  • Be warned that HTC will only support this device for 9 months max after it’s release.

  • So glad that they used another phone that NO ONE HAS for a point of reference…

  • Verizon should get this by lets say ……………………… March 2015………………………… sounds about right . Any other guesses

  • I was just wondering for the people that have the note 2, is that your daily driver?or what cuz this screen is kinda too big.jw what it is?

  • Hmmm.. Shouldn’t you be comparing the One Max to Samsung Note??? You think that One Max is “ridiculous..ly large” (according to your G+ post); so, kind of curious on what your thoughts are on the Note?

  • The specs make this phone a beast, the size makes it a MONSTER! If i could sell my galaxy nexus and nexus 7 (first model) this would be a great replacement. But i would feel a lil awkward with a nexus 7 and a HTC Max. Not a fan of the max either thats the battery boss droids name add on.

    • i think the 3 gig is to help with all the gimmicks that samsung has so it won’t take up the storage just like the s4.

  • Looks nice and I love the front facing speakers, but I have grown to love the replaceable battery of my GN2. Also, its only 16GB internal, and I am guessing the GN3 is going to be at least 32.

    • I’ve had my Note 2 since December…almost traded it in for a Razr Maxx HD after 2 weeks because it seemed too big. After getting used to it…I couldn’t imagine using anything smaller. All it needs is ON Screen Nav Keys and a GPE version.

  • Having large hands this phone has my attention. More details please!!! I miss my Droid Incredible. My gnex has served its purpose, next.

  • Even though megapixels don’t mean much. I want a higher mp camera on this phone than4

  • Wow. If a 64 gb option comes to Sprint, I seriously might consider giving up my HTC One for this….let’s see an unboxing already. Ha!

          • I’m going to take Tyler’s side on this one. He may be trolling, but you’re the one acting like a child.

          • I do disagree with him most of the time, but occasionally he has a valid point. This is one of such occasions.

          • Please tell me you’re trolling and your English and grammar aren’t that bad, or that English isn’t your native language.

          • I’ll probably always take tyler’s side because the people that don’t think it’s funny are the ones that have absolutely no sense of humor. He’s obviously being sarcastic and I’m sure no one else here EVER does that right? /s

          • I’m on the edge for this cliffhanger. I MUST KNOW WHAT HE’S A PIECE OF!!! Is he a piece of key lime pie?

      • As a generally-satisfied Verizon subscriber, I say THANK YOU to the Sprint/T-Mo/other subscribers out there. Seriously, without you we’d really be at the mercy of the Big Two duopoly. We need more competition, not less.

      • Meh. Just left Verizon, I get decent speeds in my area and it’s a hell of a lot cheaper. Nothing beats Verizons’ speeds obviously, but Sprint’s coverage in my area is decent (10-11mbps) and I get unlimited data. No complaints here.

  • I have an iPhone. My next phone is going to be an iPhone. But you should get the HTC One Max.

    • Don’t know that I would admit that whole “I have an iPhone” thing, in public. People might wonder why, if you love it so much, you are perusing the DroidLife boards. Ohhhh… troll… I get it now.

      • Dude Jesus Christ. Have you even read Droid Life over the past 24 hours? You’re like the last person to get the joke.

        • Dude, I was joking. Are you serious? Eric has a multitude of comments all over DL that make it obvious he is an android guy. This is why I usually just read and lurk. Thanks for reminding me. 🙁

        • They know ron is reading it, and cringes a little more every time someone makes the remarks.

          It’s Called Busting His Balls!!!

    • Your current phone is equal to your IQ, your next phone will still be equal to your IQ and if you still don’t understand then I will put it this way. It will never get any bigger, any faster or any better. Apple controls you.

  • Is this the first time that an XT882 appears on DL? FYI, XT882 is very similar to the Atrix 4G but less RAM (512MB only) and it is a dual-card-dual-standby phone exclusive for China Telecom with one CDMA and one GSM slot.

    (Thanks Marco@ePrice for the picture)

  • Tiny Bezels.

    But I’m not a phablet fan… 4.7-5 inches… I kind of refuse to go bigger

    • When ever I hear nokia original ringtone that show always goes through my head

    • the 4m UltraPixel is better than so many phones better don’t talk before you know the camera. maybe now its 8 or 13 ultrapix no one knows wait for it to come out

      • I thought the “Ultra pixel” came out to be 12 Megapixels in the end? Still falls short of the Samsung effort. IJS……

    • not so fast…samsung may still take the lead if they have bigger/removable battery and expandable storage

      • Yep. A removable battery and expandable storage are two key elements for me. I’ve also found the Note 2’s S-Pen to be a great feature. I’m glad to see some serious competition in the large-screen phone arena, and I love the look of the One Max, but HTC will really have to bring something awesome and unexpected to the table for me to consider it.

        • They have a hobby of killing their device with small batteries or no expandable storage…

          • What we REALLY need ASAP is an Optimus G Pro refresh on ALL carriers! I personally have no need or desire for a stylus and I love the G Pro’s combination of formfactor and specs.

      • If Samsung delivers in the US a 32GB or 64GB internal storage plus microSD slot then it will be no contest. If they stick with the lame 16GB with less than 10GB usable space then One Max will take the prize unless of course HTC is plain dumb and goes 16GB as the Chinese version seems to indicate.

    • SO confusing to me why people post comments like this (falsely) predicting the demise of other extremely popular devices (including the i*hone)…

      Competition is good!!

      • There is no predicting required. HTC doesn’t have the cash to launch and all out assault on Samsung and we already know that Samsung has upped their game on each Galaxy Note and will likely do so again. It’s not about the screen size (they have the Mega series) its about the entire package, stylus, added software to benefit, storage, microSD.

        Personally I would like an HTC One Max but I need to see specs on both before I pick a horse.

        • In your first paragraph you’re falling into the same trap of dismissing a phone you’ve never had a chance to play with. In the second paragraph you regain some of your senses.

          My point is twofold. First, we have yet to see this device in action, so it would be stupid to dismiss it so readily. Second, competition is what drives innovation. Why would Samsung need to keep innovating with the Note if there was no competition? Blind fanboyism is lame in all its guises.

      • And we’re still waiting on the One.

        4-5 month old phone, and Verizon will charge us brand new prices too.
        Should give $100 discount on full price if you still buy the one on verizon and waited this long for it

        • Pipe dreams, friend. Since it’s still “top-tier,” minimum of $200 on contract. Hell, the RAZR MAXX was still $200 up until a few days before announcing the Ultra series.

          I can’t justify getting the HTC One anymore when I’ve already waited this long. That’s a shame, too, because I really wanted this phone at first. We’ll get the One Max about six months after (if) the HTC One comes to V-Town. What sucks is that I now have no clue wtf phone I want to get anymore. I refuse to get an S4, but there’s not much that’s coming out in the pipeline soon besides the G2 that really piques my interest. While the One Max does sound nice and purty, we know that won’t come out until monthS down the line.

    • The Note 3 will likely hit Verizon first, in say late November to late December, One Max, maybe Q1 2014.

    • My guess is that any variant of the HTC One (including the original) will come to Verizon sometime between when pigs fly and hell freezes over! Verizon truly is a waste of sperm!

    • I’d be interested, all comes down to functionality between this and the Note 3.

    • The placement of the microUSB is where Samsung has a stylus. The HTC One microUSB is in the middle, perhaps there is a reason its moved, or maybe its not plugged in.
