Hasta La Gadget!

HTC has worked very hard to ensure that the KitKat update reaches its prominent devices promptly. Last year flagship, the HTC One, received KitKat back in February. HTC One Max owners haven’t been that lucky though, they’ve had to wait for quite a while even though Android 4.4 was released by Google late last year. Though it appears that the wait might soon be over for One Max owners on Big Red.

The company’s executive director of product management has announced on Twitter that they have received technical approval for Sense 5.5 and Android 4.4.2 KitKat update from the carrier in question, Verizon. He further adds that users should expect the over-the-air update to start rolling out tomorrow afternoon.

Apart from the visual tweaks in Sense 5.5 itself, the core OS update also brings quite a few visual enhancements. Certain new features will also be added, apart from improved security and system performance.

Given the fact that major updates like this are often rolled out in stages, it may take quite a while for Verizon HTC One Max Android 4.4.2 update to go live in your particular region. Even if the update notification doesn’t immediately pop up on your device, rest assured, it will do so in a couple of days after Monday at the very least.

HTC’s One max phablet has landed at Verizon, with the 5.9-inch Android smartphone finally going on sale in the US. The oversized handset, which has a Full HD display and a biometric fingerprint scanner on the back for easier security, is priced at a not-inconsiderable $299.99 with a new two year agreement. That’s an expensive […]

It has been rumored a few times that HTC’s gigantic phablet, the One Max, is going to make its way over to the largest mobile network in the U.S. Just last month, press renders of the Verizon HTC One Max were leaked online. Though at this point in time it is not known exactly when Verizon plans on releasing the phablet on its network, the carrier hasn’t said how much it is going to cost. According to new information and a picture that has surfaced today, it is likely that the Verizon HTC One Max price is likely to be $299.99 along with a new two year contract.

The picture you see posted above revealing the Verizon HTC One Max price was taken at Mall of America, where the carrier unveiled a new store concept today. Big Red didn’t have a demo in-store apparently, though one of the interactive displays featured the device and revealed its price. Those who don’t want it for $299.99 up front can opt for the Verizon Edge plan, and commit to 24 equal monthly payments of $24.99. Sprint might have launched the same device with virtually no carrier branding, the device seen in this image contains Verizon’s logo up front. Verizon is yet to officially announce the release date of this device, hopefully it will do that soon. [Image via HTC Source]
