HTC One Mini 2 - Sim Free Smartphone - Grey

Product Information

The One Mini 2 is still a gorgeous smartphone, though, and undoubtedly a better-looking effort than the original One Mini. The rear cameras of mobile devices use mainly a LED flash. It may arrive in a single, dual- or multi-light setup and in different arrangements. The display resolution shows the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. The higher the resolution is, the greater the detail of the displayed content. Information about the sensor type of the camera. Some of the most widely used types of image sensors on mobile devices are CMOS, BSI, ISOCELL, etc.

Perhaps the original One is cheaper too where you are, which is doing the One mini 2 no favor - especially considering it's hard to say which one's the mini in that pair. The honeymoon will soon be over and HTC wouldn't want potential buyers, who are always looking around anyway, to start fooling around. Another season, another flagship, another mini in tow. Guess we all know the drill but HTC had quite a few decisions to make. To begin with, they went for a bigger screen, placing the mini 2 right between the original and last season's flagship. The UltraPixel camera was dropped for a regular 13MP unit, which looks like a good move judging by our recent experience with the Desire 816. Then again, with KitKat right out of the box, the Snapdragon 400 will probably do just fine. Plus, the One mini 2 has something the former flagship and its compact version don't - a memory card slot. The BoomSound stereo speakers on the front are a definite asset too. And the looks and build are something you just can't take away. It's not a huge issue though, as with a steady hand the HTC One Mini 2 is capable of taking some nice shots. Information about the electric current (amperes) and voltage (volts) the charger outputs. The higher power output allows faster charging.

HTC's premium design arrives in a smaller suit

Estimated volume of the device, calculated from the dimensions provided by the manufacturer. Applies for devices in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped. Networks A mobile (cellular) network is a radio system, which allows a large number of mobile devices to communicate with each other. GSM CPU is the Central Processing Unit or the processor of a mobile device. Its main function is to interpret and execute instructions contained in software applications.

The HTC One mini has a lot going for it and there are precious few phones that can make a better first impression. One thing that raises a flag though is price. It would have been difficult to swallow even with the bells and whistles of the One (M8) - in comparison, a Snapdragon 800-powered, water-resistant Xperia Z1 Compact with a 20.7 MP camera will run you much less. While its name may suggest this phone is the successor to HTC’s original One Mini, the One Mini 2 is the diminutive follow-up to the HTC One (m8). With no Mini version of the Samsung Galaxy S5 currently in sight, the One Mini 2 is an enticing prospect for those that want a great-looking handset for much less than the full-size version. The instruction set architecture (ISA) is a set of commands used by the software to manage the CPU's work. Information about the set of instructions the processor can execute.

Width Information about the height, i.e. the vertical side of the device when it is used in its standard orientation.

Looks desirable, but its underpowered hardware makes the One Mini 2 feel too overpriced

The old MINI One featured a naturally aspirated 1.6-litre engine, while this car gets a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbo developed from the 1.5-litre found in the MINI Cooper. It delivers 101bhp, which is only slightly up on the old car’s 97bhp figure. Multi-tasking also wasn't an issue, and I was able to have several demanding applications open at the same time and skip between them without issue. There's a bit of bad news as the One Mini 2 also misses out on OIS, even though its bigger brother sports the technology which produces sharper, clearer images.

There’s very little difference between the One Mini 2’s panel compared to the 720p one on the Moto G and it even uses the same toughened Gorilla Glass 3 to add a layer of protection and deliver the impressive viewing angles. The pixel count is pretty much on par with the One Mini 2, offering 326 ppi against the Moto G’s 329ppi.
