Below are the official specs are the new HTC One Max. The first disappointment is that it is not using the new Qualcomm S800 processor. It still has the old S600 found in the HTC One. It also is more plastic with the same finish as per the HTC One Mini. This phone is heavy at 217g. Compared to the Samsung Note 3 at 168g there is a vast difference. Also the Note 3 is 151.2 x 79.2 x 8.3mm. So be prepared to got lost holding the One Max. Also it appears Beats Audio is missing and Optical Image Stabilisation.The omission of OIS is dreadful. A large phone like this will be more prone to movement when snapping a photo, so OIS will be needed more not less. There are many positives as noted below in the specs for example a memory card slot and a side mounted power button.

And don’t expect the fingerprint scanner to work as well as the one on the iPhone 5S.
