While it may not have all the bells and whistles of modern smartphones, the MAX 4G still remains a popular and highly functional device for users.
A Step Back in Time
The MAX 4G was announced in November 2008 and released the following year by HTC. At the time, it was considered a top-of-the-line device with impressive features and specifications. It ran on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, an operating system that has since been replaced by newer versions. However, for its time, this was considered a powerful and efficient OS.
Sleek Design with Impressive Dimensions
Weighing only 151g and with a thickness of 13.9mm, the MAX 4G boasted a lightweight and slim design. It also had a 3.8 inch, TFT resistive touchscreen with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels and TouchFLO 3D finger swipe navigation. These features allowed for a user-friendly interface and smooth navigation experience.
In addition, the MAX 4G had handwriting recognition, making it easier for users to take notes and send messages without having to type on the small touchscreen keyboard.
Fast and Efficient Performance
The MAX 4G was equipped with a Qualcomm ESM7206A chipset and a 400 MHz ARM 11 CPU. It also had an Adreno 130 GPU, providing fast and efficient performance for its time. The device had 288MB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, with the option to expand it using a microSD card.
Connectivity and Multimedia Features
One of the standout features of the MAX 4G was its WiMAX connectivity. It also had Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities, as well as GPS and A-GPS for navigation purposes. Unfortunately, it did not have a radio.
The device also had a 3.15 MP rear camera and a VGA videocall camera. It could record videos at a resolution of CIF@30fps. The MAX 4G also had a loudspeaker and a 3.5mm jack for music and video playback.
In terms of other features, the MAX 4G had Yota Mobile WiMAX for fast internet browsing, Yota TV for entertainment, and Pocket Office for productivity. It also had voice memo and predictive text input for easy messaging and note-taking.
Powerful Battery Life
The MAX 4G ran on a removable Li-Ion 1500 mAh battery, which provided up to 350 hours of standby time and 7 hours of talk time. This allowed for extended use without frequent recharging.
Other Features and Tests
The MAX 4G came in the color black and was priced at approximately 310 EUR. Some of the other features included an accelerometer and proximity sensor, as well Voice 70dB / Noise 80dB / Ring 66dB tests and an impressive audio quality of Noise -85.2dB and Crosstalk -75.0dB.
In Conclusion
The MAX 4G may be considered outdated by today's standards, but it remains a reliable and powerful device for its time. Its sleek design, efficient performance, and impressive features make it a beloved device by many. It is still a testament to HTC's commitment to creating innovative and functional devices for its users.
