HTC One Max was announced yesterday by the Taiwanese manufacturer. A giant smartphone or phablet, which includes the lines and design of the HTC One.

The One Mas digital fingerprint reader HTC is back, just below the camera. A site that after the first returns of our American colleagues is not ideal to unlock the mobile. It would not be the only drawback to this feature. Indeed, it is necessary to turn the HTC Max One for the fingerprint reader is active, which adds a step to unlock the device. The comparison with the functionality of the new iPhone 5S is inevitable, and it is apparently not in favor of HTC.

This is at least what appears the first notice. Unlocking the HTC device not meet a lot of failures and it would be necessary to try several times . Where it is necessary to drag his finger on the One Max, a simple long press on the iPhone 5S unlocks the phone. What wonder if users will not end simply disable this option. For the storage of these data footprints, HTC responded to our colleagues Phonarena and reassuring.

One of the peculiarities of Max is the setting of different fingers for different actions. Asked data storage of fingerprints and their uses by HTC or its partners, the Taiwanese manufacturer wanted to clear things up.


data fingerprints are stored in the local memory of the phone . They are encrypted and can not be viewed or copied. The stored information are not actual fingerprints, but characteristics of fingerprints which are decoded by a proprietary algorithm. HTC does not have access to this information and they can not be used by a third party.

so reassuring, but does not guarantee the use of this feature by the owners of the HTC One Max. The side of Apple, the story does not tell us in what ways these are processed fingerprint data.
