The HTC One mini is essentially an HTC One in a smaller shell, but does the handset’s size really live up to the name? The HTC One mini’s 132 x 63.2 x 9.25mm size isn’t exactly small. Overall, the HTC One mini is only 3.9% shorter and 7.3 percent less wide than the HTC One and the difference of .05mm of thickness can barely seen by the human eye. The HTC One mini’s 14.6% decrease in weight is certainly a lot more noticeable, but we’re a bit perplexed as to why the HTC One mini so big.
To give you a visual representation of the HTC One mini’s size, we’ve aligned it perfectly with the HTC One in the image below. As the numbers suggest, the phone isn’t quite as small are the name implies, but the smaller screen should make one-handed use a lot easier for those who have a hard time with the HTC One’s 4.7-inch display.
Do you think HTC should have made HTC One mini even smaller by using a 4-inch display?
I was totally looking forward to this phone because the HTC One is simply too big. The screen size is perfect and so is everything else but I’m totally disappointed at the height difference. I wouldn’t call it a mini for sure. Wish they would make another HTC One Mini, shorter and maybe only 1 top boomsound speaker or something..
