HTC announced the mini version of their flagship back in July, but it has been available only recently. HTC One was a flagship known for its exceptional build quality and Boom sound speakers on the front of the device which have been retained in the HTC One Mini. HTC One Mini, as the name suggests is a smaller version of the company’s flagship with slightly stripped down specifications. Apart from the build and the downgraded specifications, the HTC One Mini also retains the 4MP UltraPixel camera from the One, but without OIS(Optical Image Stabilization).

HTC promoted their flagship – HTC One with UltraPixel camera as it was expected to take great low-light photographs, but the camera on HTC One was rather disappointing.
