HTC One Max phablet winks from new pictures with possible rear fingerprint scanner

An eventual HTC One Max prototype is on the loose again, people, and this time we see it sized up with the HTC One flanking its sides like point guards around Shaq. Not only that, but what is rumored to be a fingerprint scanner on the back is clearly visible under the rear camera. Still, we don't know yet whether the sensor will make it in the retail version, and what will its purpose of existence there be, other than unlocking the phablet, iPhone 5s style.

In any case, we are also expecting a 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 SoC, a 5.9-inch 1080p Super LCD3 display, UltraPixel camera, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory, microSD-expandable storage, and a rumored 3200 or 3300mAh battery unit - all the markings of flagship tablet, but how exactly HTC plans to differentiate it from the fierce competition in the category this year, remains to be seen.
