HTC just took the wraps off the One mini 2. The successor of the One mini has grown in size and features a much more groovy design, akin to its bigger brother, the One M8.
The HTC One Mini 2 features a 4.5" display of 720p resolution (326 ppi pixel density). As a result, the phone is now slightly larger than its predecessor and measures 137 x 65 x 10.6mm. You’ll notice it’s nearly 1mm thicker, too, 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.

Under the hood of the HTC One mini 2 operates a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset featuring a 1.2GHz quad-core Cortex A7 CPU, 1GB of RAM and an Adreno 305 GPU. The storage is 16GB – just as much as on the original One mini, but this time it can be expanded by an additional 128GB thanks to the microSD card slot.
Interestingly 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. Just like 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. Dont forget to check out what we think of the HTC One Mini 2 in our detailed hands-on.
