15/11/2013 18:10 TechDuell: Does the Play Store too little payment options

?

15/11/2013 17:20 Zopo phone with real octa-core CPU from 21.11.

15/11/2013 14:59 thinks about Motorola Moto X for Europe after

“Maxi or normal menu?” Fast-food fans in Germany know the question – and usually there is no reason not to invest the reasonable charge for the greater portion of chips and a larger by 100 milliliter drink. But who recklessly orders in the U.S., the large menu, gets a shipping container fries. Enough to feed an entire family, and there is perceived to six liters of cola. Just a bit too much. And so the HTC One Max affects us.

Design

viewed from a safe distance, you could keep the One Max for a Mini One. It looks like the little brother of one significantly more than the One itself is the reason for this in our case, white plastic frame that wraps around the smartphone – and unfortunately looks a bit cheap. The Mini that’s okay, the more expensive it seems somehow Max like a foreign body.

Who

the smartphone from close look at is literally killed by its dimensions. That size is relative, rarely falling as pronounced as on the HTC Max One Right off the bat it just feels too big on, but you get used to it. After an hour, all other smartphones look like toys in comparison.

The HTC one Max has a plastic frame as the Mini One.

so weird feeling disappears when you use the Max – but the disadvantages remain. Even with large paws it is not possible, the HTC flagship single-handed use, and because of the elephantine dimensions of the grip with one hand is as difficult as solving a Rubikwürfels. Who carries it so clearly is, but at first the One Max is just not handy, but a complex task.

To enable operation at all, HTC has the on / off button for the first time placed on the right thumb in height. Good decision. In the sitting rocker for volume control, top jack and infrared port found for use as a universal remote place. Below are microphone and micro USB port – and at the left edge sits above a small slide switch. It is not intended as a silent switch like the iPhone, but unlocks the aluminum cover on the back. Including: SIM and microSD card slot. Yes, exactly: The Max scored the first smartphone in the One series donated a memory card reader. Thank you, HTC! Other hand, the battery can not be seen under the lid, and therefore affects the large flap on the back of something like a farce – the two card reader would certainly be able to accommodate it elsewhere. Moreover, closes the lid on our test device is not immediately: we have it pretty back and forth until it snaps

.

The back has yet ready for a surprise. Below the camera is a rectangular recess in the lid, which conceals the fingerprint scanner. He does not work visually, but in contrast to capacitive touch ID of the iPhone 5S. The user must wipe your finger over the sensor surface. Here and there we hear complaints that the sensor would be difficult to reach or finger reads not reliable, but we can not confirm.

Overall

an oversized One the One Max is so whos Mini. Somehow it seems a bit too chunky and misshapen. The fact that almost the same size of the display fro Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has a much smaller package, further underlines this point.

display

The display is bright enough , colorful and has great viewing angles. However, it is highly reflective.

with a diagonal of 5.9 inches, the display of the HTC Max One almost reached the level of small tablets à la Nexus 7 or iPad Mini. It is 1920 × 1080 pixels, that is full HD represents, and thus arrives at a pixel density of 373 ppi. So that the display is sharper than the Retina display of Apple’s iPhone.

otherwise leaves a good impression of the screen. There is no strong viewing angle, so that smaller groups can simultaneously view a Youtube clip or photos easily. The brightness is distributed with over 430 cd / m² on a decent level, and very evenly over the entire display area – this is one of the typical pitfalls of large displays. Only in the middle of the One Max lights a little brighter than at the edges, but the difference is less than five percent is not visible to the eye. However, the glass surface is highly reflective. That bothers.

At full brightness, we measured a contrast ratio of 1 to 1000th This is at the same level as in the case Sony Xperia Z Ultra and actually a good value Black looks black and not gray. “Actually,” because Samsung is focusing its Galaxy Note 3 on a Super AMOLED display, which has inherently an infinite contrast because black pixels that do not light. The price for this is almost unnaturally bright colors. Whether you prefer LCD or OLED displays, but is a matter of taste. Fact: The display of the One Max is absolutely competitive

.

camera

The camera we already know – but the Mini One, not the One. The difference is the lack compared to the One Optical Image Stabilizer. Otherwise, HTC continues to focus on its ultra pixels, that is: The camera has a resolution of 4 megapixels. Compared to the digicam Galaxy Note 3 there is a lack of powerful pixels: Samsung installed a sensor with a resolution of 13 megapixels

. The camera hardware is exactly the same as in One Mini. The normal one also has an image stabilizer. By the way: The black rectangle below the lens is the fingerprint scanner.

