HTC One Mini 2 with 4.5-inch HD display, 13MP camera, Snapdragon 400 processor officially announced

HTC has officially announced the much leaked miniature variant of its flagship One (M8), dubbed as HTC One Mini 2. The smartphone is the mini version of HTC One (M8) and is the successor of last year announced HTC One Mini. The design of One Mini 2 is similar to its bigger brother though it misses out the Duo camera set up.

Update: The expert leaker @evleaks has leaked the first official press image of the HTC One Mini 2. The new press image leaked by @evleaks is different from the one leaked by PhoneArena (image below), suggesting that the PhoneArena's image is not real.

The new press image shows the device in three different colours -- Gray, Silver and Gold, similar to HTC One (M8). The design of M8 Mini is somewhat similar to the original M8, apart from some tweaks like the Duo camera has been replaced by single camera and the dual-tone LED flash in M8 is replaced by single-LED flash in M8 Mini.

Also, the sensors on the front are moved from right to left and the front speakers are slightly re-designed. HTC is expected to debut the One Mini 2 later this month.

HTC has still not confirmed the existence of the One (M8) Mini, the miniature variant of its flagship smartphone, but latest reports from Taiwan suggest that the smaller version will be out in May. A similar rumor popped up even last month as a UK source pointed out that the HTC One (M8) Mini will be announced sometime in May.

Since long, HTC has been striving hard to stay buoyant in the smartphone industry, but the vendor seems to be failing in almost every step it has taken to beat its rivals. The Taiwanese firm is constantly taking aspiring steps to emerge as a winner by releasing more and more smartphones with innovations. This year, HTC made a great debut for its flagship device – HTC One (M8) with Duo Camera and other attractive aspects. 

Now, the vendor is all set to announce a couple of new variants of the handset to quench the needs of a wider consumer base.

HTC M8 Mini has just had its specs leak on to the interweb.
