HTC One max Review

Verizon     See other variants reviews Score: 70.8 / 100

HTC One max is a great quality device released some years ago, in 2013, with an enormous 5.9 inches multi touch screen, a great 1700 megahertz Quad-Core CPU, a 4 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 2.1 MP front camera. We will get a better idea about this phone's specifications when we get into deeper details.

HTC decided to build this device with a very fast 1.7 gigahertz Quad-Core processing unit, included in a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 APQ8064T system chip with a big 2 GB of RAM memory. To help with graphic rendering, it also has a 400 MHz Adreno 320 graphics processing unit. A great point of this cellphone is the 32 GB big internal storage and an SD card slot, allowing you to store tons of applications, games, photos and videos without worrying about running out of space at all.

Regarding its construction quality, this phone is mostly built with Aluminium, which gives it a top level look and improved resistance. This phone is very slim, whereas it's not as slim as many other cellphones currently available, with a thickness of 0.41 inches. The HTC One max is just 6.48" long and 3.25" wide, but it is able to fit a a 5.9 inches display. This phone isn't very light for a phone of this size, with a weight of 7.65 ounces.

This device includes a gorgeous 5.9-inches screen with a 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) resolution, which makes it impossible to even distinguish the pixels that compose the screen. Its screen uses S-LCD 3 capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

The HTC One max is equipped with two cameras, a 4 megapixels back side camera and a 2.1 MP front-facing camera. Its back side camera has a maximum F2 aperture so it can take very nice pictures even in poor lighting conditions. It is capable of capturing videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps, and slow-motion videos in (HD) (1280x720) at 60 fps (2 times slower ). Additionally, this device's camera also features a few good features like auto-focus, flash, HDR mode, digital image stabilization and geo tagging.

The HTC One max features wi-fi connectivity (which can be shared with other devices around, acting as a modem or router), LTE 4G great performance data connection and also HSPA+ data connection, which is a lower speed 4G technology and the fastest 3G connectivity, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The HTC One max uses a Micro SIM card to connect to GSM networks and it works with both CDMA and GSM carriers.

The HTC One max has an incredible 3300 mAh Li-Polymer non-replaceable battery providing this cellphone an extremely long battery life. HTC says this phone has a talk time of 28 hs and a stand by time of 393 hours. An issue to evaluate is that this phone's battery is non-replaceable so you won't be able to replace it when it starts to get older, while with such a big battery you will probably discard this phone before it becomes an issue.

This cellphone also comes with a wide variety of great characteristics like Biometric fingerprint, Near Field Communication (NFC), Infrared Blaster, Bluetooth and GPS Geolocation, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

The HTC One max might be a little bit expensive considering it costs $ 275, and some similar cellphones can be found for less money. No matter whether you are looking for a cellphone for work, want a cellphone to majorly use social networks and internet browsing, want it to take lots of photographs or will use it as a gaming device, this cellphone is a great choice .
