HTC One Max review: Supersized

14 October 2013
It's phablet o'clock on HTC's watch and they're shifting gear and changing direction. Done expanding the One portfolio towards the compact end of the spectrum, HTC are going the other way with the aptly named One Max...

        My note 3 is only 15g lighter than my note 2 but the difference is definitely noticeable in my pocket and in my hand.... I wouldn't like to own a phone that's 50g heavier than the note 3.

          Good device, but the price is just too high. (about USD 775)
          The same cpu with G-pro is about USD 430 now.

HEAVY PHONES FROM METAL ARE SUPERB, THEY SCREAM:"QUALITY". only kids and teenagers use phones's camera. this kind of phablet mustn't even have a camera indeed. it is a serious business tool. i hate so much the cameras on phones. even at 41 mp nokia lumia 1020 seems a joke compared with a good bridge or dslr photocamera. who cares about 4 mp or 13 mp or 41 mp when all the photos made with the phones are posted 90% on the stupid facebook and 10% are watched in slideshow on the big lcd tv wich have only 1920x1080=2 mp resolution? no one prints them on paper nowdays. AND 4 MP IN 16:9 NATIVE LIKE HTC ONE HAVE IS EQUIVALENT OF A 6 MP CAMERA SWITCHED FROM USELESS 4:3 TO 16:9 ASPECT. MY SAMSUNG NOTE 3 HAVE ONLY 9 MP IN 16:9, NOT 13 MP, BUT I SHOOT ONLY 16:9 PHOTOS SINCE 2009

              OK.. to Put it simply this phone looks damn nice..
              But, it ends there.. its going to be heavy, the camera is a huge disappointment the battery even more so... I wish HTC was designing Samsung Phones, no one can top the note 3 hardware + stylus at the moment in the Phablets category.

                AnonD-199948, 25 Oct 2013Hello sir, my bro want a very excellent music phone, price... moreHEADPHONES: BEATS MIXR-the best headphones ever made on Terra (these headphones seems to have atomic power inside) or Soul by Ludacris SL 150 wich are also very groovy. Other good headphones are:Sony xb 800,910 or Technics rp-dh 1200. And as music player any device from the following models of htc: one, one mini, butterfly, 8x, 8s, desire 500, desire 200-this can be tuned with "folder player with 5 bands equalizer" free app. from google playstore wich is pure gold for this little cheap device. HTC IS PURE AND SIMPLE THE BEST FOR CRAZY MUSIC POWER ON HEADPHONES. I still didn't have heard htc one max with my own ears to have an opinion. Apple's iPads, all iPads are also excellent powerful music players, but forget iphone 5,5s or any new ipods-they are all weak on headphones. The rest:Sony,Samsung,LG,Huawey and the rest are all trash for music on headphones, below any ipod or iphone 5. Pure trash !!!

                            deleting my comment was a little uncalled for... but the battery test is taking awfully long, and the promise of "tomorrow" was made almost a week ago!

There are many apps there wherein you can stream radio using data. So you're argument is invalid. Specs-wise, Note 3 is superior than One Max.
