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

The HTC One Max has a massive screen that's bright
Colorful

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: Giant phones that we now call phablets did not even exist just three years ago. Then, the advent of the original Samsung Galaxy Note brought an avalanche of larger and larger devices, blurring the lines between a tablet and a phone. With every year scr...
Abstract: I like my HTC One; it has turned out to be the best Android phone I've ever owned or used, but I do wish that it had a larger screen and a better camera. When I heard there was an HTC One Max coming out, I couldn't help but be intrigued. Larger screen? Be...

Fantastic 5.9 inch 1080p display, Long battery life thanks to 3,300 mAh battery, microSD expansion slot, High quality front facing stereo speakers, Power button on right side
I wish HTC would have had the people working on the HTC One Max focused on the HTC One II or HTC Two, whatever the successor to the HTC One will be called, in time to launch that device before the holiday season. To make the One Max a killer device, it ne...
Infrared interface for TV remote control, Extensive communication equipment, Bright and high-contrast, 5.9 inch screen with Full HD resolution (SLCD3), Good application and graphics performance, Speech and recording quality, Superb stereo loudspeakers on
Non-removable battery, Inferior camera, No unibody aluminum chassis
We can only answer the question asked at the beginning of this review, whether the concept of HTC's One Max can succeed, with a clear "Yes". HTC's slogan ". more everything" is true. Except for the omitted image stabilizer, HTC's One Max is a blown up ve...

Abstract: Sponsored links, if any, appear in green. HTC One Max The HTC One Max took HTC into new territory. HTC has made several large phones before, and it has even produced a tablet or two, but it never created anything on the scale of the One Max. With a 5.9...
Abstract: Decisions, decisions, decisions – making the right one can be tough with all these great smartphones to select from. Anyone who's on the looks for a new handset is perfectly aware of that. And it gets even more difficult now that a new category of devi...
Large display is ideal for games and videos, Outstanding metallic design, Great frontfacing stereo speakers, Solid battery life, Good call quality
Underwhelming camera experience, Fingerprint scanner uncomfortable to use, Could have used the faster Snapdragon 800 processor
As the HTC One and the HTC One mini before it, the HTC One max is a well-made phone. Seriously, there's quite a lot to like about it: from the outstanding metallic design and the large high-resolution display to the awesome front-facing speakers and th...

For me, the One max is probably a new upper bound in terms of size. It's a very large phone, and although it fits in the front pockets of my jeans and shorts, it's sometimes a stretch to sit down comfortably with the One max in a pocket. In terms of ergon...
Abstract: With this week's launch of the HTC One max, HTC has completed its 2013 lineup of the One family and like the One mini before, the One max is targeting a different kind of One clientele which nevertheless is looking for a stylish smartphone. However, th...
