Today, HTC Malaysia officially launched the HTC One Max, the phablet version of the award-winning HTC One smartphone. At hand for the launch was SK Wong, Country Manager of HTC Malaysia, Sirpa Ikola, Senior Marketing Director of HTC South Asia and Wayne Tang, Product Marketing Manager of HTC South Asia.

The new HTC One Max features a massive 5.9" full HD display with 2 GB of RAM and a 1.7 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor, and will ship with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and HTC Sense 5.5.

Although HTC will offer the new HTC One Max with 16 GB or 32 GB of flash storage, HTC Malaysia will only bring in the 16 GB model. Yes, you read that right - there won't be a 32 GB model, at least in Malaysia. This is because the HTC One Max addressed one complaint that many users have with the HTC One and the follow-up HTC One Mini - the inability to upgrade its built-in flash storage. The new HTC One Max comes with a microSD card slot hidden under the removable back panel.
