As like the miniature versions of the Galaxy S devices, HTC released the One M8 mini 2 to the HTC One M8. For some people who are not into thoes bigger screen phones and want a phone thats not so big, the mini version of these phones are best for you.
The HTC One M8 mini 2 has a brushed aluminum unibody. The front of the phone is were you'll find the front facing camera, the two font facing boom speakers with the proximity sensors and obviously it's scaled down display. At the back is the rear camera and the flash, as like the M8 with two cameras at the back, the mini doesn't have a second rear camera. On the top, you'll see the earphone port and an IR blaster, and on the bottom is the USB/charging port. The left side of the mini is were the micro SD card slot is for you to expand the memory and on the right hand side of the phone is the volume rocker with the sim card tray right above.
For the display, the mini 2 is sporting a 4.5 inches super LCD2 with a resolution of 720p and a pixel density of 326 ppi. The color reproductions are good. Brightness level are good; the level can go up to retina-singeing even though glare does have a slightly negative impact on sunlight readability and viewing angles are also good.
For the rear camera, you get a 13 megapixel with BSI sensor and f/2.2 lens. You can also the settings to tweak the camera interface to get the best out of your photos. It takes good pictures with its rear camera, HDR is okay and low light is the same. Video recording shoots at 1080p with good audio, though when there is little light it looks grainy. There are also slow motion and high speed (60 fps) modes if there is a particular scene you think requires more than standard video. For the front facing camera, you get the same 5 megapixel with wide view as the M8 for you to take those selfies.
With the mini 2 you get a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 SoC paired with 1GB of RAM. You also get a 16GB of internal storage to play around with (five gigs are reserved for the Android ROM), but you can expand the memory via microSD cards of up to 128GB. The phone speed is okay, but when playing big games with a lot of data like asphalt, GTA or any other large game, don't expect buttery smooth play, you will get lagging of the phone.
Out of the box on the One mini 2 you get Android 4.4.2 Kitkat with HTC's Sense 6 UI running over it. You get the same Sense 6 experience as on the M8 with special features that includes the new Do Not Disturb mode, an improved version of BlinkFeed, and an Extreme Power Saving Mode that extends battery life by letting you use only the phone's basic functions.
Powering this device is a 2,100mAh battery. With very moderate use you can get at least one day out of the One mini 2, there are also the two power-saving modes to keep battery drain to a minimum.
