HTC Malaysia has launched HTC One Max, a supersized version of its flagship smartphone that includes a new fingerprint scan feature, which delivers an enhanced smartphone experience, said the Taiwan-headquartered mobile devices manufacturer.
HTC phones are regarded as expensive alternative to Samsung's and the build quality is said to better with good luxury feel, although I've never bought one for myself to have the kind of experience.
HTC claimed that the upgrade to HTC Sense 5.5 (that's HTC's Android skin to you and me) will provide our most amazing mobile experience yet, with the HTC One max delivering the size and power required to do "everything you want, and more, without compromise."
HTC One Max specifications
Display : 5.9" full HD1080p
Processor : Quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600
CPU speed : 1.7 GHz
Memory : 16GB or 32GB (news has it that the 32GB version may not be offered here)
Card slot : micro SD
Battery : 3300 mAh
Android skin : HTC Sense 5.5
Price : RM2,499 (expected retail price)
Additional 50GB of additional free Google Drive online storage is offered to HTC One max owners.
The built-in fingerprint scan feature, which is located on the back of the device, allows users to lock and unlock the screen and launch up to three favourite applications by assigning an individual finger to each, he said.
The HTC One max is available in Malaysia at all HTC retailers and selected mobile operators.
TheGreenMechanics: This is a phablet capable of giving Samsung Galaxy Note 3 a run for its money. The race for larger smartphone (or rather phablet) screen size isn't going to stop anytime soon, it seems. But I'll stick to my trusty old 4" screen phone for now, and maybe save a little bit of money.
I tend to agree with the recent research finding that bigger phones mean bigger bills.

getting bigger and pricier.
I can bet you build quality of HTC, esp flagship models are comparable if not better than Apple's.
Sir, where u get your price? Is it confirmed?
HTC was never in my radar, but this is a worthy alternative for the non-Apple non-Samsung fans.
@htc one max - I got the price from Lowyat.net website. It stated that that's the offical pricing.
Feel free to visit their page
The fingerprint scanner at the back is kinda suck design
@Anon - on the contrary, the placement of the scanner at the back suits the LH index finger scanning just nice, while the rest of the fingers grip the phone in place
