mini usually the word means smaller but in the case of the HTC one mini here it actually means less and that ain't all bad I'm Jessica doll court for cnet going to show you around the HTC One mini so this phone is actually only slightly smaller than the HTC One original but there are a lot of differences with it it is definitely mid-tier mostly with the internal specs a little bit with the outside to you can see that there are still aluminum accents and the body looks really beautiful looks a lot like the HTC One still has a premium feel but it's got plastic accents around the rim so it isn't all metal it also has a slightly different power button that does not have an IR blaster built in it so you cannot use this to remotely control your TV the phone has a 4.7 inch 720p HD screen really nice and pretty to look at very bright it comes with HTC sense 5 as the custom interface on top of the Android 4.2 point2 operating system the processor is a little slower 1.4 gigahertz dual-core versus a 1.7 gigahertz quad-core on the original one so also got 16 gigabytes of storage inside instead of 32 and there's no microSD card slot another thing that's missing NFC the cameras are about the same there's a 4-megapixel ultrapixel camera on the back with flash on the front you've got a slightly smaller 1.6 megapixel front-facing camera instead of 2 megapixel front-facing camera in the US the mini sells exclusively with AT&T for ninety-nine dollars I think it's a really great value for a phone especially when that looks this beautiful it's definitely one of my favorites in this price point so if you're looking for a slightly cheaper alternative to the HTC One this is definitely your phone I'm tastic adult court for cnet you can read my full review at cnet com you
