HTC announces the HTC One Mini 2



HTC just took the wraps off the One mini 2 a few days ago. The HTC One mini 2 features a 4.5" 720p display (326 ppi pixel density). The phone is now slightly larger than its predecessor at 137 x 65 x 10.6mm, but thanks to the altered curved design it feels just as nice in the hand. The phone weighs 137 grams and sports BoomSound dual front stereo speakers.

Powering this smartphone is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 comprising of  a 1.2GHz quad-core Cortex A7 CPU, 1GB of RAM and an Adreno 305 GPU. The storage is 16GB, this time expanded by an additional 128GB thanks to the microSD card slot. Surprisingly, the HTC One mini 2 marks a departure from HTC’s UltraPixel camera tech and comes with a more conventional 13MP camera with a BSI sensor and an f/2.2 lens. It is also capable of recording 1080p video. The 5MP camera at the front, it is capable of recording 1080p video.

The One mini 2 offers LTE connectivity as well as GPS and GLONASS, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 (atpX enabled), dual-band Wi-Fi 802.1n and microUSB 2.0. HTC says the smartphone can last for 16 hours of 3G talk time on its 2,100 mAh battery.

There’s no information on pricing at this point, but the phone will launch in EMEA and North Asia in June in Gunmetal Gray, Glacial Silver and Amber Gold color options.
