We bare the htc one mini: features, price and availability

It's a fad: the famous mini versions of the most popular gadgets are here to stay. And it is totally normal. The fact that your most famous phone has a more affordable version, makes the user believe that it has the latest but a little cheaper. An illusion that Apple has not yet risen with its iPhone but that it has done with its iPad and with very good results.

Another example of this is Samsung, which offers mini versions of its Galaxy S and sells them as if they were churros. But today is the time to focus on another competitor and put the two fashion companies aside. HTC One is right now the top that HTC offers its customers. So it does not hurt to offer a somewhat reduced price version with somewhat lower characteristics. The important thing in these cases is to ask yourself if it really is worth saving a little in order to sacrifice benefits.

HTC One Mini, the small bare version

Perhaps it is only fair to compare this model with the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini instead of with its older brother. As you will see, HTC with this version has done a great job compared to Samsung.

The screen has a great 1280 x 720 resolution with a density of almost 342 dpi. It has a diagonal of 4.3 inches. As for the screen, this model is fully approved and with note. A good image quality, a good resolution and without a doubt, a good size.

The heart of this HTC is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, a dual-core processor that runs at 1.4 GHz per core with a memory of 1 GB for RAM and about 16 GB of storage without the possibility of expanding it. With a camera with 4-megapixel Ultrapixel technology and HTC Zoe functionality and a 1.6-megapixel front, both record in HD and thus complete the photographic equipment of HTC One Mini.

Other important aspects that we must highlight: LTE connectivity and a 1, 800 mAh battery. Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system that comes with the HTC Sense layer for the graphical environment and interface.

Availability and price and some conclusions

If we compare it to the mini version of Samsung's flagship, it is certainly a much better phone. It stands out above all its screen, of a quality much higher than that of its rival and with a camera with better technologies.

Regarding its price and availability. It is a little more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, we are talking about € 499 and it is expected to be launched internationally in September.
