"The addition of the HTC One max means that we now have an HTC
One phone for everyone. The family has been built on quality and
game-changing innovations and the HTC One max is certainly no
exception," said Peter Chou, CEO of
HTC Corporation. "The upgrade to HTC Sense 5.5 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."
Big and powerful
The HTC One max's 5.9-inch full
HD1080p display is perfect for enjoying photos, videos and movies
on the go. Smooth and efficient performance comes courtesy of a
quad-core Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 processor
featuring a 1.7 GHz CPU that enables jaw-dropping performance,
ultra-vivid videos and booming sound. Whether you're watching
videos in HD, playing games or checking out what's hot online, the
HTC One max sounds amazing, looks sharp and keeps working when you
need it.
The 32GB onboard memory can be expanded, thanks to a
microSD™ card slot with a massive 50GB of additional
free Google Drive online storage being offered exclusively to HTC
One max owners.[1]
The large 3,300mAh embedded battery means this level of
performance will last and last. Even the most intensive users will
find the HTC One max is up to the challenge with the optional HTC
Power Flip Case, a stylish 1,150mAh battery expansion for your HTC
One max, which offers both protection and extra juice when you need
it most.
Maximum convenience at your fingertips
The average
person checks their phone multiple times a day, so the HTC One
max's built-in Fingerprint Scan feature welcomes a new era of
convenience and advanced functionality. Located on the back of the
device, the fingerprint scanner allows users to lock or unlock the
screen and quickly launch up to three favorite applications by
assigning an individual finger to each.
More content than ever before
The HTC One max's Sense
5.5 upgrade comes with a more social, personalized HTC BlinkFeed
that you can further refine by customizable topic categories and
new integration with premium content providers, including Instagram
and Google+. Up to 120 articles can also be downloaded for offline
viewing, making BlinkFeed even better for snacking on information
wherever and whenever.
Ultimate imaging
Featuring HTC's UltraPixel
camera technology, HTC Zoe mode, that brings your photos to
life, and a 2.1MP front-facing camera, the HTC One max will capture
stunning photos and full HD 1080p videos whether you're the
photographer, the subject or both. Dual Capture means you
can now snap memorable moments and your reactions to them in one
extraordinary photo or video by simultaneously shooting with the
front and rear cameras.
Improved imaging is also introduced through Video
Highlights, which combines your photos and videos to create a
mini movie complete with the soundtrack and visual theme of your
choice. And with the HTC One max, your Video Highlights can now be
any length you want.[2]
Design at its Best
Available in Glacial Silver, the
HTC One max shares the same premium design credentials as the rest
of the HTC One family, providing an all-around exceptional
experience.
Availability
The HTC One max will begin shipping
across the globe as early as mid-October, and it will be available
in the United States from Sprint
and Verizon Wireless this holiday season.
