At the end of last month, a really nice image of the HTC One Max leaked that showed a fingerprint scanner. Now we have yet another image that confirms it, and we also get an idea of how it compares in size to the smaller HTC One.

With Apple announcing their own version of a fingerprint scanner for the iPhone 5S, this means the two operating systems will feature it. The only problem for Android is the One Max isn't going to be a high profile device. Not only is HTC suffering when it comes to sales, this phone is a niche product, which further dampens things.

What's also interesting is Apple's scanner is on the front of the device, while HTC chose to place it on the back of the device. Apparently HTC agrees with LG's belief that most people naturally place their finger at the back of the device.

The One Max will be a beast for sure with a 5.9-inch 1080p display and the Snapdragon 800. We still don't know when they will announce it or when it will be available, so stay tuned.
