DESIGN AND APPEARENCE

So most attractive part is the giant almost 6 inches or to be specific  5.9 inches touch screen of this device, first impression of this phone is that this device is not made for every one because you really need  deep pocket to own this device,  as I said deep pocket which means that you will need both money and space because thing is priced over $1000.

Design of this phone is just same as HTC ONE as I told you this is the big HTC ONE. The  phone looks great and looks more stylish than any of its competitors. In the front you can see the HTC's dual boom sound front facing speakers which produces an unmatched stereo sound, large 5.9 inch FHD LCD screen1080x1920 pixels (~ 373 pixels per inch)   and front facing 2.1 MP camera for video calling and also with features like HD video recording and HDR. There are also two capacitive keys for home and back options.

HTC ONE MAX LEFT

At back there is aluminium rear panel with plastic sideline to increase the grip of the phone, also there are three terminal to connect the phone to the power flip case to recharge the battery. At rear of the phone you will also get a 4 ultra pixel camera same as on HTC one and the unmatched feature which make this android phone special is the finger print  scanner which is under the primary camera of device.

On the top of the device there is 3.5 mm universal jack for headphones and infrared    connecting other media devices to the phablet.  On the left side there is small key to release the back cover of the phone, on the right side there is power/lock key with the volume rocker.

WHATS NEW AND  WHATS INSIDE(display, camera, processor, etc)

So the new feature is the finger print scanner  which is the alternate to security lock and lock screen pattern. This is only the show off thing as its use is limited and you can only use it for some apps only the most disappointing part of the phone is the placement of the scanner which awkward and very inconvenient for the daily use.

the HTC ONE MAX is equipped with a brilliant 5.9 inch super LCD 3 full HD 1080x1920p resolution display with 373 ppi which is very good and viewing angles are also good and you will enjoy all you viewing experiences be it watching videos or playing games or surfing the web, overall the phone has great screen no doubt.

The HTC ONE MAX runs on 1.7 GHz, Quad Core, Qualcomm APQ8064 Snapdragon 600 Krait 300 CPU which is supported by 2 GB of RAM. The processor of the phone looks outdated on papers but performs without any lag in gaming multi-tasking and other heavy duty tasks, thanks to latest version of HTC UI,HTC Sense 5.5 with HTC blink feed the same feature you will find on HTC ONE, It’s a much simpler and more stylish UI than of what you'll get on Samsung’s Smart phones. The only setback is that this chipset is not future proof.

The HTC One Max uses the same 4MP Ultra Pixel sensor of HTC One, except without the optical image stabilization (OIS). On the up side, bigger pixels have better performance in poor lighting conditions, and features like Face Detection, Smile Detection, Optical Image Stabilization, Video Stabilization, BSI Sensor, Sensor size 1/3', F2.0 Aperture and 28 mm lens, HDR, Slow motion video recording with variable speed playback, Continuous shooting and VideoPic, Dedicated HTC Image Chip 2, Smart Flash (Five levels of flash automatically set by distance to subject), HTC Zoe with Sequence Shot, Always Smile and Object Removal, Gallery with Video Highlights and HTC Share.

FINAL WORDS

when comes to phablet no doubt HTC ONE MAX definitely makes a statement.. The awesome screen is taken to another level by the front dual speakers as you watch videos or play games the sound comes to you straight and clear ,and also decent battery life. The unibody metal design is also the best in class design. The fingerprint scanner and an ultra pixel camera which is good for low light photography but as camera lacks optical image stabilization, also the snapdragon 600 looks dated on paper, the performance is not sluggish but snapdragon 800 would be better with that price tag, HTC must cut priceof ONE MAX to make it a deal..

As there are more option available in the market like GALAXY NOTE 3, SONY XPERIA Z ULTRA and  the upcoming new ACER LIQUID S2, In the same price point takes competition to another level but still it's a great deal if you want to buy a the phablet available in the market which is the most stylish and looks very premium you can blindly go for HTC ONE MAX.
