With smartphones growing larger than Andre The Giant's posing pouch, it's no wonder we've started seeing ‘Mini' versions of the latest premium mobiles. Samsung has miniaturised its Galaxy S III and Galaxy S 4 phones, and now HTC has launched its HTC One Mini, a more manageable version of the...

More comfortable one-handed use; Same slick metallic design; Zoe camera mode; Boom Sound; 4G

No NFC; No memory card slot

The new One looks sharp, performs well, has solid battery life and improves on its predecessor in most categories. It's still at the top of our list, but its slick finish makes it uncomfortable to hold.

Beautiful all-metal design with brushed-metal finish; Duo Camera delivers great imagery; Top of the line performance; Long battery life; Motion Launch is a nice touch

The phone has a slippery feel that makes it difficult to grip; No enhancements to the display or HTC's UltraPixel technology

HTC One Mini is definitely a great medium to high-end smartphones, offering a beautiful and elegant design and construction materials, solid and robust. In addition, no compromises regarding the main hardware features and performance, perfectly in line with the segment.

Construction materials; Audio quality; High autonomy

The absence of a slot for memory expansion

The HTC One (M8) is a smartphone with a lot to live up to. Its predecessor, the HTC One, was our favourite smartphone for six months, until the Nexus 5 rolled up. There's more competition coming, too, in the form of the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the Sony Xperia Z2.

Recommend for everyday use and good price for this phone. Need to root and remove stock app in order to achieve more speed After update roll out from HTC to Sense 6 Android 4.4.2 that is when speed and usage smoothness takes place. It put smiles every time I use my phone.

Phone size good fit into palm; Usage speed nothing lag or slow; Phone weight ok even for ladies

Overall, we enjoyed our time with the One Mini! It is a solid phone which performs well, considering the lower specifications it has. With the new trends of screens becoming larger and larger, it is good to finally have a small(er) phone on the radar if you're looking for one (that doesn't wear an...

great performance; above-average battery life; excellent display; small(er) form factor; great materials; awesome design; solid build

There's still no exact word on pricing and availability for the International model which we reviewed here but some online retailers; like our friends in the UK; ; and those in the US; Negri Electronics; ; have the device listed for anywhere between $479 (Clove; plus VAT; if applicable) and $617.5...

The Android scene is a crowded one with new devices in various shapes and sizes flooding the market everyday. It's not easy for one model to stand out but HTC's One M8 comes close.

Solid, premium build; loud and clear BoomSound speakers; amazing front camera

A little ­overweight; main camera is only 4-megapixels; heats up easily

This product was out of stock for quite a while but was swiftly processed by my local Argos store in North Bridge, Edinburgh. So far it has exceeded my expectations. I ordered the DOT Case separately and it was easy to set up and use. There is a case in the box but it does not protect the screen.

"Great phone but I had to return it because 16gb is too little storage. What a shame because apart from the tiny storage that matches phones from 5 years ago this was a great phone.

The HTC One mini certainly looks the part, but does it deliver? Absolutely. It's not perfect, but this more pocketable take on the HTC One is a joy to use and offers users a rich smartphone experience that its rivals may find hard to beat.

Beautiful; premium design; Rich multimedia experience; BoomSound/Beats audio is excellent

Camera lacks fine detail; No IR blaster or NFC; Expensive at launch
