Design and features
The One mini keeps the look of the HTC One, with an aluminum unibody, slim profile and tapered edges. It carries over BoomSound, with dual front stereo speakers and Beats Audio, and BlinkFeed, a home screen that gathers social updates, news and photos in one stream. The UltraPixel camera claims to capture far more light than a traditional sensor, and HTC Zoe turns moments into short videos with automatic highlight reels.
Our read at the time
The original post called it a solid mid-level phone with a great screen and camera, though the fixed storage and small battery were concerns. A competitive price would make it appealing.
Availability
HTC said the phone would launch in select markets in August and roll out globally from September. The original post then added that HTC’s Canadian contact confirmed the phone would not be sold in Canada, so interested buyers would have to look online. The post noted that plans can change, as happened with the Xperia Z.
