Good news for Sprint customers sporting the HTC One Max today. Seems an update is rolling out your direction that brings in some HTC Sense 6 to the phablet-ish device. Sense 6 is is what you find on the newer HTC One M8, in case you were wondering. The update swallows a ton of data at 537.07MB’s. So you might need to move a few things around before downloading it.
Sense 6 is the biggest news in the update, but you can also expect to find the Extreme Power Savings mode, color coded themes for easy navigation, personalized font style, a new interface for the camera and gallery apps, image match to find photos faster, POI (points of interest) location in map view and various improvements to BlinkFeed. On Sprint’s support page we also found that the update includes Wi-Fi Calling.
Sprint fails to mention
Sense 6 as part of the update, but you can see the version numbers are the same. On a second Sprint Support page I found the update listed again. Same version number, but still lacks Sense 6 information and sticks to Wi-Fi calling. It also says the update is available for customer initiated requests and won’t start rolling on its own until May 13th.
All that means is you should pop into settings and check for updates if you want to grab it now. Otherwise it will be a few weeks. Make sure you have a good Wi-Fi connection, over 50% battery life and some time to kill to get it installed.
