Although at the moment there is no official confirmation, it is practically assumed that the recently launched HTC One M8 will receive a new compact version in the coming months. This version will probably be called the HTC One Mini 2, and this time we have learned that this new smartphone from the Taiwanese manufacturer HTC could have a starting price of around 520 euros. Although it may seem high, we are facing a relatively more affordable price compared to the more than 700 euros that the HTC One M8 cost out of the box.
Information regarding the technical specifications of the HTC One Mini 2 belongs only rumors and leaks, which have allowed us to know that this smartphone will feature a screen of 4.5 inches with a resolution of 720 pixels. The processor incorporated as standard in the HTC One Mini 2 will respond to the name of Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, will include four cores and will operate at a clock speed of 1.4 GHz. The main camera of this smartphone would come with a 13 megapixel sensor and it would not include the novel dual-camera system with which we were surprised by theHTC One M8.
To know the launch date of the HTC One Mini 2 we must refer again to the same source as the one that has leaked the price of this smartphone. This source reveals that the presentation of this new terminal should take place on May 13, the date on which all the information regarding the launch of this mobile will also be announced.
Leaving aside this terminal, is also noteworthy that in recent weeks a high volume of rumors related to different is emerging mobile mid - range of HTC. Such is the amount of these rumors that perhaps HTC should consider clarifying some issues related to, for example, phones like the recently leaked HTC Butterfly 2. It is difficult for users to pay attention to a compact version of the HTC One M8 when, at the same time, rumors are appearing that reveal the existence of a mobile that will offer higher specifications than the HTC One Mini 2 with a starting price that could be very similar -or even lower- than what we have known in this news.
The positive part of these mid-range mobiles is that users who are going to buy a smartphone for between 300 and 500 euros this year will have a huge range of options. It is enough that we refer to other manufacturers to verify the veracity of this fact: Sony could launch a Sony Xperia Z2 Compact in the coming months; Samsung is working on a Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini; Huawei has surprised us with the Huawei Ascend P7. And LG still needs to officially present its new LG G3.
