The editors didn't like

  • Uncomfortable side buttons with shallow tactile feedback
  • Okay battery life
  • BoomSound speakers sometimes weren't clear when it came to intensive sounds
  • 16GB of internal storage really comes to about 11GB
  • And no microSD card slot limits storage options
  • The Verdict
  • I would recommend this phone to anybody who
  • Lower-end processor. Middling reception. No memory card slot or removable battery. Heavy Android skin might not suit everyone's taste
  • Below-average battery life
  • Not fastest phone in class
  • Too many AT&
  • T apps
  • The diet version of the One has 16GB of internal storage with no option to expand
  • And lacks NFC
  • Camera lacks fine detail
  • No IR blaster or NFC
  • Expensive at launch
  • Poor camera results
  • Limited battery life
  • Sense is still a burden rather than a boon
  • Camera is disappointing
  •  mediocre camera
  •  16GB internal storage
  • Non-expandable
  •  no NFC (and no IR blaster)
  •  non-user-removable battery
  • As neither a premium nor cheap 4.3inch device
  • The HTC One presents better value for money. The "Ultrapixel" camera is still disappointing
  • More so without OIS.
  • Non-interchangeable battery
  • Memory expansion via SD card not possible
  • Only 1GB RAM
  • High buying price
  • Faint display of self-taken photographs

  • Abstract:  HTC just released the HTC One Mini, a lower-specc'd budget-friendlier version of the wildly successful HTC One. How does it stack against its older brother? T3 Middle East gets some play time with it...

  • HTC has recently made claims about getting out of the high-end of the handset business, and returning to its roots as the discount brand. When assessing the Mini, it seems possible that this device is an early half-step in the cheap direction. Those looki...

  • Great design, Highres screen, Doesn't need more CPU power
  • Poorer battery, Misses image stabilisation, Storage too low
  • Would we recommend the HTC One Mini? Absolutely - the mid-range market renaissance is something we didn't expect, but is an area that HTC is intent on winning - and we think it's managed that with the One Mini. We really love the aluminium shell, the Ult...

  • Performs as well as the HTC One; display is pretty good despite small size; build quality pretty good
  • The camera; some changes in HTC Sense feel unnecessary or annoying; no expandable memory
  • A pretty good smartphone that shows that it's not just the hardware that matters, it is the overall package....

  • Abstract:  Digital Life News Mobiles Technology News DateOctober 17, 2013 (1) Read later They've cut the size of the One, made it $288 cheaper, but with no lack of functionality, the mini is no shrinking violet. The first thing you notice about the mini ...

  • Abstract:  One might say the sophisticated mini is too attractive to put a case on. If you want to show off that design, you'll have to put up with some scuff marks and maybe a hand slipping off its smooth surface.Its palm-sized 4.3-inch screen outdoes the iPhone 5,...

  • Abstract:  There sure does seem to be a lot of 'mini-me's floating around these days. In years past, the cheaper, smaller handsets had a design and look all of their own, but this year we're swamped by pint-sized versions of the flagship models. You have the Samsung...

  • Excellent design and build quality, Camera performance, Dual front facing speakers
  • Plastic Edges, Button layout
  • So, one simple question to answer, should you buy this device? The answer to this question would have to be maybe. I know that is not the best answer in the world, so lets dive into how I came to that conclusion. If I had to make a choice between the HTC ...

  • Attractive aluminium build, Compact and comfortable size, Excellent display
  • Weak reception, Battery life isn't great, Questionable performance at times
  • The HTC One Mini has an attractive design and a great display, but an inflated on-contract price tag, less than stellar performance and poor reception make it very difficult to recommend...
