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
The HTC One Max is like the One on steroids. It rocks the same beautiful metal frame, but measuring 164.5 x 82.5 x 10.29mm, on a truly epic scale. There are a few crucial changes, and they’re mostly for the better - there’s a fingerprint sensor on the back which lets you quick launch apps depending on which finger you swipe, the power/lock button is on the side rather than the top (At last, HTC f
The HTC One Max is large - that much is obvious - but it didn’t have to be. Samsung’s new Galaxy Note 3, for instance, has a display that measures just 0.1-inch less across diagonally, but the bezel at the top and bottom is substantially shorter. So much so, in fact, that it’s closer to the HTC One in size than the Max. As a result, the One Max feels needlessly, Dom Jolly in Trigger Happy TV over
The HTC One Max is a gorgeous, sturdily built effort, just as you’d expect from the company. But like the Huawei Ascend Mate, it really is too big and more importantly too impractical for all but die hard fans. At this size, Samsung’s design decisions ...

Beautiful screen, once again, Sense 5.5 and really useful BlinkFeed, Expandable storage, huge battery
Doesn't quite match build of HTC One, No stylus, Heavy and big so could spell pocket trouble
– a fine first phablet from HTC The One Max is a true phablet in that it makes your whole gadget haul simpler – instead of doubling-up on devices that do many of the same things you can keep a big tablet or laptop at home and manage brilliantly throughou...
Iffy fingerprint scanner; Typically chunky and heavy
As much as we love the One Max’s features, we’ve seen all of the best stuff here in a better form with the original One and One Mini. The spacious screen is a more comfortable way to enjoy video, but the cost is a bulky frame that’s difficult to handle wi...
Older CPU, Less impressive design, Pointless fingerprint scanner
We won't pull any punches. The HTC One Max doesn't come close to hitting the heights of the HTC One.It's a phone that's designed to serve a very singular purpose - give those that liked the look of the One a phone with a bigger screen, and almost nothing...
Sleek aluminium design, huge Full HD screen, Sense 5.5, good battery
Not as powerful as main rivals, fingerprint sensor isn't accurate enough
If you've been waiting for HTC to supersize its superb flagship device, you won't be disappointed with the One Max. It doesn't quite match its rivals in terms of raw processing power, but a decent camera, some pleasing software tweaks, gr...

Big, bright, bold display; Sense 5 interface is attractive and easy to use; Good battery life; Enough power for most tasks
Older processor doesn't compete well against competition; Too big and heavy for most people's needs
The HTC One Max's huge, Full HD display and metal body make it the ideal phone for those of you craving the sleek design of the normal One, but wanting a bigger screen for movies and games. Its older processor, however, is disappointing....

Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the HTC One max on Sprint. The One max is essentially a bigger version of the successful HTC One Android smartphone. The max has a 5.9″ full HD Super LCD display, BoomSound stereo speakers, and HTC's 4MP Ultrapixel camera with Zoe. It ru...
