only wanted him! HTC landed on the now very crowded segment phablet with HTC One Max supercharged.
And for a place in the side of the reference Note 3, and solid challangeurs Xperia Z Ultra even the newcomers Nokia, HTC intends to rely on the arguments of the One, premium finish, durable configuration, and enjoyed significant overlay and a few extras such as a clever and the return of the memory card slot biometric sensor.A machine for power user fortunate, HTC Max One will not be offered by operators (exit grant payment or smoothness of 12/24 months) and it will therefore pay 699 euros for this great One.
Max finishing
Found unsurprisingly excellent finishing machinery branded HTC. Aluminium qualified, accurate assembly is clean and rewarding as ever.
We had some concerns about the integration of the removable back cover, giving access to the microSD card slot and SIM. There is nothing a side release latch allows the shell in a pretty reassuring movement. Solid.
Front Open thus giving access to the SIM card memory (up to 64GB microSD) card but curiously not the battery. Too bad, it would have improved the life of the product and on the Samsung machines for easy and inexpensive replacement of the battery.
On the edge, nothing innovative well with button PSU (not very well placed with pop extinctions), volume (no physical trigger for the photo), the infrared sensor and audio jack on the top, microUSB (MHL V2) on the underside.
back the Ultrapixel sensor HTC One (with optical stabilization so), the single LED flash and the biometric sensor, we will return.
Side grip, the One Max is a phablet 5.9 inches therefore asserting itself as a heavy weight smartphone. Heavy has more than one title with 217 grams on the scale compared with 168 grams of Note 3 (5.7 inches) and polycarbonate “crust leatherette.”
The aluminum finish does not excuse everything, the One Max proves cumbersome with for example a higher direct competition thickness, 10.3 mm against 8.3 for Note 3 and 6.5 mm for the gigantic Z Ultra.
With well rounded back, this overweight, however well managed and to temper with the integration of a good battery of 3300 mAh. The grip remains comfortable.
Remarkable screen, less powerful than the competitor
The One Max resumes display One first name techno namely Super LCD 3. We appreciate once again the slab 5.9 inches (1920 x 1080 pixels, 373 DPI) implemented by HTC, very faithful in restituions colors and delivering excellent brightness and angles perfect visions.
For the LCD, the contrast seems to us remarkable, as was the case with the One. Full marks for this screen which nevertheless offers less deep black as the AMOLED.
The bell sound is significantly different configuration side. The Max One is satisfied with a Snapdragon 600 while direct competitor, the Note 3, opts for the 800.
Marketed outside operator circuit, terminal intends to seduce the “power user”, a very attentive customer performance.
The 600 is not a snail, far away and delivers a user experience and responsiveness of very high level, but he sees himself wearing a Adreno 320 GPU, there are 800 or 330 based on offering great potential at least on paper.
In addition to GPU frequency quad core. 1.7 GHz and 2 GB of RAM listed HTC, 2.3 Ghz and 3 GB Samsung side. Difference shown in the benchmarks, considering they are not bidonnés by manufacturers.
To use and performance feel, we obviously have not seen any problem, the HTC Max One part monsters power this season.
Yet on more specific uses and is more real-time, emulation games, video editing, for example, the difference should be felt and the latest 3D titles should be more “beautiful” on the big flagship of Samsung.
7075 on 3D Mark vs. 17,688 for Note 3
Details for the general public, but elements that could weigh for intensive and demanding users.
The same goes for the data with 4G cat3 100 Mb / s max against 150 (4G cat 4) for the three rating. RAS for the rest of the connectivity level with infrared, wi-fi ac, DLNA and Bluetooth 4. At Samsung, microUSB password v3, v2 HTC satisfied.
If they are not barriers to purchase, these details put together could make Max One less attractive than Note 3 to the the famous intensive users to see …borrows picture and sound
After Apple ID and Touch, HTC also surf on biometric pattern. No validation of shopping here, but the classic release or the ability to run three apps with three borrowed finger.
It is also possible to customize the application dedicated to borrow the camera, audio and video player, web browser, the Torch (with LED flash), most native apps and third in total.
In use, the identification of the finger in any orientation, is very fast. This sensor is therefore not a gadget and watch handy otherwise.
Side photo, we find the arguments (or arguments it is your choice) and the One Ultrapixel its sensor. 4 million large pixels for a retro illuminated sensor 3 1 / thumb supported by a dedicated processor and a wide-angle 28mm lens that opens to f / 2.
The result is close or identical to the One (with the latest firmware maj), a very good camera phone and not far from an iPhone 5s or Lumia 1020 in terms of versatility.
If there is a bright and impressive speed to trigger as burst mode, the pictures are still missing dive in the absence of additional pixel (8MP iPhone, Samsung at 13, 41, Nokia).
color reproduction seems however quite faithful . video side, the optical stabilization is always nice, the HTC One Max is a good cameraphone.
The capture of sound is also very well made with micro probably double membranes and dedicated audio chip.
It is also always full turn cardboard with double speaker on the front of each side of the screen. In the field, the Max One refers to a clear, homogeneous although lacking a little bass. Very clean for a smartphone.
After a few days in the company of Max One, our first return is positive with a design / assembly still feature a useful interface and not too intrusive and solid material with a high quality screen and good sound
. Pending the complete test that will identify such autonomy (non-removable battery of 3300 mAh) arguments, performance, excellent nevertheless seem less direct competitor.
