The smart looking device is available in four colours – Titanium Gray, Sand Gold, Glacier Silver and Rose Gold. The max has a 5.2-inch HD IPS display on the front with a contoured 2.5D glass on it. Speaking of dimensions, the phone measures 149.5mm in length, 73.7mm in width and 8.55mm thick. There are three touch capacitive buttons under the screen. The fingerprint sensor has been placed on the rear under the main camera.
