Rumor Mill: HTC One Max, Galaxy of metal and the LG G2

Today we have for you the first pictures of the HTC Max One Then a Samsung patent from 2011 has surfaced, offering a first look at an alternative or even the future design and stresses that Samsung(Samsung Galaxy Case) has not ever before, on plastic to set. And who had hoped that the upcoming LG flagship G2 has a fingerprint scanner, will probably be disappointed.
 
HTC One Max: First pictures surfaced
It is expected the big brother of HTC One in September. Final specifications we approach already for a while to. The current state provides:
ProcessorQualcomm Snapdragon 800, 2.3 GHz
Memory2 GB of RAM
Display5.9-inch, 1080p, Super LCD 3
Internal memory16 GB + microSD slot
Battery3,300 mAh
Operating systemAndroid 4.3

 
There are now also finally images. Who here expects surprises, will be disappointed. Even more: Apparently the One Max has the same polycarbonate frame as the Mini One. This is surprising because it had explicitly told me at HTC (though hardly credible, see my first impression of the One Mini), so that the mini has only a plastic frame, because it was not without in small size to build. Apparently this is true then probably for pretty much any size except that of the original HTC one(Galaxy S I9000 Cases) ...
 
Our assessment: On the pictures there is nothing wrong. Something else we did not expect. Also, the release date in September makes sense, since the IFA finally finds place where some manufacturers (Samsung, Sony and more) to introduce their next big equipment.
Galaxy series: In the future, no more plastic?
Long war rages the friends and enemies of polycarbonate, which is Samsung's most popular lawyer on the internet and in the tech press. If there is one aspect that is almost universally criticized the Galaxy devices, it is next to the little imaginative design policy, the choice of materials. A patent from the year 2011 and 2012 now shows that the Koreans have long to think about material changes. Even a slightly squarer design is indicated here.
 
Our assessment: We had already reported that the 3.0 design era - that is, all devices on the Galaxy Note 3 - will make at Samsung with polycarbonate end. In at least advise. Such far-reaching changes have always known, a longer lead time, and so is the time frame is not as far-fetched as it may seem. Overall, it is believable that Samsung(Galaxy S4 I9500 Screen protector) in the medium term adopted from plastic and there-oriented, where the celebrated designs are now: metal or aluminum. Nevertheless, it is only a source and I would not give too much on the here indicated forms. As can happen a lot.
LG G2: Nano-SIM and no fingerprint scanner
Fingerprint scanners are mentioned more often lately, and recently we reported that both Samsung and Apple are pushing in this direction, but have problems in mass production. What may have plans for whatever LG, the button on the back of G2 between the volume buttons, apparently is not a fingerprint scanner, but a power button. This emerges from a manual of G2, which has now become public. We can see this also, that the G2, just like the iPhone 5 and the Moto X, is based on a nano-SIM card.
 
Our assessment: Whether these operating now is authentic or not is impossible to say. This is less important than the fact that fingerprint scanners can not be expected, in fact. Still, the technology paves the manufacturers too many difficulties, and the G2 is certainly so long in the making that one must assume that it is "old" for this trend. Moreover, we have seen no reliable evidence, not even in the video that there were already about the device that made us believe in fingerprint scanner.
