The design of an HTC One, size of a Note 3, and fingerprint sensor of an iPhone. by Ron Amadeo
HTC is reportedly nearly ready to announce the giant version of its flagship HTC One smartphone, the HTC One Max. TheWall Street Journal reports that the Taiwanese company will reveal the One Max on October 15th. Surprisingly, it will come with a fingerprint sensor, the Journal says.
Rumors and leaked photos peg the One Max as nearly identical in design to the One, just with a larger screen. The Max screen should come in at 5.9 inches—slightly bigger than the Galaxy Note 3. The rest of the rumored specs are pretty standard for a high-end phone: a 1080p screen, Snapdragon 800 processor, and 2GB of RAM.
If the previously leaked photos of the One Max are accurate, the fingerprint sensor will be on the back of the phone, just below the camera. This is in contrast tothe iPhone 5S, which has a fingerprint reader integrated into the home button.
The Vergecorroboratesthis report, saying it has received invites for HTC events on October 15th in Hong Kong and Taipei. We know the One Max should be headed at least to Verizon, as there have been "blurrycam" shots of the One Max with the HTC logo replaced by Verizon's. We should know a lot more about this phone in just one short week.
