For quite some time now we have been hearing rumors about HTC’s first ever phablet, the HTC One Max. There have already been many leaks and rumors, the device has even been cloned in China despite the fact that HTC hasn’t even officially announced it yet. No one knows right now when HTC will be making this announcement, if a subtle hint from HTC’s Chief Marketing Officer is taken in to consideration, there’s a possibility that HTC One Max release will take place in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Focus Taiwan reports that HTC CMO Ben Ho says that the company is going to release “a variant of its flagship One series in the fourth quarter.” The only other variant of HTC One that had been rumored is the HTC One Mini, which the company has already released. So all signs point towards what is said to be an enlarged HTC One. The company does seem to be gearing up for a new launch, it has kicked off a new marketing campaign reportedly worth $1 billion with Robert Downey Jr. It has also dropped clues about what the upcoming variant might be. So unless they’ve worked on something completely different, it can be assumed that HTC One Max release is going to take place in Q4, 2013.
