Great HTC Phablet!

 

Mar 10, 2015 by 166cresskill

After using the HTC One Max, this phone is a breath of fresh air. While it is almost the same size, it feels great in the hand, and is far less unwieldy. The internet is quick, the camera is excellent, and the sound quality is stunning. The battery is one of the best that I have seen on an HTC Phone. The camera is good, but could be better in low light, and the lack of image stabilization for the camera, is a drawback. Otherwise, this is the best phone Virgin Mobile has ever offered. I only wish they got the white version as well. To bad the other carriers did not get this device. Pros: Great size, performance, and usability. Cons: Lack of image stabilization, low light camera performance.

Great Value For The $$

 

Jan 18, 2015 by terry0197

I recently purchased this phone as an upgrade on Virgin Mobile account. The phone runs on the Sprint 3G and 4G networks. The phone has an incredible huge 5.5" screen. The display is outstanding, crisp and clear. The camera takes high quality pictures, and the user interface is easy to use while at the same time offering so many options for taking the picture that it will satisfy most users. While running on Virgin Mobile, the signal is strong in my area. I get 4 to 5 bars almost everywhere. Call clarity is crisp and clear. The phone also has speakers for music on the top and bottom. They are loud and sound great. The phone has slots on the right side for the SIM card and SD card that are covered by a thick rubber strip. I wasn't a fan of this at first, but now I have no issues with it.

PROS:

* Quad-core processor
* 1.5 GB of system RAM
* 5.5 inch HD screen
* Stereo speakers
* Bigger battery than most smartphones
* Supports 64 GB SD cards
* 4.5 GB of internal storage

CONS:

* Battery Drain - Phone gets around a day of use on my settings of low brightness, and all HTC custom options turned off
* Charging time - Phone takes over 2 hours to completely charge
