HTC One Max Review

Phew! This is my first post on the review of HTC One Max. I am myself a HTC user. I've always been a Nokia phone user for almost 6 years. Over a year ago, I have decided to change to a new smartphone and at that point of time, I was deliberating between Samsung Galaxy S3 and HTC One X. They both are amongst the best smartphone in the market. The Apple iPhone is always out of my mind and hence, in the end, I've bought a HTC One X.

And now, the brand of the phone I owned has come out with another phablet that adds to its HTC One series - the HTC One Max.

 

The system of this phablet is of course the well-known Android 4.3 with HTC Sense. I do not have any doubts over the system, instead, I love it very much.

The key features of this HTC One Max inlcudes:
1. Dual-capture mode frames
2. Dual front-facing stereo speakers
3. Finger print scan

The most interesting bit of the phone is the finger print scanner built-in on the phone, which is located right at the bottom of the rear camera lens. It can be used to unlock the phone without any pins. The unique feature of this finger print scanner is that it can recognised up to 3 different finger prints. I'm not quite sure about the technical part of this feature, however, what crossed my mind was the practicality of this scanner.

To be honest, I think that the location of the scanner is kinda weird. It is not quite easy for one person to swipe the fingers over the back if the phone is front facing. Alright, may be I have short fingers. Perhaps, there are people who will appreciate this feature.

Another feature of this phablet which I think it's worth mentioning is the dual-capture mode. The camera of the phablet is not something with fabulous mega pixels. Instead, it comes with the HTC UltraPixel Camera which claimed to be able to capture higher quality than those with high number of mega pixels. Oh well, I can't comment much about it but the photos captured by this phablet is quite amazing as seen in other reviews. At least its aperture reading at F2.0 is a great achievement for a phone camera. I do believe it can capture great photographs. The dual-capture mode is of course giving us a hype in photography. You are able to capture both from the front and rear camera at the same time! Oh wow!

Overall, I think this phone is great but I do not have any plans to give up my HTC One X yet as it is still new and has recently updated to the latest software with the HTC Blink Feed feature. I'm still happy with it anyway!

But, as I said, good stuff is meant to be shared. I think HTC is a good phone with likeable user-interface.
