HTC announced One Max with Fingerprint Sensor Feature

After numerous leaks over the past couple of month, HTC One Max was the phone that everyone was looking forward to.
HTC finally has unveiled its HTC One Max phone, and guess what? There is a Fingerprint Sensor too – a trend started by Motorola by introducing it in its Atrix phone, which has recently embraced by Apple in its Iphone 5S.
Beside the fingerprint sensor, the One Max is notably the same thing the techies were anticipating, including first true “phablet” features, a humongous 5.9-inch high definition screen.
The device also has 1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor (same as in the One), 2GB of RAM, and it runs on Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) with Sense UI on top.
The One Max is radically a large version of the HTC One, released earlier this year, but few gripping changes have been made. Firstly, the back cover of One Max is removable, and as aforementioned, there’s a fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone that lets the user unlock the phone.
Besides unlocking, Fingerprint sensor could also be used to access various applications by assigning unique Finger for each of the App. Miserably, there doesn’t seem to be any functionality to enter your fingerprint as a password like you do in the iPhone 5s.
The phone is also running HTC’s new Sense 5.5 software. Sense 5.5 allows you to further customize HTC’s BlinkFeed menu and offers integration with services like Instagram and Google+.
The removable back cover will let you insert a microSD card for up to 64GB. However, You can’t remove the 3,300mAh battery, although HTC is offering an additional Power Flip case with a built-in 1150mAh battery.
One implied deadfall on HTC’s One Max is its weight. The One Max peaks the scales at a staggering 217 grams. Yes, you get a very big screen, but Samsung has already showed that it can create a 5.7-inch phone at 168 grams, which in my view is a lot more portable.
Other than that, this phone is pretty much the same thing as HTC One, with the same UltraPixel rear camera and BoomSound front-facing speakers.
The new device will compete against the likes of Samsung Galaxy Note 3, LG G2 and the upcoming Nokia phablet.
Here are the specs again:

• CPU: Quad-core 1.7 GHz Krait 300

• Chipset: Qualcomm APQ8064 Snapdragon 600
• OS: Android OS, v4.3 (Jelly Bean)
• Design:

• Connectivity: GPRS, EDGE, HSPA+; LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/ac/b/g/n, Bluetooth, NFC, Infrared, microUSB v2.0

HTC One will get Android 4.3 in end of September

Can Robert Downey Jr. save HTC?

HTC has broken its bad streak with the HTC One and are looking to continue improving by stepping up marketing. How? By hiring Iron Man himself, Robert Downey Jr., to promote HTC’s phones.

Bloomberg reports that RDJ won’t be playing any of his famous characters, he will be himself, which is just as awesome (though admittedly Iron Man and the metal-clad HTC One would have gone well together).
He will be promoting smartphones from HTC for two years to the tune of $12 million. It’s a bold move from HTC, which reportedly has only a tenth of the marketing budget that chief rival Samsung has to work with.
Even though HTC and Robert Downey Jr.’s agency have yet to confirm the deal, we can’t wait for the first ads to hit.

HTC One might get delayed due to component Shortage

HTC One was announced just prior to the Mobile World Conference 2013. The Smartphone was being anticipated as the greatest hit of HTC but looks like that might not happen. HTC One is set to be delayed in several Parts of the World due to Component shortage.

The News has reached the market after HTC Delayed the release of the Smartphone in Singapore by almost a month.



HTC might ship only 800,000 to 1,200,000 One smartphones in the coming month. This is mainly  because of the shortage of two components - the voice coil motor and the camera module.

If the HTC One gets delayed, this will be another unfortunate event in the history of HTC who has made some quality devices but they havent been able to capture the market. HTC One will surely suffer like the LG Nexus 4 of Google which has been sold out within days of its availability.

The good news is that US will not be suffering due to this shortfall as HTC has already made it clear that US is its main market. Rest of the countries might get the device as late as June.
