Hi guys currently i have a HTC ONE X and my upgrade is due this month. I have been offered 2 deals by o2 to stay with them on my current £26pm package.
New HTC one £30 upfront
or the HTC one X+ for no additional charge
both include unlimited calls / texts and 1gb data.
Which one should i go for and why? i mainly use my phone for music and social networking, with the odd game of 8 ball pool.
- ASR
HTC One X+ has better hardcore gaming (for now but needs root to break free)
HTC One has better low light in camera, HTC One X has better day light
HTC One has better screen
HTC One has better sound on all speakers
HTC One has better battery consumption
Metal vs Polycarbonate, both excellent build your choice
1% difference between the One X and X+
for music and social the One is definitly much better (Thanks to boomsound, Zoe and blinkfeed)
go with the One
Sounds like both of the phones are overpowered for what your phone needs are.

I think reviews have stated the HTC ONE has improved in every area...
I just love the design, interface and specs.
Super excited to get mine

I don't think we can say that just yet. We need a proper comparison first but if you've already found one I'd like to check it out.
Given what the OP said he uses the phone for I would recommend he/she save their money. None of you would recommend a computer that costs 2000$ to someone wanting it for facebook, youtube, and skype specifically, so why would you recommend a newer more expensive phone?

HTC One should be your choice.The Full HD screen and Li-Po battery says all!
Tried both didnt feel that much difference uaing the device itself approx. same speed and performance but that extra 0.2 kicks in while gaming but i really will go with the one

Im coming off of contract soon, and thinking about getting the ONE max. I was wondering how you guys feel about it after owing it for sometime? Im coming from a Verizon Moto X dev. Edition, how much of a shock ( if any ) will I be in with the One max?
Thanks.
I have a note 2 that was incredible. Ran a debloated Rom and got good battery life and excellent stability. Didn't think I would ever part with it. I saw a local craigslist ad for someone that had a factory unlocked for an incredible price so I picked it up. So far it is ok. I like the front facing speakers. Sense takes a bit to get used to. It's pretty smooth and responsive. I rooted and installed custom recovery. Still on stock factory but began debloating myself and it's smooth. There aren't many available Roms but the couple there are seem that they could have potential. I will get around to installing them and making a judgement. Good luck.

Yeah I'm a phone person who swaps phones every few months and sometimes even weeks. So having experience with phones such as the Note 3, G2 and other Android devices, the HTC One Max is right up there with them. The only downfall I can say is the camera. It isn't horrible but I'm not a fan of the Ultra pixels. Other than that I am rooted and running a custom rom and recovery and have Cleanrom installed. Battery is a beast and very responsive.

I bought my One Max with one main objective: Combine the uses I have for my Acer Iconia 10" tablet and HTC Droid Incredible 2 smartphone into one device.
I watch a lot of movies, read a lot of ebooks, and of course talk, text, email. The screen on the one max while a lot smaller than the one on my Icoina is very sharp and clear and being able to play 1080p movies more than makes up for the smaller screen size. For reading ebooks, I just up the font size some and I am still good to go.
Having a screen that is about 2 inches larger than the Incredible 2 makes texting / email, easier, and the google voice talk to text works very well.
The battery life on this thing is incredible. My day starts at 10:30pm and I go to bed around 3:30pm so with 17 hours of the above listed use (and yes I normally watch at least one movie a day) I still have around 28% battery life left when I put it back on the charger.
If I had one gripe, it would be as memtioned earlier, the camera, but then again, this is not a $1200 SLR digital camera. The camera takes decent enough shots, but if you are looking for a good camera that also happens to make phone calls, is able to send / receive text and emails, and can connect to the internet, you may want to look elsewhere, but for the normal photos most of us make, it does not do a bad job of it.
All in all, for me at least, it was a great decision to get a one max and it has met all the goals/expectations I have had for it.
Thanks guys.
I came from using a htc one and a Xperia z ultra. I do miss the Xperia z ultra do wish I held out and got the Xperia z2 though. Its a great phone. Speakers are the best on a current phone. Only things I don't like is the non tablet options. Say being able to view home screen horizontally. Etc. Bit again I am someone who regularly changes phones

I am an advantage club member and got run through the ringer with the g2 I bought. Sprint has agreed to swap out under the 14 day return for any device including the M8 but I will have to wait for it to be available to us
Do I get the one max now, or wait for the M8?

That just depends on your size preference. Obviously the m8 has a lot better hardware but personally I prefer the larger screen. This phone is also plenty fast, has a bigger battery, and a fingerprint scanner.

