Those in the international market will receive Sense 5.5 with Android 4.3 right away, according to the report.
The HTC One Max will be released sometime soon through Sprint.
The dependable @evleaks tweeted out a few statements announcing the phablet's existence and Sprint release earlier this week.
The site confirmed that the HTC T6 that has been showing up in various leaks is actually the One Max.
"HTC One max confirmed as retail name of the T6," tweeted @evleaks. "HTC One max is Sprint-bound."
AndroidAuthority says its sources have confirmed that the device will be released sometime in October.
The company's Chief Marketing Officer Ben Ho confirmed last month that HTC is working on a variant of the One without mentioning that is was the Max model. He also stated that HTC will focus on fewer products this year in order to correct the confusion they caused in 2012.
Ho stated that the company would launch "two to three mid-tier Desire-branded phones" by the end of the year, as well as "a variant of the flagship One series in the fourth quarter." This variant will most likely be the One Max.
Other rumored specs for the device include a 5.9-inch display with 1920x1080 resolution, the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor which clocks in at 2.3GHz, 2GB RAM, a 4-ultrapixel camera, Boomsound dual front-facing stereo speakers, and a 3,3000 mAh non-removable Li-poly battery, according to Android Police.
