HTC One Mini Specification and Features Review

Just weeks after we put the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini through its paces, we're looking at the HTC One mini, another attempt to shrink a flagship down into a smaller package. The 4.3-inch mini looks much like the full-sized version and goes for both the hardware and software. However, a few hardware drawbacks compared to the original, with the IR blaster, optical image stabilization on the camera and NFC stripped out for space- and cost-saving reasons. So much of the power from the HTC One in a shrunken design - a brilliant phone that gets a lot right. We're excited about the prospect of the HTC One Mini, as it's a handset with all the best bits of the HTC One without as much of the cost. It still uses Boom Sound for amazing audio, the Ultrapixel camera is present and correct and even the underground hit, BlinkFeed, makes a welcome appearance to the mix. The screen on the HTC One Mini is a real stunner and should be a consideration point for anyone thinking about buying this phone.

Price of HTC One Mini

The price of the HTC One Mini is also pretty palatable: while the £330-£380 off contract price is a little steep, it still seems wholly fair for what you're getting. Of course, we'd like to see all this packed into a £100 device, but it's not going to happen. The contract price is around £25-£28, which is also pretty decent, and you're getting far more than 75% of the One for the equivalent cost.
