend to get some additional love in the ...
Fingerprint scanner is finicky, Back cover reveals a microSD and microSIM slot, but no removable battery
The One Max doesn't have any glaring flaws, except that it's basically a reprise of the HTC One with a few new minor features. Regardless, the device is the whole package: speedy processor, capable camera, 1080p screen, and a custom Android interface that...

Unwieldy and heavy design, Software not optimized for larger screen, Pricey
The HTC One Max boasts a big and beautiful display, impressive battery life and fast Sprint Spark speeds, but it doesn't do enough to justify its girth....
Very elegant looking, excellent and big full HD display. Pleasing customization of Android that shows a light touch
Large and heavy, no significant improvements or valuable new features compared to the original HTC One. It's simply a bigger version of an 8 month old phone
The HTC One max is one of the more elegant super-sized smartphones on the market. The design is attractive even if the edges scream polycarbonate rather than polished metal and the aluminum back is as ever attractive. We'd like to see that back cover ...

If you enjoyed the hardware of the HTC One and want that same experience in a phablet, then the HTC One Max is a device we're sure you'll enjoy. It has the same internal specs, Ultrapixel camera, dual-stereo speakers and same feel of the HTC One, but just...
