HTC One Max name confirmed; phablet heading to Sprint

A tweet from @evleaks confirms that the name of the HTC One styled phablet will be the HTC One Max. The unit, originally code named the T6, will be heading to Sprint, according to the reliable source. An earlier tweet from the same source had the phablet also coming to AT&T. The Taiwan based manufacturer has already released its bite-sized version of the HTC One, the HTC One mini, on AT&T in the states.

The HTC One Max, which is rumored to contain a fingerprint sensor (oddly appropriate today), is believed to have a 5.9 inch Super LCD-3 screen with resolution of 1080 x 1920. That works out to a pixel density of 342ppi. A quad-core 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 is under the hood while 2GB of RAM is on board. A high capacity, for HTC, 3200mAh battery will keep the lights on.

Keep in mind that HTC still needs to make this official. The HTC One Max will be facing plenty of competition upon its birth from the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, the Sony Xperia Z Ultra, and possibly the Nokia Lumia 1520. The latter, also unannounced, is expected to be available next quarter and would be the first phablet powered by Windows Phone. This model is expected to be introduced at the end of this month with a 6 inch screen, 2GB of RAM, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor inside, and the GDR3 update.
