HTC's oversized One Max (pictures)

With a massive 5.9-inch 1080p HD LCD screen, the HTC One Max has a large visual canvass to work with.

On back of the HTC One Max is a fingerprint scanner, right below the main camera lens.

Tipping the scales at almost 8 ounces, the mostly metal chassis is very heavy, big, and hard to handle.

Framing the HTC One Max's screen are two stereo speakers which get mighty loud.

A switch on the One Max's left side releases the lock for the phone's back panel.

The bottom edge of the HTC One Max holds a Micro-USB port for charging and transferring files.

Unlike the HTC One, the HTC One Max has a power button separate from its IR blaster. You'll find it, and volume controls, on the phone's right side.

On board the HTC One Max is a camera app that's jam-packed with settings and extra shooting modes.

Sadly, the HTC One Max's fingerprint reader often ran into trouble.
