According to sources a device that could be construed as the HTC One M8 max could be announced before Christmas.
This comes from reliable sources that have given us solid HTC material in the past.

Specs include a Snapdragon 805  5.5 inch display and according to sources could be HTC first QHD display on a handheld.

Sources say the project was pushed back with an HTC Wearable but that both could be launched this year.

Stay tuned as this is developing.
We will be posting renders from the supposed device shortly.
