Hi everyone. Scott Lewis here for Wirefly. Today I’m here to unbox the brand new HTC
One Maxx for Sprint. The HTC One Maxx is the big brother to the regular HTC One and while
it’s sporting a lot of the same technical features, the biggest difference between the
HTC One and the HTC One Maxx is the super large 5.9” 1080P high definition display.
We’ll cover some more specs in a minute. Let’s go ahead and take a look real quick
around the box. It is a Sprint phone, so obviously it comes in the recycled box. It has the Sprint
4G LTE. It tells you a little bit about some specs here. HTC One Maxx. QR code here. Some
more of the things what we’ll find inside the box, but we’ll take at those directly
and a lot of the bar codes. Let’s go ahead and dig in for our HTC One
Maxx for Sprint. This is a massive phone. Let’s pull it out. Set it here. We’ll
pull all the pieces out and then we’ll break them down in a second. Let’s get the box
out of the way; because, it’s a large box. First up we have our start guide and user’s
manuals. Take a look at those. Also with the Sprint phone I expect a recycle bag and we
get all that. We have an HTC sticker, two HTC stickers. The blank for the SIM card and
that’s a micro-SIM card, not a nano-SIM card. Here’s your Sprint recycle bag and
our user’s guide, start guides. Obviously we don’t need those. Next up will be the
charging block. It looks to be an HTC charging block and it plugs in at the front here. I
prefer the ones that plug in at the front versus the side, bottom or top. This is a
1.5 amp charging block. Micro USB charge cable here. It looks to be a decent length. It’s
probably a three foot charge cable, sync cable with a standard HTC logo on the cable there.
Let’s move all that aside. Then we have the HTC One Maxx. Go ahead and
get it out of the plastic here. That is a big phone. I don’t have huge hands, but
that is a super big display. Like I said this is a 5.9” diagonal display, 1080P LCD display.
Right here we have the power. The power button has moved from the top on the regular HTC
to the side here, so we have a power button here. Volume up and down rocker switch. Up
on top our 3.5 mm headphone jack. The infrared remote control blaster. The IR blaster. A
little button here, a little slide switch and what that does is pops the back off. The
back of the HTC One Maxx actually is removable. The battery though is not. It is a 3300 mAH
battery. You can see it’s integrated in. Here’s our micro-SIM card that’s right
there and then it does have expansion for a Micro-SD card, so you can put a Micro-SD
in the HTC One Maxx. This back is aluminum, so the removable back is still a piece of
aluminum. Slide that back on. Now it’s covering. We have a charging cradle connections. This
is our fingerprint scanner, so it has a fingerprint unlock much like the iPhone, but you do have
to roll your finger over it, which kind of has some issues with the camera being right
there. You generally smudge the camera when you go to use the fingerprint reader. The
camera is a four ultra-pixel camera, much like the HTC One. It has all the great features
like Zoe photos and the great camera user interface from the HTC One. Now just a note
that it is a 4 ultra-pixel camera, but a four ultra-pixel, an ultra-pixel actually lets
in 300% more light than a megapixel, so even though it’s a four ultra-pixel camera it
does have high end performance and takes great pictures, especially in low light settings.
Overall weight of the HTC One Maxx is 7.05 ounces. It is sporting a 1.7 gigahertz quad
core Snapdragon 600 processor. It has 2 gigabytes of RAM. You can see the dual stereo speakers
on the front here. Those are HTC boom sound. Let’s see if we can power this on real quick.
We’ll give you a quick look at what the screen looks like all lit up. The HTC One
Maxx is an Android Smartphone. It is running Android 4.3 out of the box and also is layered
with HTC Sense 5.5 right out of the box, so it is a new version of HTC Sense over the
HTC One, but it does still have blinkfeed, so if you’re a blinkfeed fan the HTC One
Maxx also has that. If you’re looking for the HTC One Maxx from
