Great phone if you don't mind the size
Ørjan Zakariassen (May 12, 2016)
on Gadgets 360
I had this phone for 2 years, and I was quite happy with it.
The optional sd-slot gives flexibility regarding storage, and the screen was big, bright and easy to read/view in all lighting conditions.
But what amazed me the most was the picture-quality I got from this phone.
Use the phone for business, and for those "hard to reach" areas in computing and electrical surroundings, it was great to have this phone.
Both for closeup pictures, but also for completely dark areas where you had to use the flash, the picture would be crystal-clear and easy to read, even on reflective surfaces.
Too bad the newer phones don't produce these great pictures, because since I had this phone, I've had the HTC One M9, Samsung S6 edge, and currently the SONY Xperia Z5 (not the compact or premium) and this is the one I've stayed with as it is the "closest to same" quality phone and camera that I got from the HTC One Max.
The only drawbacks I found with the phone, at least to start with, was the share size of the thing and also after unluckly dropping it on the floor once, the back cover was a little "bumped" and there was a gap between the housing and the back-cover.
But this has nothing to do with functionality, and you are not supposed to drop the phone, so figure it's not really a drawback.
Also there are quite a lot of neat "ad-ons" you can purchase for it, like a walletcase with built in battery, for added batterylife (slim version giving 1100 mAh extra batterylife) and other functional attachments.
Did not react to weak processing power, as the "bad" review part says, and I used the phone quite extensively with a lot of apps, e-mails, editing video's and pictures and so on...

Let the haters put it down, they hate it until they get an hands-on experience on the beauty! : Playing movies and games on a smartphone has reached new heights thanks to the one max! The size and the pixel density gives a unique experience together, It fits in the hands perfectly and huge enough to grab attention! The One max takes up any tasks on its way with ease, Sense 5.5 To be honest, this is the best UI i have come across in recent times, its neat and simple, Lag-free and efficient, Coming to the battery back up, The 3300 mah battery does justice to this huge phone, even under extremely heavy usage it lasts upto a full day with some more juice left! The Htc one max is a total mixture of everything you need! I thank HTC for sending me this beauty to test-out and OH my! This gem never failed to impress me! Sense 5.5, BlinkFeed, and Sense TV and the list goes on! This is a must have device, If u got the cash, I would recommend it for sure!

Best Android Phone of the World.
Rushi Mehta (Nov 29, 2019)

1. Battery bangs and offers great battery life even on Android
2. Performance is very fluid with 1.9 GHz processor (4 cores)
3. Fingerprint sensor are exactly placed where its needed.
4. 3G runs with 42 Mbps.
Day to day Use:
Customized android of HTC is very easy to use for day to day works like calling, SMS and chatting.
Heavy work:
This is accomplished using the 1.9 GHz quadcore processor. Phone will not hang up and that's guaranteed.
Camera:
Its ultra-pixel, the whole new concept the market. I have tried camera result on HTC One and got amazing colors and picture clarity. Though the picture blurs on zooming much, buts its OK.
The shutter speed is blazing. You don't even perceive that the shot has been taken.
If you have sufficient money, then buy it. It is considered as best Android phone in the world.
Brand Matters.

Snapdragon 600 handles pretty much everything with a breeze. Yes its not 800, but truth is most apps are not even optimized for Snapdragon 600. Performance is not an issue
Camera, is okay. It takes excellent pictures, day or night, if you want them to view on laptops or post pics on social networking site. However, resolution is low and one might be disappointed if they zoom in. But, honestly, not everyone does that.
Screen is huge and nice for media consumption. Battery is stellar, and so far, second to none.
Speakers are amazing. I am glad they dropped beats audio. its loud and clear. However, at full volume, quality gets compromised. Its better to listen to it at 80 percent of the max volume, which again is second to none. best speakers in smartphones till date.
Fingerprint scanner's placement, ergonomics and functionality is seriously lacking. Don't buy if that's what you are interested in.
Design, is subjective. But its heavy. So please get an idea how you think you will be using it before buying
Sense is the layer of UI above Android. Its visually pleasing, lighter and faster than touchwiz. Some really nice addition in gallery which brings life into pictures and a very neat personal touch to your pics (I find myself opening gallery a lot just to relive those memories, a very decent trade off for camera quality) and useful widgets like blinkfeed. Camera app is very capable. Zoe is amazing. It has features which people would love to use. However, it doesn't make use of the dimensions of device which touchwiz (samsung's version of Android) does wonderfully.
If you are looking for a phone with big screen and want to click pics to post on social networking and nothing else, its difficult to go wrong with this phone. If you are looking for something which enhances productivity and takes high quality (4K) video and pictures, better to go with Note 3. Its good but way too over priced. It should be around Rs. 49k max. Anything more than that is waste of money.

