The U.S. version of the unlocked, silver HTC One Max 32GB Smartphone may look like the HTC One M7, however it features a 5.9" Full HD, 1920 x 1080 resolution touchscreen display, compared to 4.7" on the M7. Other differentiating features of note include a microSDXC card slot, on top of the built-in 32GB, that will accept cards up to 64GB in capacity. And there is a biometric fingerprint sensor on the back, just below the rear-facing camera, allowing you to unlock the phone with a swipe.
The phone is powered by a 1.7 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor and has 2GB of RAM. An integrated micro-USB interface allows you to connect the phone to a computer, providing the fastest way to load and off-load large files, and also allowing you to recharge the phone from any device with USB bus power. Additionally, you can use the micro-USB port to connect an optional MHL adapter, available separately, for outputting video to an external display such as an HDTV.
Not only does the phone's 5.9" LCD screen with Gorilla Glass 3 protection facilitate watching HD video, the phone features a 4MP "UltraPixel" camera for making movies as well. The camera also takes stills at up to 2688 x 1520 resolution. The sensor uses a low megapixel count and 2 x 2 µm sized pixels to provide better low light performance compared to sensors of the same size at higher resolutions. There is also a 2.1-megapixel camera in the front for video chatting or taking self-portraits.
Bluetooth 4.0 is onboard for pairing with other Bluetooth-enabled devices. 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi is also integrated for high-speed Internet connectivity. Built-in NFC allows you to instantly connect to other NFC-enabled devices for content sharing, simply by tapping the two devices together. GPS with GLONASS is also on-board for using Google Location and Maps services. Additionally, the HTC One Max has an embedded 3300mAh battery that can deliver up to 25 hours of talk time.
