We’ve been seeing the rumours for some time and now the HTC One Mini 2 has been official announced. The specs are pretty much as we expected for a mini version of the HTC One M8; a quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor clocked at 1.2GHz, 1GB RAM, 16GB storage, a 4.5-inch 720p display, and a 2,100mAh battery. One of the more intriguing characteristics of the One Mini 2 is the fact that it actually possesses a microSD slot, something that has always been a major criticism of HTC flagship smartphones.
As we also expected, the One Mini 2 will have Sense 6.0 themed Android 4.4, though it’s definitely the cameras that deserve an additional look. While the HTC One M8 had the HTC Duo Camera configuration, the One Mini 2 is ditching that and the UltraPixel technology to simply have a 13MP camera on the rear and a 5MP wide-angle camera on the front. While it’s definitely interesting that HTC actually left its beloved UltraPixel camera out of the One Mini 2, this makes it a genuinely viable device for people who want decent camera and selfie performance. The HTC One Mini 2 is going to be available in three colours to start with including Gunmetal Gray, Glacial Silver and Amber Gold, and is expected to be released in EMEA regions and Asia sometime in June; availability in other regions has not yet been specified and prices have not been divulged.
