the HTC one was and still is one of the best Android phones on the market today but maybe it's too big or too expensive for you and that's why HTC announced the HTC One mini we're unboxing it right now let's go check it out yes you've guessed it this is the HTC One mini and these are the obligatory scissors this time scissors version 2.0 since we have a hunch that the HTC One mini and the HTC One have a lot in common we strongly encourage you to check out the full review over at PocketNow and also subscribe to our social media channels to stay up to date while we open up this package we'll try to get into HTC's head for a bit and think of the reasons behind the HTC One mini it is an alternative to the HTC One flagship which might be either too big or too expensive for some and let's not forget since the one directly competes with the samsung galaxy s4 the one mini will continue the tradition and try to beat the galaxy s4 mini which we also relieved on pocket now so here's the box and it's a generic box pre-production slash demo box your unboxing experience will definitely vary once you get this film from your store or carrier the contents of the box shouldn't be too different though so let's dive in and see what's inside there's the film itself which will place the decide use for a little bit and see what else is bundled no literature which is good but there will be definitely some pros in the final retail packaging there's a charger this time with a European plug there's also the obligatory USB cable for syncing and charging and a pair of headphones apparently these look similar to those bundled with the HTC One and those sounded exceptionally well we'll see if they're the same or not there are also some different size gels for your in ear canal drivers there's no battery inside the box as the pack is not user replaceable enough of that let's take a look at the phone itself sorry folks no special screen protector billing cam mode as apparently the plastic on this phone is a sleeve like plastic however here it is this is the HTC One mini we can tell you straight from the beginning that this phone feels substantial like 122 grams substantial not heavy but premium and that weight certainly adds to the experience generated by the call to the touch aluminum and while we're here let's take a look at the one mini side-by-side with the one it's this much shorter five point four millimeters to be specific in terms of thickness they're the same the back features the same aluminum construction camera placement and all let's take a look around the device on the top we have the main speakers with an LED notification tucked behind the speaker grille to the left there's a 1.6 megapixel camera and to the right you've got your sensors below you'll find the 4.3 inch display with 720p resolution and a pixel density of 342 on the bottom there's the HTC logo which just like in the ones case is not a button with the back and home capacitive buttons on its side further down there's your secondary speaker which together with the top one is part of HTC's boomsound which will extensively compare to the one on the HTC one the left sports the Micro SIM card slot and nothing else the top has the power button which no longer doubles as an IR blaster 3.5 millimeter headphone jack primary microphone on the bottom alongside with a USB port volume rockers on the right side also slightly tweaked different from the HTC One the back has a secondary microphone the four megapixel air quotes ultra pixel camera with flash HTC logo as well as Beats Audio cooled out no longer in color let's size it up against some other phones we'll start with the HTC One and we'll add the samsung galaxy s4 this is the samsung galaxy s4 zoom but in terms of size it's about the same at least the front as the s4 mini the One Mini's direct competitor this is how they compare but there's no use to compare thickness since this is the zoom adding more devices Nakia Lumia 925 Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and the iPhone 5 interestingly the iPhone 5 is still smaller than the HTC One mini while we're booting up let's recap the specs the processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 CPU with two cores clocked at 1.4 gigahertz helped by one gig of ram internal storage is 16 gigabytes and the 4 megapixel ultrapixel camera alongside boomsound is also in there's an 1800 milliamp power battery which is non user replaceable LTE support and the platform of choice is Android 4.2.2 with HTC Sense on top of it color options include silver which is the unit we have here and stealth black everyone is gonna do it for today for the HTC One mini unboxing but stay tuned to pocket now we have a lot more coming including comparisons and the full review you can follow me on Facebook as well as on Twitter and if you like this video please give us usual thumbs up thank you very much for watching till next time
