HTC One is probably one of the best built android smartphones out there and so HTC decided to bring out a smaller version and bigger version of it – HTC One Mini and HTC One Max respectively. The trend of stripped down mini version of flagship phones continues with the HTC One Mini which HTC announced in July, but the phone has been available only recently.
HTC One Mini borrows its design language from the company’s current flagship – HTC One with a solid Aluminum build unibody. However, unlike the HTC One, the sides of HTC One Mini are made of plastic.The list of inherited features include the UltraPixel camera without OIS(Optical Image Stabilization), HTC Sense 5 UI with BlinkFeed and HTC BoomSound.
