Dual-SIM HTC One Max for China Unicom leaked, may pack a fingerprint reader

DualSIM HTC One Max for China Unicom leaked, may pack a fingerprint reader

Much like HTC itself, leaksters have also been hard at work to help promote this company. Courtesy of ePrice, the latest spy shots feature the upcoming 5.9-inch One Max, and specifically, this is a dual-SIM model destined for China Unicom. Like the One Dual (or better known as 802w, 802t or 802d in China), this much bigger device sports a removable metallic back cover for access to the dual SIM slots, along with what appears to be a microSD slot at the top right corner. There are also a set of docking pins towards the bottom right on the back, so chances are we’ll see official dock accessories for this bad boy.

Early HTC One Max press image reportedly spotted

Early HTC One Max press shot reportedly spotted in the wild

To date, our glimpses of the HTC One Max (aka T6) have been limited to a few small photos. Courtesy of @evleaks, we may have a better look: he just posted what’s reportedly a “non-final” (if high-quality) press image of the giant smartphone. The shot matches what we’ve seen before, suggesting that the One Max really is the One writ large. The only major changes are the camera flash position and the more conspicuous side trim. While the image can’t reveal what’s inside, such as the rumored Snapdragon 800 chip and bigger battery, it does hint that HTC’s supersized device could launch relatively soon — possibly at IFA.

HTC teases ‘big things ahead,’ likely referring to One Max (updated)

HTC teases 'big things ahead,' likely referring to One Max

Remember when HTC decided to add its own contributions to the One Mini rumor mill by using its own infographic? It seems the Taiwan-based company is following the same trend with the HTC One Max, a device that we’ve heard about for what seems like months. On its official Twitter account, it posted a teaser in the form of a six-second Vine, three simple words and a hashtag: “big things ahead. #HTChange.” Take from that what you will, but it seems to us that this particular tease means we’ll be seeing the larger variant of the One sooner rather than later.

Update: There’s now a YouTube clip showing a similar teaser, but it’s not clear whether the phone featured in it is actually the One Max. See for yourself after the break.

HTC One Max reportedly surfaces in photos with 5.9-inch display

HTC One Max reportedly surfaces in photos with 5.9-inch display

Word of the HTC One Max first surfaced in a leaked document from UK carrier O2, but now the phone seems to be making an appearance in the flesh. Taiwanese site ePrice has gotten its collective mitts on two photos of what’s claimed to be the retooled flagship, which boasts a 5.9-inch 1080p display. Differences in the hardware don’t exactly jump out at first blush, but the relative distance between the lower speaker grill and its buttons hint at a larger screen. While the One Mini’s grate doesn’t extend as far as the full-sized smartphone’s, the grill on this jumbo device stretches past that of both handsets.Though this model also sports traditional China-specific tweaks such as dual SIM slots, the most notable changes include an upgrade to a 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 processor and a 3,200mAh battery. ePrice says an official One Max appearance is rumored for next month at IFA, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled for invitations to special unveiling events.

HTC T6 rumored to offer 5.9-inch 1080p display, 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800

HTC T6

If the HTC One is just too small for your needs, perhaps the latest rumor will perk you up: a 5.9-inch HTC device code-named the T6 is purportedly in development. Notable leakster @evleaks has dug up a few details about this handset, and — if true — this is going to be one heck of a refresh to the company’s premier lineup. Here’s what we’ve heard so far: it’s consistent with the One’s general look, sports a 1080p display, a 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 chipset (MSM8974), BoomSound, an OIS-equipped UltraPixel camera, 2GB RAM and a 3,300mAh battery. The T6 will supposedly feature a dedicated pen / stylus as well as a biometric fingerprint scanner around the back. Curiously, it’s also reported that the T6 will have a microSD slot — an addition that would be inconsistent with HTC’s current design strategy — and will run on Android Key Lime Pie. The latter rumor seems unlikely, given the high chance that 4.3 will be a Jelly Bean release, but we suppose anything can happen between now and late summer / early fall (the T6’s supposed launch timeframe). That said, all of the above rumors are making us very excited — and hopeful — for what HTC is cooking up, provided it still fits comfortably in our hands.
