HTC One Mini 2 is great for selfies HTC has unveiled the mid-range One Mini 2 this week, a phone that the company calls "selfie-friendly."
The device is a less powerful version of the new One (M8), with a smaller 4.5-inch 720p display.

Under the hood is a quad-core Snapdragon 400, 1GB RAM and 16GB internal storage. Rather than the "Ultrapixel" camera of the M8, the phone has a 13MP sensor and a 5MP camera on the front, making it arguably one of the best devices for "selfies."

The phone keeps the front-facing BoomSound stereo speakers of its more expensive brother and the latest Android along with HTC's Sense 6 user interface.



A model built for Europe is set for release next month, with the U.S. to follow later in the year.
