I loved my HTC One and sold it in anticipation of the Nokia Lumia 1520 and the HTC One Max. However, once I read the initial reviews of the One Max, I decided that I most likely would not be making that purchase. The primary reasons:
1) The loss of Beats Audio. Granted a lot of the Beats mystique is marketing hype, but the HTC One had, by far, the best sound of any device streaming over Bluetooth in my car.
2) The lack of unibody aluminum construction. That build quality of the One was head and shoulders better than the competition in the Android marketplace (at the time, as Sony has released some fantastic smartphones that feel good in the hand and others manufacturers – Samsung not included – are upping their game). However, the plastic trim around the handset has been nearly universally panned and is a significant departure from the HTC One from which it was derived.
I’ll reserve final judgement until I can look, touch, smell and taste the handset “in the flesh”, but having had a chance to play with a demo 1520 at the local AT&T Store, I can say that Nokia has really got their act together and I’ll most likely be getting a 1520 as opposed to a One Max.
I agree that those points were disappointing to learn about the Max; if it were truly just a larger HTC One, I would be so tempted. =/
