HTC One Mini 2 - Sim Free Smartphone - Grey

Product Information

Information about additional software and hardware features of the rear camera which improve its overall performance. The 4.5-inch screen has stretched a bit from the original's 4.3 inches, but it's retained the same screen resolution of 1,280x720 pixels. Technically that means the screen should be a little less sharp, but it's impossible to tell just from looking at it and it still delivers an impressive 342ppi -- still comfortably above the iPhone 5's 326ppi. There's 16GB of memory on board, which isn't bad, and you can add a further 128GB via microSD card (you can't use the card to store apps though). megapixel, 1.12μm camera with auto focus, UltraPixel BSI image sensor, Geotagging, smart LED flash, F2.2 aperture, 1080p HD video recording, video stabilization

Perhaps the original One is cheaper too where you are, which is doing the One mini 2 no favor - especially considering it's hard to say which one's the mini in that pair. The honeymoon will soon be over and HTC wouldn't want potential buyers, who are always looking around anyway, to start fooling around. The One Mini 2’s biggest compromise is its internal hardware. While its quad-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor is by no means slow, the Snapdragon 400 is also used in the considerably cheaper Motorola Moto G. Admittedly, the One Mini 2 was slightly faster in the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark, completing it in 1,185ms compared to the Moto G’s 1,410ms.Front camera Modern smartphones have one or more front cameras and their positioning has led to various design concepts – pop-up camera, rotating camera, notch, punch hole, under-display camera, etc. Aperture

The One Mini 2 is still a gorgeous smartphone, though, and undoubtedly a better-looking effort than the original One Mini. Information about the process technology used in manufacturing the chip. The value in nanometers represents half the distance between elements that make up the CPU. That said, the One Mini 2 managed to run all the games and applications I threw at it, and apart from some tardy load times operation was smooth throughout. One of the main characteristics of the display is its type/technology, on which depends its performance.Multi-tasking also wasn't an issue, and I was able to have several demanding applications open at the same time and skip between them without issue. The capacity of a battery shows the maximum charge, which it can store, measured in mili-Ampere hours. While its name may suggest this phone is the successor to HTC’s original One Mini, the One Mini 2 is the diminutive follow-up to the HTC One (m8). With no Mini version of the Samsung Galaxy S5 currently in sight, the One Mini 2 is an enticing prospect for those that want a great-looking handset for much less than the full-size version. The HTC One mini has a lot going for it and there are precious few phones that can make a better first impression. One thing that raises a flag though is price. It would have been difficult to swallow even with the bells and whistles of the One (M8) - in comparison, a Snapdragon 800-powered, water-resistant Xperia Z1 Compact with a 20.7 MP camera will run you much less.

Networks A mobile (cellular) network is a radio system, which allows a large number of mobile devices to communicate with each other. GSM The battery type is determined by its structure and more specifically, by the chemicals used in it. There are different battery types and some of the most commonly used in mobile devices are the lithium-ion (Li-Ion) and the lithium-ion polymer battery (Li-Polymer).Then again, with KitKat right out of the box, the Snapdragon 400 will probably do just fine. Plus, the One mini 2 has something the former flagship and its compact version don't - a memory card slot. The BoomSound stereo speakers on the front are a definite asset too. And the looks and build are something you just can't take away. The color depth of the display is also known as bit depth. It shows the number of bits used for the color components of one pixel. Information about the maximum number of colors the screen can display. Cosmetically, the One Mini 2 and the (m8) look very similar. They both have the same gorgeous aluminium design and each runs Android 4.4 KitKat with HTC’s latest Sense 6 interface laid over the top. This means the One Mini 2 benefits from all the same HTC-exclusive apps as the (m8), including Blinkfeed and the forthcoming Zoe camera app. The only notable app missing on the One Mini 2 is HTC’s TV app, which turned the (m8) into a remote control and TV listing screen for your home cinema system. It's not a huge issue though, as with a steady hand the HTC One Mini 2 is capable of taking some nice shots.

talk time is the time period a battery charge will last, if one is constantly talking on the phone in a 2G cellular network. Open the app and you'll be told the functionality to capture short bursts of video and then stitch them into a video highlight reel with be "coming soon" - but it's something I was unable to test. The aperture (f-stop number) indicates the size of the lens diaphragm opening, which controls the amount of light reaching the image sensor. The lower the f-stop number, the larger the diaphragm opening is, hence, the more light reaches the sensor. Usually, the f-stop number specified is the one that corresponds to the maximum possible diaphragm opening. The L2 (level 2) cache memory is slower than L1, but has a larger capacity, instead, which allows it to cache more data. Just like L1, it is much faster than the system memory (RAM). If the CPU does not find the data needed in L2, it proceeds to look for them in the L3 cache memory (if there is such) or in the RAM. The One mini 2 replaces the original HTC One Mini, which itself was a smaller, cut-down version of the HTC One M7 from 2013. The new “mini” smartphone has a 4.5 in high-definition screen, which makes it larger than an iPhone 5S and most other smaller, mid-range phones. [5]Thankfully, the screen’s contrast levels were better. We measured a contrast ratio of 1,289:1, and our darker test images showed plenty of detail. This didn’t help the screen’s narrow viewing angles, though, as the screen became noticeably darker when we set it down on a table compared to when we were looking at it face-on. It was still bright enough to see the screen clearly, but we found it difficult to read lots of text on HTC’s Blinkfeed news reader, for instance, unless we were holding the phone in our hand. The instruction set architecture (ISA) is a set of commands used by the software to manage the CPU's work. Information about the set of instructions the processor can execute. The HTC One Mini 2 is an Android smartphone designed and manufactured by HTC. The One Mini 2 is a mid-range variant of HTC's 2014 flagship high-end smartphone, the HTC One. As such, the One Mini 2 was designed to provide an overall experience as similar to its high-end counterpart as possible, while still being competitively priced in comparison to other smartphones in its range. Officially unveiled on 15 May 2014, [3] the One Mini 2 was expected to be released mid-June in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, with no official date for other regions. On Verizon Wireless, the model is branded as the HTC One Remix. [4] The Remix differs from the One Mini 2 in that it has 1.5 GB of RAM.
