HTC One 2 'Mini' promises a smaller, but still powerful phone check out?

According to the tipster, the handset will runAndroid 4.4 KitKat with HTC's Sense 6 UI; both are expected in the flagship version of the handset as well. The Mini also should have a Snapdragon 400 processor with 1GB, 16GB internal storage, and microSD expansion. And like the M8 (or the HTC One 2, if you will), it may use on-screen navigation instead of physical buttons.

For a display, we may see a 4.5-inch screen with 720p resolution. If true, that would make the display larger than that of the HTC One Miniand nearly the same size as the screen on the original HTC One.

It's difficult to say for certain what we might get out of the camera situation; evleaks says a 13-megapixel shooter, but HTC has employed Ultrapixels since 2013. The HTC One Mini, for its part, housed a 4 Ultrapixel rear camera.

Given that the hardware puts this device in line with smartphones like the Motorola G, I'd hope for a similar price point. And considering that HTC wants to add more mid-tier and affordable phones across its portfolio, that just may happen.
