Live shots of the HTC One Mini reveal 4.3-inch display

While there have been quite a number of leaks of the HTC One mini, here’s another one. According to PhoneArena, a retail channel has gotten its hands on an HTC One Mini and has taken a few pictures of the handset. These pictures more or less confirm the 4.3-inch display on the handset, and that the phone will have a similar design as the HTC One.

According to the channel, the handset has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory. The handset reportedly runs on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and has a 720p resolution on the display, giving it a pixel density of 342 ppi.

Just recently, HTC had published its User Agent Profule (UA Prof) file, essentially confirming the existence of the device.

UA Prof files are specifications files usually released by the company, even though it is not a necessary filing. But now that HTC has released this file, we have a near-official confirmation of the device. The file itself reveals only a few specs of the phone and also confirms the name HTC One mini and model number PO581. We will still have to wait till the official announcement for the full specs sheet.

What is the US HIRE Bill and why is India’s $250-billion IT sector worried? Is the internet dead? What's this theory that OpenAI's Sam Altman says might be true?

We did a little digging in the UA Prof file and it showed the maximum image resolution for an MMS is 2688 x 1520, which is incidentally also the maximum size of an image shot by the HTC UltraPixel camera in the One. This hints at the same module being used in the One mini too.
