Leaked image shows HTC One mini 2 in silver, gold and gunmetal

Following the fad of churning out mini variants of high-end flagships, news has it that HTC is working on a ‘mini’ version of its One M8. Prolific tipster Evleaks - known to disclose accurate information about to-be-announced smartphones - has tweeted an image showing the ‘HTC One mini 2’ in  silver, gold and gunmetal.   Take a look at the tweet below:  Going by the image, the One Mini 2 is expected to feature a smaller display. HTC will be giving the Duo Camera a mis, and will also lack dual LED flash. Unlike the One M8, the mini version gets a metal body with a plastic rim around the screen. HTC has also repositioned the sensors and the power button.   Unlike Sony, HTC doesn’t plan a mini variant that comes with flagship-like powerful features in a smaller display. Instead, the HTC One Mini 2 appears to be a watered down version with a premium build, which could sell at a lower price. However, other specs of the device like its processor and camera are yet unclear.     Its flagship One M8 is already available for sale in India . The  One M8 gets a 5-inch full HD Super LCD 3 display  that’s just as good as last year’s One. HTC has retained the front-facing BoomSound speakers, so you get a rich audio experience. Internally, the One M8 gets Snapdragon 801, the top-of-the-line SoC from Qualcomm, with the quad-core CPU clocked at 2.5 GHz. It also gets 2GB of RAM.   Software-wise, the One M8 runs Android 4.4 KitKat, with Sense 6 UI and gets some nifty gesture-based controls. HTC has also added a battery saver mode, which preserves battery for several hours when it’s at the lower end.
