A 5.7 smartphone or phablet can probably operate permanently with one hand for few users, but that is the nature of the matter and has nothing to do with the HTC One Max. In any case, it fits comfortably in your hand.
However, it shows compared to HTC One difference insofar as it is the HTC One Max is a smartphone, which has a removable back.
Formulated evil: you realize that HTC has no great experience with such mobile phones and it is the strength of the provider to produce such handsets which consist of a solid housing. I criticize here at a high level, but the HTC One Max is a very expensive phablet and Samsung for example, shows the Windows Phone Ativ S how solid a cell phone with a removable lid can act. Half a star is subtracted from me for the dirty adjacent rear wall.
The display again to convince white. Since looks even my Nexus 5, which has certainly not a bad display, in direct comparison pale.
The display of the HTC One Max is significantly brighter, the colors natural, radiant. Absolute wow factor. Even in very bright outdoor conditions you do not adjust the display to lighting to see everything clearly.
The camera takes super clear photos. Again, the Nexus 5 can not keep up. I'm not very demanding in terms. But to amuse the family I have different motives photographed and compared with both hands with both phones. Even for people who are not addicted to the pixel craze, it is clear that the photos of the HTC look more natural, clearer, contrasting.
The second half point will be lost, because the HTC One Max on reception has a little trouble. You can see that the signal strength indicator. Where the Nexus 5 on the way to the basement was still working perfectly, the HTC reported net search.
It is not that silly: I'm actually stopped for a while and have the HTC given the chance to find the net. Including switching on and off Airplane mode. No, it did not want to, while the Nexus 5 with two beams still remained online and properly loaded the pages.
When Wi-Fi reception, both cell phones were then par again.
In a short test phone, the odd couple did nothing. If I had to give one of the two phones, the crown, then it would be the HTC because it sounds a little better in telephony.
Much better it sounds when playing music or videos. This is a very great strength
the HTC.
It amazes me how powerful sound can come from this small package. A comparison with the Nexus 5 is not necessary also because the speaker is not the greatest strength of the current Google Phones.
Speaking of Google: the version of Nexus lead the operating systems you do not miss the HTC. You see him, of course, solely because of HTC's Sense. But HTC does not allow any blunders, like jerking when scrolling or application changes, apps are installed quickly and are gone again in no time.
Even when loading and also within complex games, you notice no difference.
The fingerprint sensor, I initially dismissed more than one type gag works amazingly safe.
The so my impressions of the HTC.
In addition to the great display and excellent sound has inspired me the battery.
Despite the permanent testing and practice, the battery charge dropped from barely. It is difficult to empty the full battery on a train ride from Fussen to Hamburg.
Not quite able to convince the receiver and the rear cover.
A total of 4 star.