This. The M8 would be a great device but the screen size just isn't adequate. Not worth the screen compromise for the better specs IMO.
I came from note 3 and will be sticking with one max

Two problems
1st coming off the Samsung galaxy I had gotten used to being able to search the web while I'm on the phone WITHOUT wifi. That can't be done with the HTC ONE MAX.
2nd The silver strip covering the speaker started coming off, and now it has bent. I have been trying to find a replacement one but was only able to find it for the HTC ONE.

Well, I could talk all day about this, but I won't. I'll just say I've had a LOT of phones, everything from PocketPC's from way way back to iPhones to the Galaxy Note 3 and the HTC One Max is my most favorite so far. Great great phone. Big big phone but it actually feels better in the pocket than the squarish Galaxy Note 3. I'm very happy with my One Max. You'll love it!
coming from note 3
this one max is great
the only thing i hate the only 16 gb storage
sound is great
built is great
display is great but not like note 3 .note 3 is more powerful
speed is great
need more roms for my international one max
i love this monster
Go with Note 3, its better. But I am keeping my One Max just because of the speakers and because it is drop dead gorgeous (got the red one).

I own One Max.. With bigger screen 5.9" just good enough when it comes to Waze or any gps tracking apps.. very handy and good specs.. not too big, not too small.. just nice..
Coming from the Note 3. Its a gorgeous device. Am keeping it cause the unmatched audio quality. By the way here in KE everyone owns a Galaxy device. With the One Max, you set your own niche

The Specs of the One Max are not as fast as the Note 3 or the new HTC One (M8).
With that said, the HTC One Max has a bigger battery and screen.
While I was disappointed that the specs were not as good as the above mentioned phone, from experience I can say that the phone is fast enough, without needing to overclock to do everything you need it to do. The only area you would even consider overclocking is to improve performance when playing high demanding 3D games. Even then, what good is more power if the battery dies faster?
Combine this with HTC's powerflip case for an extra 2,000mAH worth of battery capacity and you have one of the most well balanced phones you can get right now.
Everyone always say "I don't know if I want a phone with a screen that large" but once you try it and downgrade to a smaller screen again you do feel the disappointment which means you enjoy having a bigger screen.
Anyone could be happy with this for 1-2 years.
But if you want the best specs, the Note 3 is better, and the HTC One M8 is better in terms of specs also but not as large a screen. I'd highly suggest playing around with the phones in the store before making a decision, because personally I hated Samsung's version of Android (Note 3).
Just wondering how many here have come up from the Standard One X to the One X+?
How are you finding it in terms of Battery and overall performance etc?
Having owned 5-6 standard One X models, mine broke, and was actually looking and bidding on another Standard One X on Ebay, until I came across a One X+ advertised as "As new condition" and it said it came with 6 screen protectors, 2 silicone cases still in wrapping and a Case Mate, also unused and still in it's little clear plastic box.
As the One X without box, in average condition was already at a silly £155 and STILL I was outbid....I thought, Hmmm, this One X+ described as New condition, in box, with all HTC accessories also still bagged etc with all leaflets and manuals etc + all the extras seems to good to be true, as the bidding was at £89.00 with a £118.00 Buy It Now price, lots of bids, but still 2 days til end of auction, so basically I chanced it and clicked 'Buy It Now'
Soon as I did that I thought "oh my god, what have I done?"
Knowing my luck it'll either not come or it'll be WAY over-exaggerated in the Ebay advert, but nope....MINT...still had original HTC cover that comes on the phone when bought new.
It said was locked to Virgin, which is what I didn't want as i'm on the Three network, but turned it on, put in my sim, powered up, worked perfect and was completely unlocked!
If anything the guy WAY UNDER-exaggerated the condition.
Not even the sleeve which wraps around the HTC box had even a spec of dust on it.
Well chuffed.
Custom ROM now installed and even though only had it about 2 weeks.....100% best choice i've ever made....lol.
Performance wise with regards to CPU I can't notice much difference, but was hugely shocked when ran Quadrant and Antutu....massive difference.
And batery life is awesome compared to ANY of my many standard One X models previously owned.

Didn't go for M7 or M8, not coz of cost, but coz I hate the way they look and for some reason, I just can't drag my brain away from HTC, and the fact that the Galaxy range are just plain yukky as in my opinion, the One X and One X+ is the best looker out there. Plus, who the heck needs any more than a 1.7GHz Quad Core??
What's your opinions and experiences if you've come up from the standard One X?

