Just bcuz apple has it , most ppl will think Apple is a pioneer and the rest of the world copied them . Biasa la . Fingerprint such a common features in japanese 2013 Docomo phones and like u said , Atrix have it 2 years ago . Look at Siri last time when it first came out and then S Voice . Then , fanboys were saying Samsung did it again as well , copying Siri . Little did they realize , vlingo was out in android like in 20110 end but not many knows about it . I still remember using it in my Dell Streak and S1 then .

Camera wise , it's acceptable but cant be compared to Z1 . If camera is a concern , Z1 is much much better

3 reasons I can think of

1 - Price
2 - Hardware . Most people feel S600 is outdated but then again , what's the point of having even S805 is manufacturers cant get this software right . Look at Z1 , all the latest spec as of last year yet , IMO , it's a rubbish . Battery sucks for a 3000mah battery, I can say I it's 60% of my G2 , washed out screen and the camera r over rated .
3 - A lot of users are skeptical over HTC products after so many problems with HTC One eg Purple tint , bad service from distributor , etc

it's not G2 power , it's Z1 that is bad for a 3000mah . Anyway , if u wanna discuss , go to G2 thread , this is after all One Max thread .

For ? I'm giving an example here cuz battery life really sucks for a 3000mah compared to other 3000mah phones for my heavy usage . Dont butt hurt if u r using Z1 , u guys can go make believe it's the best phone there is , it's up to u guys . And I havent start to comment on the washed out screen .

Exactly . Users had complaint about it during Xperia Z , they improved and made a great screen on Xperia ZU yet for a flagship that is newer then XZU , it goes backward instead of forward . Like I said , i used the phone only for a while and that was back in Oct/Nov . Fact wise , based on my usage , just on whatsapps connected via Wifi + 1 song trf via BT , i cant even get 7 hours without battery going flat . Screen on Time around 1 hour . This the last copy of my screenshot of Z1 on the day I took and decided , I'm getting rid of it even b4 my extended battery pack arrives , rest are deleted or somewhere .



And compare it to Note 3 , bigger screen , full 0.7" bigger yet with an additional of 200mah difference in battery , I dont see why the battery life is so much different



And as for HTC One Max , battery life is as good as note 3 . Sorry I dont have an screen shot 2 prove it as my mum "confiscated" it during CNY since she finds it easy to read on a big screen and also cuz it's red , taiwan edition . Anything more , just pm me . We wasted enough post talking something non-related .

They do now uncle , what also they carry . LG , Motorola , HTC , etc . And ya , black seems to be available for a while . Got this pic for a used One Max in mudah .






Brandstar OR Brightstar ? Brandstar is their AP company while Brightstar , u know it . However , there r occasion people do make mistakes cuz it sounds almost alike
