More compact, better grip
The HTC One Mini is small, yet it clings to the HTC One's premium style. Its slightly more compact stature compared with the full-size HTC One also translates into a chassis that is easier to manage.
Smaller yet similar
On paper, the One Mini isn't all that much smaller than the HTC One, but when you hold both phones together, the difference is striking.
An aluminum backing
The HTC One Mini features a back side that's constructed from classy aluminum, just like the HTC One. It also uses an almost identical imaging system.
A sleek profile
The HTC One Mini keeps a trim profile. On its right side are tiny volume controls.
Sorry, no IR blaster
The One Mini uses plastic around its edges, not aluminum. HTC also did away with the IR blaster that doubles as a power button, a trait the HTC One boasts.
A smaller, more comfortable size
The smaller size makes the One Mini much more comfortable to hold in one hand
Forward-facing speakers
The ports for the 'Boom Sound' speakers still sit above and below the screen.
Also made in black
The HTC One Mini comes in hues of traditional silver and "stealth" black.
A white plastic edge
The polished metal edge has been replaced with a white plastic band.
A very capable camera
The One Mini's camera app offers the same essential features such as HDR mode, panorama, color filters, and Zoe highlights. The phone lacks the One's optical image stabilization, though.
USB on the bottom
On the bottom lip of the HTC One Mini you'll find its Micro-USB port. It looks to be inverted as well like on the bigger HTC One.
A 4-megapixel camera
The One Mini packs the same 4-megapixel -- or 'Ultrapixel', as HTC calls it -- camera.
