HTC One Max And The Galaxy Note 3 Side By Side
A set of recently released images shows the HTC One Max and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 side by side, offering potential customers a size and design comparison of the two devices. The HTC One Max is rumored to be released with a very large display of 5.9 inches and it will compete directly with the Samsung’s phabelt the Galaxy Note 2. HTC’s ucpoming phabelt based on its flagship, the HTC One,will be released during this year’s fourth quarter. According to rumors, the HTC One Max will keep a good portion of HTC One’s specs, such as a full HD display (1920 × 1080 pixels). It will run Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and it will feature a new version of HTC’s Sense user interface, the HTC Sense 5.5. The HTC One Max design seems to borrow elements from the HTC One and from the HTC One mini.
It is speculated that HTC will release the HTC One Max on all major markets, including of course the United States where it is speculated that it will be carried (among others) by Sprint. As we already mentioned, the upcoming phablet from HTC will feature a very large display (5.9 inches) and it is going to be a direct competitor to Samsung’s recently unveiled phablet, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. HTC wants a piece of the phablet market share, that it currently dominated by Samsung with its Galaxy Note line. The recently released images represent a first look at how the HTC One Max compares to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, even before the phablets’ release dates.
A Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website) user offers us the first look at the how the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 compares with the HTC One Max from a design point of view, but also at how the second generation Galaxy Note compares to the HTC One Max. The images show that the HTC One Max is bigger in size than both the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has a 5.5 inch display and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has a 5.7 inch display, both being smaller than the 5.9 inch display featured by the HTC One Max. As mentioned, it seems that the HTC One Max is bigger in size than both Galaxy Note phablets, so it must be over 168 grams and 8.3 mm thick (these being Samsung Galaxy Note 3′s dimensions).
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the HTC One Max will be direct competitors on the phablet markets, even though the third generation Galaxy Note will e released first. The Galaxy Note 3 is expected to be launched in over 140 countries just three days from now (on September 25th), while United States customers will be able to buy the latest phablet in the Galaxy Note series next month, on October 1st.
HTC is going to have a hard time competing against the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, as the Galaxy Note is an established brand of phablets that offers high end specs and features, such as a bundled S Pen stylus, a very fast CPU, a very good camera sensor and faux leather back among others.