Hey, whatsup there ?
Actually my brother bought one x , after 1-2 months I bought one x+ (Telus) @ 21,000 Indian rupees I.e 220£ but it was unlocked,already rooted,s-off. I don't remember it was stock Rom or not. I installed elegancia Rom with stock kernel, I loved it. It's awesome, battery is really improved a lot . As compared to my bro's one x I have to charge 1-2 per day on heavy usage. But he have to charge 3-4 per day. Even storage is huge 64gb. It's nice .. sometimes he wonders how I am using pro version and doing in-app purchases by (lucky patcher,freedom) . He too wants to root but he fears that warranty would be void. But overall I love my mobile. It's great..
I am looking for an around 6inch phone that runs CM.
The HTC One max is now sold on Amazon.de for around 380€.
Are there any issues with this phone that I should be aware of ? Especially issues with running Cyanogenmod on this phone ?
Would you recommend it to me?
I spent around an hour looking up reviews and going thru xda, but I could not find any obvious dealbreakers.
Any comments or input appreciated.
Thanks
I had some other phones on my list.
But the nexus6 is about 300€ more expensive and has a worse battery life.
The Xperia Z Ultra lacks a flash (really Sony ?).
The Oppo N1 is 100€ more expensive and does not seem offer more.
And about the armada of 5.5inch phones: I am not sure. I kinda want to use it as tablet replacement, too. So bigger is better for me.
U should be fine with this if u are planning to use it for endless media consumption.
The camera sucks or atleast the front camera. I'd go with the note
i would go for meiziu mx4 pro
why not to buy htc one max?
- bad camera
- no viper rom updates
- for sure no android 6 or before version updates ( i think last will be 5.0.2 )
- 2-3x expensive cases - protectors
- if you crash your screen you need to pay %70 of phone's cost for replace

I would wait for HTC One M9 Plus, that's what I'm upgrading to from my M8 when it comes out.
It clearly not a good sign that so many here recommend me another phone. Thanks to all of you for your comments.
The only other phone I consider is the Nexus6. I kinda want an 6inch phone. As I currently dont own a tablet, but I need something to confortable surf and read.
But the Nexus6's battery life ? Reports are quite horrible, combinded with a price tag that would give a sour feeling in the stomach, if I would it replace it before 2 or 3 years of usage. Ehhh...... and the battery life wont be better after 2 years (((

I love my HTC One Max. The camera works fine for what I use it for. The screen is a nice size, the speakers are good quality. If you're worried about a case, buy one on Amazon. I got my Trident case for a little over $10US, & I have a glass screen protector over it. I think you'll be fine with this phone. And the HTC One Plus is a disappointment. It's screen is size is only 5.2 inches. With the exception of not being able to get real cool cases like Carbon Fiber ones, I have no real complaints with this phone.
It's more than 2 years & HTC still has not come out with a legit successor to the One Max. And doesn't look like they have any plans to get back into the phablet game anytime soon. What current or upcoming phablet have you replaced or plan to replace you Max with?
M9+ ...looked like a good option

I looked really hard at the LG V10, but the battery life (or lack thereof) put me off. I wound up getting a Motorola Droid Turbo 2. The screen is smaller, but still works well for for movies which I watch a lot of. Also, it does not have the dual front facing speakers, but I did not really use them on the Max either. I have a good set of earbud headphones. Also, the quick charge feature of the Droid is awesome. From 15% charge to 80% charge in 15-20 min.
when the time comes to replace my max, ill probably get the nexus 6P. if HTC doesn't come up with anything. I think the 6P is what htc should have made as a successor to the max.
i was going to wait until the HTC m10, but seeing as the screen is more than half an inch smaller than the max, i might have to go with Nexus 6P
Just get the news for HTC 10
I think this is the option for me. But still waiting for the details into SIM card. I need to have Dual sim card but in the HTC web site (Singapore) cannot get the details but in the http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_10-7884.php show Single SIM (Nano-SIM) or Dual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by). So waw...
I use p8max now, but still love my One max. It is one of best phones i have had. Battery still great, easy 2days with custom rom

Those were my thoughts exactly. THE 6P is like the successor HTC never made. Metal, big screen, dual speakers, & it even has the fingerprint scanner in the back. Only thing it's missing is expandable storage, but if you get the 128GB model you don't really need it. I feel HTC is making a mistake going away from their dual speaker design & being an iPhone imitator. Hoping they figure things out.
going with the m10. big screens are nice when doing anything on them, but carry the thing around is annoying especially when I have a otter box defender on it. going to be some getting used to on my new 10
HTC 10 or HTC Nexus New2016
HTC 10 or HTC Nexus New2016
This Max has been quite nice but I just wish the cam was better on it cause the rest of the phone kicks @$$ even with Cyanogenmod 13 Beta on it from Flyhalf205:good:. I'm intrigued that HTC hasn't gone back into making Phablets like an M10 MAX or something lol. Oh well I guess I'll go back to Samsung but this time I'm going all in on the Note 6 when it drops lol. I don't know how I'm going to afford it but I'm going to try down the road to get it like probably like 6 months after it comes out or so. hahahha Hopefully I'll be able to find it cheaper than $1000
