HTC One Mini 2

It's the same M8 beauty with Moto G specs

Gorgeous M8-inspired metal design, Sharp 720p HD screen, Decent 13-megapixel camera, Improved battery life

Same performance as Moto G, Fiddly virtual keyboard

HTC One Mini 2 review

HTC's premium design arrives in a smaller suit

Premium design ; Strong camera ; Boomsound

Chunky build ; Battery still not great ; Jarring performance

If you want a premium Android smartphone which isn't massive the HTC One Mini 2 is a worthy contender, but it's not without its flaws.

HTC One Mini 2 review

The HTC One Mini 2 is the brand's new pared-down version of the HTC One M8

Great M8 design ; Impressive battery life ; Excellent speakers

Expensive ; It's evolution not revolution ; Is it that bit too long?

HTC One mini 2 review

The HTC One mini 2 sets off to an unsteady start, with name that's almost impossible to say sensibly, and a 4.5-inch screen that isn't really as small as the name suggests. There's a lot of good going on in the HTC One mini 2. For many it will be...

Design, Sense 6.0 is mature and refined, BoomSound speakers

Price is too high, can be a little slippery in dry hands

There's a lot of good going on in the HTC One mini 2. For many it will be perfectly powerful, the battery performance is reasonable if not exemplary, and its software experience is one of our favourites in the current market.

Hands-on: HTC One mini 2 review - Pocket-lint

The HTC One mini 2 wants to capitalise on the good looks of the HTC One (M8), if not the good name. There's been no shortage of confusion around what

HTC One mini 2 video review: A smaller, cheaper M8

Importantly, it retains the premium feel thanks to the brushed metal casing – although there is a thin plastic strip so the metal doesn't quite reach round to the front.

HTC One mini 2 review

If you can't afford the HTC One M8 then the One mini 2 is more likely to be within your budget. It's available for a middle of the road £359 which we think is a good price for what you get. It's still not as cheap as the Nexus 5 though which has some...

The HTC One mini 2 is one of the better examples of a mid-ranged version of a flagship smartphone. It has the same premium feel as the M8 with only a few downgrades - namely a lower res screen and no Duo Camera or IR blaster. The camera is a little...

HTC One mini 2 vs HTC One M8

The HTC One M8 either bests or matches the HTC One mini 2 in every category we cover here. And the difference in price isn't enough to make it a good deal in comparison. For those really looking to save some cash on an Android smartphone the best deal...

HTC One Mini 2 review: A stunning phone that doesn't offer enough for the money

The HTC One Mini 2 has the same slick metal design of its flagship brother, the One M8, but it seriously cuts back on the specs.

The HTC One Mini 2 is one of the best looking compact phones around, thanks to its gorgeous metal body. Its screen is decent, its KitKat software is pleasant to use and its camera takes nicer shots than the flagship One M8.

Many of its key specs, including processing power and screen resolution match the Motorola Moto G, which costs less than half the price of the Mini 2.

With its slick metal body, the HTC One Mini 2 is among the most luxurious compact phones around. HTC, however, has given it a set of specs that put it more alongside the dirt-cheap Moto G than the One M8. This is definitely not the flagship One M8 in a...
