According to the company, the One Max will be unveiled at a press conference in China today (October 15th). However, information regarding the Android-powered phablet is already in the public domain.<\/p>\n<p>The product, which is a larger version of the brand&#8217;s flagship <a style=\"color: #00a9c7;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wrappz.com\/skins\/phone-skins\">HTC One<\/a>, features a fingerprint scanner &#8211; following in the footsteps of Apple with its latest <a style=\"color: #00a9c7;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wrappz.com\/skins\/phone-skins\/iphone-skins\/iphone-5-5s\">iPhone 5s model<\/a> &#8211; as well as a 5.9-inch screen.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wrappz.com\/skins\/phone-skins\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wrappz.com\/blog\/wrappz-blog-images\/2014\/10\/htc-one-max-phablet.jpg\" alt=\"htc one phone skin\" width=\"460\" height=\"276\" align=\"right\" \/><\/a>HTC bosses said the company had opted to abandon restrictions placed on information about the One Max after a journalist broke an embargo placed on its specifications.<\/p>\n<p>Its inclusion of a fingerprint scanner will see the handset become the first Android smartphone of its kind to go on sale in the UK since the iPhone 5s last month, which includes a similar feature.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>A statement released by HTC said:<\/strong> &#8220;The fingerprint scanner allows users to lock or unlock the screen and quickly launch up to three favourite applications by assigning an individual finger to each.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consumers who are concerned about the safety of the product can rest assured, as the company added:<\/strong> &#8220;The fingerprint data is encrypted and stored in local memory and can&#8217;t be readily accessed or copied. The fingerprint data cannot be easily converted into any other form or used by a third party.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The HTC One was well-received in international markets upon its release, however, <a style=\"color: #00a9c7;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wrappz.com\/skins\/phone-skins\/samsung-galaxy-skins\">the Samsung Galaxy 4S<\/a> proved to be a more popular choice among members of the public.<\/p>\n<p>It was the Samsung Smartphone\u2019s success that contributed to HTC&#8217;s announcement of its first ever quarterly loss earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>Official data released by the firm announced a deficit of just under three billion Taiwan dollars (\u00a362 million) between July and September 2013.
