High-res images of the HTC One Max leak online with rear fingerprint sensor [Update]

High-res images have leaked online that show off the HTC One Max in all its glory. Although this - like the iPhone 5s -also features a fingerprint sensor, the main difference as previously reported, is that it's situated on the back of the device rather than on the front; due to Android’s more open nature we are likely to see a larger number of use cases than just unlocking the phone.

The specs aren't too shabby either, as this is expected to go head to head with the Samsung Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5s as HTC's flagship phone.

Full Specs:

5.9-inch full-HD screen
1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 CPU
2 GB RAM
16 GB internal memory
The same Ultrapixel camera as the HTC One
2.1 MP front shooter
3,300 mAh battery
Connectivity: NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi ac.

Like the HTC One, only time will tell if HTC has made yet another mistake in coming to market well after Samsung and Apple have launched their flagship devices.

There is no details on pricing or availability, although the HTC One Max will be announced tomorrow in China.

Update: HTC have now officially announced the HTC One Max.
