HTC One Mini surfaces again

After therelease of Samsung Galaxy S IV Mini (up for pre order now at 27990 inr)  Fellow tech journalists from AndroidNext.de have got their hands on some exclusive new photos and leaked screenshots of the yet unannounced HTC One Mini. The HTC One Mini will make use of the same 4MP UltraPixel camera as its bigger brother. There is also a 1.6MP camera front-facing camera for video chats. The 4.3-inch screen has a 720x1280 pixel screen. The smartphone will be powered by a dual-core 1.4GHz Snapdragon 400 chipset with Adreno 305 graphics and 1GB RAM (CPU-Z wrongfully reports the chipset as Snapdragon S4, but the GPU reveals it's the newer hardware). This is not the first time we see photos of the HTC One Mini, and these are certainly not the clearestones, but still the leaked screenshots confirm most of the rumored specs. Previous rumors suggested the phone will launch in August so we suppose HTC will not delay the official announcement much longer. So far, we have heard a lot about the miniature smartphone tipped to come in Q3 including itsspecifications that were spotted on benchmark. However, all of them remain as hearsay and, there is no means of confirmation from the Taiwanese tech firm regarding the device. According to AndroidNext.de, the HTC One Mini is expected to makes its formal debut in August and most the specifications that have been leaked in the past are reconfirmed. The source has also revealed some exclusive photos and leaked screenshots of the yet unannounced phone. On board is Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean topped with Sense 5 UI with new features including Zoe Camera, BlinkFeed, BoomSound and others. Speaking of the design, there seems to be nothing really new to behold, as the design language is clearly the same as in the HTC One.Previous rumors and speculations suggest that the phone will be launched in August, so we can expect that HTC will not delay the official announcement much longer. Also, the HTC One Mini is expected to give a tough competition to the Galaxy S4 Mini launched at Rs 27,500 in India.
