HTC's One has been given a phablet-style makeover with the introduction of the 5.9-inch HTC One Max, a variant that adds more than an inch of extra display space to the company's flagship smartphone.
Beyond its big screen, HTC's newest phone includes a fingerprint scanner—although unlike the one in Apple's latest iPhone, it's located on the back of the device. The Android handset is essentially a larger version of HTC's critically acclaimed One flagship phone, with otherwise similar specs.
Unlike the HTC One, however, the One Max can be locked or unlocked with a touch on its fingerprint scanner. The scanner can also be used to launch up to three favorite apps, each triggered by a different finger, HTC said Monday.
The phone has a 5.9-inch 1080p HD screen, a quad-core 1.7 GHz processor from Qualcomm, and 2GB of RAM. The front-facing camera has a resolution of 2.1 megapixels, while the 4 megapixel rear-facing camera uses HTC's UltraPixel design, which the company says uses a larger image sensor to offer better low-light performance.
