We really like the One Max, but then we really like the HTC One as well. It's a big old thing and the fingerprint scanner, however useful, isn't exciting enough to make it warrant the One Max purchase over the standard One.This is the phone for those who...

Great display, good looks from that One design, BoomSound is still impressive, enhanced user interface from Sense 5.5, microSD card expansion
Nothing specific that uses the size, fingerprint scanner's location makes it difficult not to swipe the camera lens, it just feels too big, back cover fit is perhaps a weakness, loses optical image stabilisation in camera
The phablet category of devices is an odd one. The home of giant phones that haven't quite reached tablet sizes, and the HTC One max finds itself nestled into this awkward pack. For those looking for a big smartphone experience, then that's what the...
Great screen for video and gaming, Solid camera, Decent speakers
Awkward to use, Fingerprint scanner not reliable enough, Not as good-looking as HTC One
The HTC One Max is a strong phone that looks less silly in the hand than a Sony Xperia Z Ultra, but most of the ways it differs from the HTC One detract from the phone, rather than adding to it.Next, read our top 10 best smartphones round-up...
The HTC One Max is like the One on steroids. It rocks the same beautiful metal frame, but measuring 164.5 x 82.5 x 10.29mm, on a truly epic scale. There are a few crucial changes, and they’re mostly for the better - there’s a fingerprint sensor on the back which lets you quick launch apps depending on which finger you swipe, the power/lock button is on the side rather than the top (At last, HTC f
The HTC One Max is large - that much is obvious - but it didn’t have to be. Samsung’s new Galaxy Note 3, for instance, has a display that measures just 0.1-inch less across diagonally, but the bezel at the top and bottom is substantially shorter. So much so, in fact, that it’s closer to the HTC One in size than the Max. As a result, the One Max feels needlessly, Dom Jolly in Trigger Happy TV over
The HTC One Max is a gorgeous, sturdily built effort, just as you’d expect from the company. But like the Huawei Ascend Mate, it really is too big and more importantly too impractical for all but die hard fans. At this size, Samsung’s design decisions ...

Beautiful screen, once again, Sense 5.5 and really useful BlinkFeed, Expandable storage, huge battery
Doesn't quite match build of HTC One, No stylus, Heavy and big so could spell pocket trouble
– a fine first phablet from HTC The One Max is a true phablet in that it makes your whole gadget haul simpler – instead of doubling-up on devices that do many of the same things you can keep a big tablet or laptop at home and manage brilliantly throughou...
Iffy fingerprint scanner; Typically chunky and heavy
As much as we love the One Max’s features, we’ve seen all of the best stuff here in a better form with the original One and One Mini. The spacious screen is a more comfortable way to enjoy video, but the cost is a bulky frame that’s difficult to handle wi...
Older CPU, Less impressive design, Pointless fingerprint scanner
We won't pull any punches. The HTC One Max doesn't come close to hitting the heights of the HTC One.It's a phone that's designed to serve a very singular purpose - give those that liked the look of the One a phone with a bigger screen, and almost nothing...
Sleek aluminium design, huge Full HD screen, Sense 5.5, good battery
Not as powerful as main rivals, fingerprint sensor isn't accurate enough
If you've been waiting for HTC to supersize its superb flagship device, you won't be disappointed with the One Max. It doesn't quite match its rivals in terms of raw processing power, but a decent camera, some pleasing software tweaks, gr...

Big, bright, bold display; Sense 5 interface is attractive and easy to use; Good battery life; Enough power for most tasks
Older processor doesn't compete well against competition; Too big and heavy for most people's needs
The HTC One Max's huge, Full HD display and metal body make it the ideal phone for those of you craving the sleek design of the normal One, but wanting a bigger screen for movies and games. Its older processor, however, is disappointing....
