HTC is trying to wangle Samsung Galaxy Note 3 of buyers with a chic One phablet version of its smartphones. If the device is good enough for it? Or it is not enough simply to maximize only a successful model and incorporate a fingerprint sensor?
To test
HTC One Max, is actually a simple thing. Finally, the Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer has hardly changed for the one under the hood slightly. However, the big brother is clearly visible on the back of a fingerprint sensor, which possibly is the reason that the camera sitting above its optical image stabilizer was robbed.
addition, the Max, the first one, where you can remove the aluminum back to insert the SIM or microSD card. Thus, the giant is firmly in place, it holds a lock that can be solved with a slide button on the upper right side. At least with the test device makes the solution a solid impression and to a slightly resilient seated corner of the lid. The One Max, therefore, makes a similar impression of quality as the Mini One. Unfortunately, it also has the broad sides of the small plastic device has inherited and therefore not quite as noble as the one with shiny metal edge.
Too big for your pocket
The One with Max is 217 grams 50 grams heavier than the Galaxy Note 3 and surpasses it with 164 x 83 x 10 millimeters also apparent in the measurements. In the test, the device was actually always placed inside the backpack or in your pocket. Can you look at the front Klopper not slip into a pocket, unless you never want to sit down. For this, the great body volume for the resonance of the two stereo speakers seem to be an advantage – the sound is just a tad bit richer than the “normal” one
.
The display of the HTC One Max is a 5.9-inch glory that shines with about 350 ppi and very good viewing angles, natural colors and beautiful contrasts. However, HTC has apparently limited the maximum brightness, which on the one hand protects the battery, on the other hand, the otherwise excellent impression of the screen tarnishes slightly in sunlight. While it is difficult to estimate the battery performance test in a few days. But the battery does make the impression that he would have no problem even with brighter display to make the unit easy throughout the day.
finger exercise on the back
At the presentation of the One Max the fingerprint sensor suspect a nice gimmick, but no real enrichment for users to be raised up on the back. Indeed, this impression was not entirely confirmed in the test. A finger is detected quickly, usually it is enough to wipe over the sensor three times. It is important to keep the unit as you would do it otherwise. Because unlike the iPhone 5S, where it does not matter what angle you press the Home button, you have to always wipe over the sensor in the same direction and at the same angle as possible on the HTC Max One.
seems to be complicated, but it is not. Actually unlock the device works so often at first and rarely requires a second string. After several failed attempts, you have to enter a predefined password. Overall, you can scan three fingers, not just unlock the One Max, but also to select any app can start immediately.
A movement too much
more than two fingers but probably the least-Max owners will actually use. Because comfortably find only the index finger their goal. For all other fingers of the scan to a complicated exercise that you can save is. In addition, we smeared the first time often the camera scans during the finger to the sensor. After two days you get the hang of it though. However, a major disadvantage compared to a sensor in the home button, even the most routine does not iron out: Since you only the power-on button to press before the scan, the HTC One Max, a finger movement is increasingly necessary as the iPhone 5S More about
As for the security of the fingerprint sensor, presumably the same applies to the iPhone 5S: Probably you can outsmart a lot of work with a copy of the sensor under ideal conditions, but they are unlikely to succeed in everyday life a thief. How well the biometric data are released on the smartphone, HTC has not been betrayed. It could be that they are in spite of good encryption not as safe as the core of Apple’s 64-bit chip.
All in all, one can say that the HTC One Max is a beautiful, high-quality phablet whose fingerprint scanner quite an enriching experience. However, the smartphone does not offer many special features that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 convinced. One can also buy a stylus for the Max, but except for the “doodle app” there is for the HTC phablet no use. However, if the score the pin could be stuck anyway, can also grab the beautiful HTC One Max.
