Nexus 5 vs HTC One (Video)

Posted on November 7, 2013 by Michael Fisher

One of these devices is a unibody aluminum flagship launched almost a year ago, a hardware showboat built to bring unique audio and optical features to the Android world. The other is a minimalistic slab of “hardcore plastic” with the specs of a superphone but the price of a budget model, its entire purpose to showcase the very best of Google’s handheld products and services. So why are these devices, so far apart in time and targeting, being brought together for this comparison? Because ...

Pocketnow Weekly 067: iPad Air, Lumia 1520, and corporate trollery galore

Posted on October 24, 2013 by Michael Fisher

Fun fact: flame wars, petty bickering, and troll hijinks aren’t just confined to the online world; they find a ready home in corporate tactics as well. That’s a reality we were reminded of this week, as Apple announced its new iPad family on the same day Nokia unveiled not just its first Windows-based tablet, but also the first-ever Windows Phone phablets, at its Nokia World event in Abu Dhabi. Predictably, the Apple news obliterated Nokia’s announcement in the news cycle – but, the Pocketnow Weekly being a platform-agnostic, equal-opportunity podcast, we’re ...

Android 4.3 with Sense 5.5 begins to reach the HTC One today

Posted on October 24, 2013 by Jaime Rivera

Yes, we agree, it’s not fair that the HTC One max gets all the fun of Android 4.3 and the new version of HTC Sense 5.5. Obviously we know that the flagship is the HTC One, and lucky for those of you with international models, that changes today.

HTC One max vs HTC One (Video)

Posted on October 16, 2013 by Michael Fisher

You might say this comparison is unnecessary. After all, most people don’t need help deciding whether to buy a smartphone or a refrigerator door, right? Given the choice between a standard-sized handheld and a beastly monolith, most folks can tell pretty quickly which they prefer. But it’s not that simple. HTC’s One is one of the most visible, most well-regarded smartphones of the year - and so it would follow, in the mind of the mythical average consumer, that something called the “One ...

HTC One max review: the behemoth cometh

Posted on October 15, 2013 by Michael Fisher

“Excuse me – is that a phone or a tablet?” “That doesn’t fit in your pocket, does it?” “That must be one of them new ‘phablets,’ huh?” “What … what is that thing?” Carrying the HTC One max for the past seven days has been an exercise in patience – patience with the curious public. Like Samsung’s first Galaxy Note, and the LG ...

HTC One max: part of HTC’s winning strategy

Posted on October 15, 2013 by Joe Levi

Today all the news seems to be about the HTC One max. Some love it, others hate it. Taken as a whole, the newest device from HTC seems like nothing more than a big version of their old flagship. And that’s okay HTC has found a form-factor that looks good, functions well, and is very obviously scalable between small and large — at least when we’re talking about smartphones. Many will tell you that it’s simply not enough. They’ll say that HTC needed to pour ...

The HTC One max might be dead on arrival, here’s why

Posted on October 14, 2013 by Jaime Rivera

There’s a reality behind every single successful product that has ever existed: they’ve all served a purpose. It could be the most trivial of things, like a $1 game that could entertain you so well, and yet be so inexpensive, that people just flocked to buy it, to more complicated things, like mixing the luxury of a sedan with the suspension of a truck to give you an SUV. Regardless if its entertainment or utility, products succeed when they either satisfy a need, or create a desire. I still remember walking the streets of Barcelona in 2012 with Tony, and seeing so many of the ...
