The latest HTC One family is the HTC One Mini 2. With truckloads of awesome features and configurations, this device is a compact variant of the famous HTC One M8.
Taking a cue from the very popular HTC One M8, the new flagship, HTC One Mini 2 is the latest offering from the house of HTC.
Inspired by the styling of the elder sibling, the HTC One Mini 2 is compact in size and elegant in design. In fact, the manufacturer claims that it is the perfect choice for those who wish to possess the iconic design of M8 in a more compact form.
