review on HTC one MAX

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. It builds on a proven formula emphasizing media consumption and looks, while bringing a few welcome new features to the lineup.

The expandable storage deals with one of the chronic liabilities of the One, so you're no longer limited in your selection of videos and songs to enjoy on the excellent speakers and the now even bigger screen. There's also the latest Android release powering the whole thing, coupled with the most up-to-date edition of HTC's proprietary Sense UI.

Key features

  • HTC Zoe
  • 2.1 MP front-facing camera, 1080p video recording

  • Standard 3.5 mm audio jack
  • Accelerometer and proximity sensor
  • Active noise cancellation with dedicated mic
  • Sleek aluminum body
  • Front-mounted stereo speakers with BoomSound tech

Main disadvantages

  • 4MP UltraPixel camera has less than stellar performance in good light
  • Non user-replaceable battery
  • Poor video and audio codec support out of box
  • Fingerprint scanner let down by software support
  • Snapdragon 600 chipset is no longer the snappiest around
The choice of Snapdragon 600 over its more capable Snapdragon 800 sibling is bound to raise a few eyebrows, but realistically, the Snapdragon 600 is no slouch either and it has never left an impression of being underpowered. And with the resolution unchanged over the HTC One, there will be no extra strain on the GPU to worry about either.
