It’s Official, The HTC One Max Is In Town For RM2,499 – Battery Cover Not Included

Today, HTC launched its first Phablet here in Malaysia, the HTC One Max and just like what was speculated, it will retail for RM2,499. The rather luxurious price is for the 16GB version of the device and HTC have said that there are no plans to bring in the 32GB version of the device. Disappointingly, HTC have also confirmed that the battery cover will be a separate purchase with no plans of bundling them and will retail for “about RM300”. Unfortunately, the cover will not be available now, rather at a later date.

We can’t say we are happy with this price nor with the fact that its not bundled with one of the most interesting things about the device. In fact, the Lumia 1020, at RM2,499 is probably a better buy with the camera grip bundled in.

If you’re in the market for the One Max anyway, the guys over at storekini have a great deal for you: For about RM100 off the retail price, the HTC One Max will be going for RM2,388!
