Last month HTC unveiled its much-anticipated One Max, as a dramatically upscaled variant to the immensely popular high-end Android-powered smartphone, the HTC One, and now Verizon have officially announced that the phablet is available to purchase on any of its 2-year contracts starting at $299 or for $25.22 a month with Verizon’s very own Edge plan.

The One Max is a very respectable smartphone, which packs a 5.9-inch Super LCD3 capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 1080 x 1920, a 1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor, an Adreno 320 GPU, 2GB of RAM, 16GB/32GB of internal storage (expandable up to 64GB via microSD), a 4-megapixel rear-facing camera and an impressive 3,300 mAh non-removable Li-Po battery.

Out of the box, the handset will run the latest build of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, skinned with HTC’s Sense 5 UI. In addition, the One Max ships with all the usual software features that you’d expect from any high-end HTC smartphone, including Zoe and dual front-facing BoomSound speakers enhanced with Beats Audio.
