This morning the folks at HTC have confirmed their intentions with the HTC One, HTC One Max, and HTC One mini for updating software builds to Android 4.4 KitKat. With the United States and the likes of Europe, the Middle Ease, and Africa, HTC will be working with carriers to update to KitKat starting – […]
HTC pulled back the veil of secrecy surrounding its supersized HTC One Max last week, which we learned the device would feature a 5.9-inch Full HD 1080p display, a 1.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor, 16GB or 32GB of internal storage along with a microSD card slot to expand storage and one of the more surprising additions is its fingerprint scanner located at the rear of the device. HTC certainly put a lot into its HTC One Max, although we still don’t know what U.S. carrier will be carrying the supersized smartphone. Thanks to the FCC, we now do. (more…)

The HTC One max was officially announced to the world earlier this week (in fact, it was just yesterday morning that the larger sized version of the HTC One hit the news wires officially), right after we have seen a fair amount of leaks and alleged hardware specifications roll out just days or weeks before that. Well, Sprint has already stepped forward to say that they will offer the HTC One max smartphone before the year is over.
David Owens, head of Product, Sprint, had this to say about the HTC One max, “Over the years, Sprint has teamed up with HTC to bring our customers some of the most innovative devices in smartphone history. I am pleased to see our relationship continue to grow as we launch the newest addition to the HTC One family, HTC One max. With the dynamic features available on this device, we know customers will be enjoying heavy amounts of data. Sprint customers will have the peace of mind of not having to worry about data caps or overage charges. While other wireless providers move away from unlimited service, Sprint stands behind its commitment with Sprint Unlimited Guarantee, allowing our customers to lock-in unlimited talk, text and data, while on the Sprint network, not for just the next two years, but for the life of the line of service.”
I guess that’s that then – if you are on Sprint and your contract is about to be up, perhaps it is time you took a look at what the HTC One max has to offer if you want to make the jump to a phablet experience this time around. [Press Release]

There’s little doubt now that Verizon is switching up the way it does business with HTC smartphones, bringing on the HTC One Max not long after the release of the original HTC One. While normally we’d see Verizon carrying a single HTC device of the same caliber, this time around the 4G LTE-toting mobile company […]
HTC announced a new device Monday morning: a giant smartphone with a 6-inch screen.

HTC should’ve had a best-seller with the HTC One. The metal-bodied phone was the go-to recommendation for Android fans in the know, and that it didn’t get the attention of Samsung’s Galaxy range is arguably more about marketing than anything else. HTC followed Samsung’s example in distilling the brand for a smaller version, in the […]
The Taiwanese manufacturer has confirmed that it will release HTC Sense 5.5 for HTC One. This announcement comes after HTC’s worst kept secret, the HTC One Max, was finally announced today. The phablet will come with Sense 5.5 installed out of the box, its younger and relatively smaller sibling will receive the update in the near future. A few screenshots of HTC Sense 5.5 were leaked last week, today we got a good glimpse of it with the official images of the One Max.
The folks at HTC have confirmed to Pocketlint that Sense 5.5 will be released for HTC One, but they’ve not confirmed exactly when this release will take place. HTC One is currently undergoing a round of updates. Android 4.3 update for the device is gradually being rolled out, U.S. carrier branded models only started receiving it last week. Sense 5.5 will be brought over to the One in a future software update. A number of improvements have been made in Sense 5.5. Blinkfeed has been enhanced and users finally have the option to turn Blinkfeed off and revert to a standard issue home screen with shortcuts, widgets etc. Users can now also source content from RSS feeds into Blinkfeed and they can mark something if they wish to read it later. Changes have been made to the gallery as well, it now uses a carousel for navigation. It certainly enhances and refines the user experience, and is likely to make those on Sense 5.0 wish that the update be released soon.

Is bigger better? That certainly does seem to be the case when it comes to smartphones, as a brand new genre of sorts known as the “phablet” was born some time back where it straddles the line between a smartphone and a tablet. HTC might be a beleaguered company financially at the moment after seeing their market share shrink from time to time due to the intense competition around them, but this has not stopped them from churning out new devices from time to time, and their latest effort arrives in the form of the HTC One max.
The HTC One max will basically be a larger version of the award winning HTC One, where it will include the performance as well as sleek design of the HTC One, albeit in a larger form factor. Not only that, it will also arrive with a bunch of other acclaimed features such as HTC BlinkFeed, HTC Zoe and HTC BoomSound, which will all work alongside the spanking new HTC Sense 5.5 that will aim to deliver the best overall smartphone experience – on a larger screen, of course.
Your eyes will definitely appreciate the HTC One max’s 5.9″ Full HD 1080p display that makes it ideal for enjoying photos, videos and movies whenever you are on the move. Powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor that will be accompanied by a quad-core 1.7GHz CPU, it should be able to handle all high graphics intensive apps without batting an eyelid. The HTC One max will also arrive with 16GB or 32GB of storage space on-board, that can be augmented via a microSD memory card slot. Oh yeah, did you know that HTC One max owners will also be able to pick up 50GB of additional free Google Drive online storage?
Pricing details remain to be determined as at press time, but you can be sure that the HTC One max will roll out worldwide from the end of October onward.

HTC has not exactly been doing quite well as a company in recent memory, but it is also nice to see that they have not yet thrown in the towel and let the likes of Samsung and LG walk all over them. No sir, they hit back quite hard with the HTC One that drew its fair share of rave reviews from the masses, and this time around, they have taken something good and made it even better. We are referring to the HTC One max, which is a larger sized smartphone which will deliver the kind of sleek design and functionality that can be found on the HTC One. Of course, there is one standout feature which would be the Fingerprint Scan, where it brings convenience to a new level while maintaining features such as HTC BlinkFeed, HTC Zoe and HTC BoomSound, working in tandem with the latest HTC Sense 5.5.
The HTC One max will feature a 5.9″ Full HD 1080p display, where it will run on a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor with a quad-core 1.7GHz CPU that ought to make light work of graphics intensive apps and programs. With a microSD memory card slot, it is a snap to expand on the 16GB or 32GB of internal memory, while you will also be on the receiving end of a generous 50GB of extra free Google Drive online storage space. There is no word on pricing just yet, but the HTC One max is tipped to roll out worldwide from the end of this month onward. I guess all of the leaks in the past have been confirmed! [Press Release]

HTC’s zapped its flagship One design with its embiggening rays, and scaled the One Max up to gigantic proportions. At 5.9-inches, it’s in that scary land where it’s either a really large phone, or a phablet. We’re not quite sure HTC knows what it is either.
