1. Could you give me and idea of how long i could expect the battery to last if i use the waze app about 5 hours a day, web browsing about 2 hours and average to low use for the rest of things?
2. How long does it take to charge from 0% on a wall outlet and PC USB port?
3. How does the remote app work? can i set it up so the volume adjust the TV but the channels control the cable box, or do i have to setup 2 different remotes and switch between them?

If you are looking for a supersized brilliant HD display and unmatched stereo sound in a mobile phone, then the HTC One max is for you. Seriously this phone rocks! The images that are produced by the 1080p 5.9” screen are crisp and the colors accurate to real life. The stereo speakers blast out clear and clean sound including more bass than I have ever experienced from and single back speaker device. This is also the first device where I have to keep the volume at half power on average for the ringer to prevent me from jumping out of my skin every time I get a notification. It’s that loud.
The screen and speakers are not the only things that shine on this phone either. Both the front and rear cameras are amazing! I’ll start with the front. It’s a 2.1 MP shooter but the cool thing about it is it has an extremely wide shooting angle. Normally you can only fit a friend or two in the “selfie” shot and that’s with you squeezing tightly together and trying to stretch out your arm as though you made of rubber to get the whole shot. Pretty standard, I know, but with the HTC One max I was able to get selfies that included things like the entire family Christmas dinner with everyone at their seat and me in the shot, and beautiful surroundings while out for a hike. It lets you turn Selfies into Everybodies! The back camera is no slouch either. Even though it “only” 4MP the size of each pixel is close to that of a higher end digital camera. The benefits are noticeable too. For starters this camera lets me make surprisingly clean shots in very low light without a mass amount of grain that is normally found with this shooting condition. Daylight shots are also very clean and accurate. Being a 4MP shooter, sharing photos online is a much faster process, and you can store many more on the phone without running out of space so quickly. There are many more advantages that this camera has like the ability to shoot 20+ shots in a row at an alarming speed then do all sorts of fun edits with the built in software like make a sequence shot or remove unwanted people. You can even make a GIF right on your phone with your shots! Video recording is also great. It shoots full 1080p with both front and rear cameras, you can make and edit Slow Motion videos, and there is even a dual capture mode that lets you record with both cameras at the same time. I have been having a lot of fun with the camera. My only complaint is that with the lower MP you aren’t able to zoom in very much. Not a big deal for me because I never use zoom on mobile phones.
The weight and size surprised me. I was expecting this thing to be a behemoth, now don’t get me wrong it is huge, but it feels very comfortable in the hand with a perfect balancing point set lower to the bottom so there is less effort needed to hold it. It also still fits perfectly in my pocket. I you are a skinny jeans user then you will probably have a hard time with this fitting. Also this is not a one handed use design. If you are hoping to do all things one handed then get the HTC One instead. This is for two hands. That being said there are things you can do one handed, the power and volume controls for example are placed on the same side for quick access. Over all it is very comfortable to use.
Another feature I like is the fingerprint scanner. I have read other reviews on it and they had a hard time with it. For me I think it’s great. I will say when setting it up pay attention to how you naturally hold it and set it up with that grip in mind. I am getting about a 98.9% first scan unlock, so that is perfect in my eyes. The only reason I have switched to a pattern unlock is because its very cold out now and I need gloves. I say give it a try you might like the extra security it provides.
In all I feel this is a wonderful device. I have found myself using it far more than then my laptop for all my computing needs. It has a great camera ecosystem, tremendous screen and sound for all your multimedia needs, and its good looking too. If You are looking for a new massive phone then the HTC One max is for you.
I want to thank HTC for providing me with this amazing device to review. I am beyond humbled because I am just a regular long term customer not a professional reviewer. HTC has given me the best Customer / Company relationship experience ever. Thank You HTC.

???????, 22 Jan 2014which better .. htc max or the new alcatel hero ?for sure one max is absolutely better.the ona max benefits against one touch hero.higher cpu,more internal ram and support more capacity sd card up64,super lcd3 vs ips lcd,better sound quality, better desin,and bodt material and style and more.but one hero is better in weight and 0.1incd bigger screen and lower price.i ignor,to addition to tell you the ine max networks is better and has 4g,and WI-FI of one max has ac license which hero has not. for sure one max is very better and beats hero. not to doubt to buy one max.