In practice, the difference is only noticeable if you want to capture large prints on paper or edit photos. In Facebook, Flickr & Co., the lower pixel count is not a disadvantage. But she has an advantage: the amount of data are much lower. Therefore, the One Max, like his brothers takes place at the request of individual images always short video clips, which automatically cuts it together into a little video. With the current-sense version can be thereby also choose the background music – fine thing. However, some users complain that the templates of Zoe previous version are no longer included. Too bad.

who makes himself little with his photos, so no photoshop celebrates orgies or regularly can print photo books, goes well with it. With little effort, the HTC software creates results that can be seen. But those who prefer investing even hand and knows exactly what he wants photographic technology, continues with one of the competitors with higher resolution camera probably better.

sound

The stereo speakers are strong, but have to make do without beats audio option. Therefore, they do not sound as good as the one in some songs.

class, we think: The same stereo speakers like the one above and below the display, focused on the user, while still a larger case. This could provide more volume and more powerful bass. But in practice, the One Max suffers a little from the fact that the HTC and Beats Audio headphone manufacturers continue to go their separate ways. Beats The option has disappeared from the Audio menu

Actually, these are anyway only an equalizer preset. But their benefit is only then really when it is missing: In direct comparison, the sound of the one just seems richer and more powerful than the one Max course, such an equalizer also means that the sound is changed. Fans of classical music or other songs with a certain acoustic claim will certainly turn off the function when one beats. The difference is, where you have a choice. Max is not the One. The setting is gone.

The supplied in-ear headphones, we also know from the One. The package includes three pairs of ear tips – one of them clawing certainly fits securely into any ear. They fit well and are relatively strong and bassy. Unfortunately still lacks a volume control on the cable remote.

Software

the One Max running Android in version 4.3. There is also the HTC’s own Sense interface in version 5.5. That’s a good combination, a question many readers probably already burning under the nails: When the update comes on Android 4.4? Officially, HTC has not yet ruled on the issue. The One will get the new version in January to Mini Max and there is no information. We would, however, hold the hand in the fire, that the update is coming -. Still and tap the first quarter of 2014

is behind the black cover as the One, the infrared diode, with the Max for universal remote control. However, in this case, no on-off switch is integrated – it is located on the right side of the frame.

The new version of the Sense interface is entirely situated Android purists. Because the introduced with the HTC Sense one and five flashing feed surface can now be disabled completely if desired. In the blink Feed the smartphone collects the latest news and information from social networks, adapted to the interests of the user. We like it, so flashing feed remains in our test device.

brand new course is the support for the fingerprint scanner. Once set up, it unlocks the phone with your finger rub. Additionally allow for up to three different finger Apps deposit that are started when wiping. To bring about the index finger the homescreen to the fore and middle fingers the camera app. So a wipe with the middle finger always starts the camera – awesome it when you could always use this acronym in various applications would be. Unfortunately it does not work: The scanner is only active when the One Max is locked. To jump from the ongoing operation in the camera app, you would have already been shown and from the smartphone-then on again to get it to unlock then with the middle finger. And again this is such a big detour, that it is not in the practice in question.

power

One quasi Max puts the same features as the One: A Snapdragon-600 quad-core processor running here and there with 1.7 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB internal memory and so on – and so are also the performance data on a line, such as the benchmarks show.

If the waiver Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 top model a problem? Although the 800 scored significantly better results in benchmarks, but in practice the Untschied is significantly less than the numbers suggest it. Yet to benefit both buyers and buyers of one of Max One of the common platform., It is less work for the developers to adapt software updates – and thus benefit both the owners of smartphones shorter update cycles

nutshell: When One Max nothing jerky. The surface reacts smoothly, quickly launch apps, and games run by class. But who is the last bit of performance, get with Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3 Ultra Z or Sony Xperia significantly better results.

battery

sit under the flap slots for memory card and SIM card. However, the battery is permanently installed.

With a capacity of 3300 mAh, the One Max plays on the data sheet already in the league of current memory. He towers over not only his own brother clearly (HTC One 2300 mAh), but also the competition (Galaxy Note 3: 3200 mAh Sony Xperia Z Ultra: 3000 mAh).

test that provides very decent results. While gaming in our tests, the battery lasted exactly 8 hours (Reckless Racing 2), while surfing over Wi-Fi with full display brightness 11 hours and 34 minutes. If we reduce (measured 200 cd / m²), the screen brightness set to about two-thirds, the One Max creates even 14 hours and 55 minutes. That’s enough even for long-haul flights.