Extremely overpriced and just a super sized phone. Its not a super-sized One its a super-sized One mini. Better get Note 3 . This Phone has a useless fingerprint scanner which doesn't detect your fingers. You could also get the iPhone 5s if you want fingerprint scanner or just go with Samsung Galaxy Note 3

better than iphone 5s which has a finger print scanner and a non expandable storage and small display. i think this one is better than most of the iphones and samsung phones in looks.Actually the fact is that this one is bigger brother of htc 1 with a fingerprint scanner,big display and new version of android. but its weak points are it has no multiwindow feature like samsung phones and it has the same htc 1 processor.As note 3 has a more good processor than this one and there is no need of fingerprint scanner in mobile phones u can lock/unlock with common password systems.if u like those features wait for samsung s5 which is rumored to launch in january and which is going to have and eye sensing scanner.if u dont like to wait so long. just wait for lumia 1520 which will come to india soon and which has all the specs of a high end phone(20mp camera,2.2quad core snapdragon 800 chipset,3400 mAh better battery,1080p full hd display,32gd internal and expandable storage and comes prelaoded with gdr3 update) or if u dont want to wait buy htc 1 dual sim or note 3 which are the top rated beasts

MAX?????????!!! Well only in terms of size!!!!! The phone would have been a winner if it was launched in 2012!!!! Well ITS 2013 and almost 2014! HTC should grow up.
Let's go in for a detailed review.
PROS:
1)5.9" FULL HD Display.Great for viewing multimedia content and playing HD games like Asphalt 8 airborne, Men In Black etc.
2)DUAL BOOMSOUND Stereo Speaker.Great for loud audio.Sound is significantly better than Samsung Galaxies!
3)Fingerprint Scanner(Its cheaper than iPhone 5S).iPhone 5S is at whooping 70k+ (for the gold version)
4)Expandable storage compared to the HTC One.
5)FULL HD recording on secondary camera(2.1 Megapixel).HDR is also present.
CONS:
1)Snapdragon 600 in times when already a better chipset in the form of Snapdragon 800 is available in the market.AnTuTu Benchmark scores is around 27k which is just better than HTC One and significantly lower than Snapdragon 800 powered mobiles like Sony Xperia Z1 and LG G2.
2)4mp UltraPixel Camera. Well this is actually a marketing gimmick. The ultrapixel actually allows more light to enter by using bigger pixels for the camera. But resolution remains low which results into very low details.Its good for low light due to the absorption of more light but on a day to day to standard, it stinks.
3)No Optical Image Stabilization. This is bad when your upgrading something with a term MAX. The HTC One only has the stabilization of the One family.
4)No Beats audio. Beats audio is actually a software optimization. Audio quality is good but could have been better.
5)PRICE-GALAXY NOTE 3 has better hardware in all respects. Available at much cheaper price. (Almost 10k less)
ALL IN ALL this phone is good but definitely not the best. Humongous price,Older chipset,low resolution camera just doesn't make it some up to a good note. LUMIA 1520 will be coming out soon. Its better to wait for that that to spend a fortune on this.If you are a HTC fan, wait for the price to drop. It will take maximum 4 months to subsidize in a large amount. CHEERS ! !

While Samsung for sure thinks Indians are fools, HTC has also joind the club, sub flagship specs and a cost of 53K shall definitely deter this phone from being on top. I got this phone for my brother from elsewhere, at first it might impress you but don't be fooled test the phone to its true capacity after-all you don't pay 53K for just normal work.
Pros-
1 good display
2 good battery performance.
Cons-
1 laggy processor
2 UI is quite poor
3 Camera does not perform up to the mark, samsung is better at this
4 music is below average, sony phones in range of 20/30K do it better
Giving a last generation processor for huge cost is totally a bad idea from HTC. While competition offers much good features at lower prices with better quality, one has to just guess what was in HTC's mind while designing this phone.

54500..are u serious right now?? the difference between htc one and one max, is just about the size and a finger print scanner..i dont think anyone would want it just for a fingerprint scanner..goodness..an aged processor and ram..and the price tag..horrible a 30000 to 40000 price tag is only idea..never worth the amount u spend...want an alternative? Blindly, its the Samsung Galaxy note 3...the clear winner..new CPU, GPU much better camera, UHD video recording, best part, its at a reasonable price tag

Keep in mind before buying any HTC phone
Jitendra Singh (Mar 29, 2019)
on Flipkart
HTC does not support any call recording software.
Test all the salient feature before buy, as i bought htc one x phone before one year back but still wi fi direct is not working and htc is telling that they have not launched the wifi software till now.
Finally if you will ask him for such apps, they are going to tell you that use hit and try method.
This is my personal experience with HTC.
