In case you hadn’t hear enough about giant, oversized phones today, here’s some more news about another giant, except this time the news might be a little more welcome. The 2013 HTC One Max was a monster of a phone - with a display measuring 5.9-inches, it positively dwarfed its little brother off of which it was based, the HTC One M7. HTC appears to have decided this isn’t the direction it is going to continue taking its largest smartphone and is allegedly going to go with a much more friendly 5.5-inch display with its next phablet, what’s being called the HTC One M8 Max. The display will also apparently be of the Quad HD variety, which would make the M8 Max a very attractive option alongside the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and presumably the soon-to-be-announced Nexus 6.
Other rumoured specs of the M8 Max include a Snapdragon 805, 3GB RAM, and perhaps most surprisingly, HTC will be keeping the fingerprint scanner that adorned the back of the original device. And when can we expect to see such a device to release? Q4 2014 is the quoted date, but we’re wondering if the M8 Max can rekindle the goodwill of the One M8 which has somewhat died off at this point in the year.
What are you thoughts about a smaller HTC One M8 Max? Would you prefer this over the larger Note 4 or Nexus 6? Let us know your opinion.
