HTC One mini 2 announced for Asian and European markets

The HTC One mini 2 takes many of the features and a lot of the design direction from the HTC One (M8) but scales down some specs, size and functionality to appeal to the midrange of the market. Announced for Asia and Europe (no North American variants as of yet), the HTC One mini 2 features a 4.5-inch screen, a quad-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 processor, 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage but expandable via a microSD slot. Other big features are a 13 megapixel camera and a large 2100 mAh battery. The HTC One mini 2 is likely one of the more premium devices in the "mini variant" smartphone space.

Leaks of HTC One Mini 2 emerge

Renders of the mini version of HTC One M8 have surfaced online. What are the differences and similarities with its flagship brother? It will reportedly (and obviously) sport less powerful specs and a lower display. The One Mini 2 will also not have the dual-sensor Duo Camera and dual LED flash and will have a different position for the sensors and power button. It will have the metal body but will have a plastic rim around the screen and on top. The color palette seems to be similar to the One M8, too, with brushed silver, gold, and gunmetal options. Other than that, there isn’t any additional information yet. We’d still have to wait for official confirmation from HTC about this smartphone. What do you think? Will you buy a One Mini 2 if and when it comes out?
