"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.
The HTC One Max specs rumors and photo leaks have shown the device featuring a fingerprint sensor.
One of the recently leaked images specifically shows the handset with the back cover removed so viewers can get a better look at the fingerprint sensor on the device.
The component was shown in previous pictures as a small black square underneath the camera. It could have easily been a sticker or something else placed there to confuse viewers. However, this set of leaks shows that the first assumptions were correct for thinking this was a fingerprint reader.
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.
