Sprint makes it official; HTC One max to launch on November 15th

On Tuesday, we showed you a couple of leaks that pointed toward a November 15th launch for the Sprint flavored HTC One max. One leak came from Sprint itself in reference to a software update that will be available to Sprint HTC One max users as soon as the phone is taken out of the box. In conjunction with that update, Sprint's software support page showed the release date for the phone to be November 15th. And that is also the release date for the Sprint version of the HTC One max that is available from Best Buy's website.

On Thursday morning, LG made it official. Priced at $249.99 with a signed two-year pact, or $25 per month (not including taxes) with Sprint One Up, the HTC One max will launch on November 15th and will be available through "all Sprint sales channels". The handset will feature a fingerprint scanner right below the rear-facing camera. And not only will there be a microSD slot so that users can expand on the 16GB of native storage, HTC has pulled out the stops. That's right folks, the Taiwan based manufacturer is putting a 3000mAh cell in each unit!

HTC will be competing against the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and the Nokia Lumia 1520 in the phablet category which means that the HTC One max price of $249.99 on contract is going to go through plenty of scrutiny.
