Solid aluminium body with plastic edging
Power button placement is good
Excellent battery life
BoomSound speakers are very loud

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
Finish, Greatquality screen (high contrast and brightness), Sense user interface is a nice extra, Excellent audio quality and speakers, Very good battery life
Bulky size, heavyweight build, Fingerprint sensor isn't in the most practical place, Camera could be better (except in low light), High SAR level
Good screen, Smart design, Removable backplate, MicroSD card slot
Fingerprint sensor is disappointing
I rather like the HTC One Max in terms of handset design and its good quality screen. HTC understands the necessity to provide add-on apps that are useful, and HTC Sense feels intuitive rather than bloated. Neither BlinkFeed nor Zoe are to my tastes, but...
It won't be for everyone, but if you want a big phone (and we mean BIG), you could do a lot worse than the HTC One Max. This is a serious performer that is built to look good and last.Tags:Smartphones,AndroidBest prices todayRetailer Price Delivery Price...
Abstract: Samsung secured a lead in the plus-sized device space when it released its first Galaxy Note smartphone in 2011. Following the Note's release the market's evolved and, 5in or 6in devices that blur the line between smartphones and tablets have become all t...
Abstract: HTC have been making pretty good hardware for a while now and their latest range of ‘One’ handsets have been some of the most impressive phones of the year so far.However, large phones are becoming more popular now. We’ve already seen the Samsung Galax...
Far too big, fingerprint sensor is temperamental, camera is disappointing
The HTC One Max didn't manage to impress us as much as its siblings. While it offers slick performance, we found the device too bulky and the fingerprint sensor glitchy, with the device feeling somewhat unfinished....
Irritating fingerprint scanner; rather weighty and bulky
Even though the HTC One Max has a roomy display and the opportunity to expand the onboard storage, it is rather unwieldy and its fingerprint scanner is disappointing...
We really like the One Max, but then we really like the HTC One as well. It's a big old thing and the fingerprint scanner, however useful, isn't exciting enough to make it warrant the One Max purchase over the standard One.This is the phone for those who...

Great display, good looks from that One design, BoomSound is still impressive, enhanced user interface from Sense 5.5, microSD card expansion
Nothing specific that uses the size, fingerprint scanner's location makes it difficult not to swipe the camera lens, it just feels too big, back cover fit is perhaps a weakness, loses optical image stabilisation in camera
The phablet category of devices is an odd one. The home of giant phones that haven't quite reached tablet sizes, and the HTC One max finds itself nestled into this awkward pack. For those looking for a big smartphone experience, then that's what the...
Great screen for video and gaming, Solid camera, Decent speakers
Awkward to use, Fingerprint scanner not reliable enough, Not as good-looking as HTC One
The HTC One Max is a strong phone that looks less silly in the hand than a Sony Xperia Z Ultra, but most of the ways it differs from the HTC One detract from the phone, rather than adding to it.Next, read our top 10 best smartphones round-up...
