HTC One Max now getting its Android Lollipop update in some regions

Released back in October 2013, the One Max isn't among HTC's most popular handsets of recent years, but some people certainly still use it. If you're one of them, you'll probably be happy to find out that HTC is now pushing an official Android 5.0 Lollipop update (with Sense 6.0 UI) to the One Max.

According to multiple users, the Lollipop update is now rolling out (over the air) in select European and Asian markets, including France, Italy, Poland, Czech Republic, and Taiwan. We assume that the update will also be available to One Max users in the US, where the device was sold by Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint. However, since we're talking about carrier-branded versions of the handset, it might take a while before the update is ready.

The One Max is HTC's largest Android smartphone to date, thanks to the fact that it sports a 5.9-inch display with 1080 x 1920 pixels. It's also HTC's first smartphone to have a fingerprint scanner (situated on the back, just below the 4 MP UltraPixel camera). That aside, the One Max features a quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor, 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of expandable storage space, and a 3300 mAh battery.
