hey it's Josh regardful manager at authority what's going on everybody and every photo and video that you're seeing in this feature focus was taken on the cameras of the HTC One mini - wow that's good the selfie game is strong in this particular camera shootout with the HTC One mini - as you can see here I'm just smiling for the camera the five megapixel front-facing camera but let's move on to the rear facing camera now this was a little bit in demand you guys wanted to see what the HTC One mini twos camera was like because it's a more conventional 13 megapixel camera as opposed to the four ultra pixel camera of the HTC One m8 and as you'll see you already have the benefit of the cropping that is available inside of this camera and the quality of the pictures actually is pretty good but we'll just focus on the cropping for a bit as you see these 100 crops the sharpness is still pretty much there you do notice a small dip in the sharpness as you get in there but it really isn't all that bad and if you want it to crop your photos using the pictures from the 13 megapixel shooter of the HTC One mini - then you you are actually able to here's a macro shot that I took with using the macro mode in the camera and then we go right in you can actually see quite a bit of detail on the very inside of this flower so it was a sunny day out in Carlsbad California really hot out but and it provided a lot of great opportunities to show the broad daylight performance of this camera and there were just some really nice opportunities to take pictures of like the flowers and stuff out there but you're going to see some indoor shots a little bit later as I sit in a coffee shop and you'll see what that is like but let's go ahead and move on to some video so you just watched a couple videos using the rear facing camera recorded at 1080p resolution and it's worth mentioning that the front-facing camera is also capable of doing 1080p resolution as well so for those bloggers out there who would like to just do a quick clip of yourselves say talking about something or whatever's going on in your life the audio capture was also quite good using either of the camera so that's also a plus it is worth mentioning though that the camera on the Mini 2 does not have all of the modes that originated in the one m8 mainly the pan 360 and also the Zowie camera so you're not going to be seeing any short bursts that which is what the Zowie camera tends to do along with taking photos and videos so you're not going to be seeing those but it is possible to create the collage or rather the packaged zoe's from the gallery app and you're going to see one at the end of this video so you are so able to create the zoe's to really kind of commemorate maybe the day or rather the location or whatever the particular motif is of your pictures and videos to create a nice little package to really reminisce about those memories we get into the indoor shots here now and we're at the coffee house and this was one I saw one picture that really made me think that this camera was even more of a decent performance and I expected it to be at first I expected it to be a very conventional photo but then on the picture of this latte I did a 100 crop and all of those bubbles were actually pretty detailed like I actually was really impressed with what I saw when I zoomed into this particular photo the one mode that is available in the one mini two is the sweep panorama and I'll go ahead and sweep through this entire thing right now essentially you'll see that it is stitched together really well but there is one caveat and you'll see it in the sky above right there where the exposure seems to change or even the color seems to change a little bit between the stitching's it's not that big of a deal but you do notice it now we have the comparison between the HTC One mini 2 and its Big Brother the m8 essentially when you get into the crops of here you do notice that there's more of a loss of detail in the m8 not too much of the loss compared to the menu 2 as long as you have the circumstances or rather the scene put together correctly you will still be able to get some pretty great photos with the m8 it's just that the Mini 2 has the benefit of better crops but the color as you can see there as well the m8 seems to be a little bit more optimized I guess is the term to use in terms of its color reproduction in that the Mini 2 seems to go for a softer tone with its colors as opposed to the m8 having a little bit more of a higher contrast between the colors a little bit more of a dynamic range all in all though I think that the pictures between the two are really great it's just a matter of what you really need and as you're going to see right here if you need low-light performance out of your phone well the ma just Trump's the Mini 2 which does not do very well in low-light conditions especially one compared to the m8 and so there you have it for this camera shoot out using the HTC One mini 2 you're seeing the Zoe on the left side over there so you are still able to create these montages and packages from within the gallery app so that's always really nice I do think that the camera of the HTC One menu 2 is a very decent performer and a lot of you out there might be saying that this is the camera that should have been on the m8 but that it really is just a matter of your opinion so keep it tuned to Andrew authority for all of the best coverage because we are your source for all things Android
