HTC One mini Review

HTC One mini is an incredible Android phone, which counts with a high-tech Dual-Core processing unit ticking at 1.4 GHz, a medium 4.3 inches multi touch screen, and 2 cameras, a 4 megapixels back camera and a 1.6 mega-pixels front-facing camera.

This cellphone comes with a high speed 1.4 GHz Dual-Core processor, included in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chip and only 1 GB of RAM which is a bit poor for such a great cellphone. Graphic intensive applications often uses lots of CPU cycles, so this cellphone also has an additional Adreno 305 graphics processing unit running at 450 MHz to unload the CPU. This phone has a 16 GB quite large internal storage and even though it doesn't count with an SD memory slot, it is enough to install hundreds of games and apps, but it probably wouldn't be suitable if you are planning to install a couple of the heaviest games currently available or taking tons of pictures and videos.

HTC made an excellent design job making this cellphone weight just 4.3 oz. Regarding its body materials, the HTC One mini is majorly created with Aluminium, giving this cellphone a premium finish and improved resistance. This phone is just 0.36" thick, making it one of the thinnest cellphones in the market.

This cellphone includes an awesome 4.3" display with a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, which makes it impossible to even distinguish the pixels composing the display. This display uses S-LCD 3 capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

The HTC One mini features two cameras, a 4 megapixels back camera and a 1.6 megapixels front camera. Its back camera has an aperture of 2 so it can capture excellent photographs even in low light environments. It is capable of capturing videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD). This camera also has auto-focus and flash.

The HTC One mini uses a 1800 mAh medium capacity Li-Polymer non-removable battery that can keep this cellphone running for many hours, although you will find yourself looking for a place to charge it after some moderate use. According to HTC, this device has an estimated 20.7 hs talk time and a 500 hs stand by time. A key issue to consider is that this phone's battery is not replaceable so you can't buy a new battery when it starts losing capacity, making it necessary to replace the whole phone or maybe take it to an expert who can open the device and change its battery.

The HTC One mini offers wi-fi connectivity (but it can't provide it to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), LTE 4G high performance internet connection and also HSPA+ connectivity, which is a slower 4G variation and 3G fast connectivity, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a Micro SIM card for GSM networks.

The HTC One mini also features a handful of useful characteristics as Bluetooth (provides communication with other devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This phone is being sold for around $ 279, expensive for a phone this level. No matter if you want it to take lots of photos, are looking for a cellphone to mainly use social networks and internet browsing, want it for work or are looking for a cellphone to play lots of games, this cellphone is probably the right one .
