Despite multiple leaks over the last few months that have alluded to its existence, we’ve always known that HTC was going to follow up their new flagship, the HTC One M8, with a ‘mini’ version; these mini versions tend to be smaller, less powerful versions of the flagship device with the only significant similarity being their appearance. Rumours have intensified over the last few days about the appearance of the device which has culminated in the above press render which appears to show the HTC One M8 mini or, as it’s apparently going to be officially known as, the HTC One mini 2.
As you will notice, the device only has a single rear camera, unlike the One M8 which has the dual rear cameras; this is most likely a cost saving measure. You will also notice that HTC has retained the on-screen menu buttons (and that lovely little black bar at the bottom) and it looks like the device will also benefit from Sense 6.0. Rumoured hardware specifications for the device include a quad-core Snapdragon 400, 1GB RAM, 16GB storage, a 4.5-inch 1280×720 resolution display and Android 4.4; if those specs look familar, that would be because they are almost exactly the same as the specs for the 6-month-old Motorola Moto G. For HTC’s sake, I hope it’s priced similarly to the Moto G.
Would you be interested in a HTC One mini 2 if it turns out as the rumours say? Let us know what you think in the comments.
