We've seen the HTC One and the HTC One with a Nexus experience, and now it's time for a stripped down version of HTC's flagship phone with the HTC One Mini.
Similar to Samsung's habit of releasing 'miniature' versions of its top phone, HTC is bringing a 4.3-inch version of the HTC One to select countries in August with a global rollout in September. The company did not announce pricing, carrier details, or when the U.S. might be seeing this latest HTC special.
Overall, the HTC One Mini is only slightly smaller than its larger counterpart, and the two phones look remarkably similar. The Mini's aforementioned 4.3-inch display is just a tad smaller than the HTC One's 4.7-inch screen, and its screen resolution is also down a notch from the original One's 1080p screen, clocking in at 720p.
Smaller on the inside, too
HTC didn't provide full specs for the new phone, but based on the specs HTC did share and hands-on reports from around the Web, other downgraded specs for the Mini include 16GB of onboard storage, down from the larger's 32GB and 64GB choices. Other internals were nerfed in translation as well: The Mini will have 1GB RAM, a dual-core 1.4GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, and a 1.6 megapixel front-facing camera. The Mini is also missing the larger version's IR blaster that let you use the HTC One as a universal remote.
