The smartphone market is a confusing place. On
one hand you have the ever-increasing screen
sizes of top-of-the-range models, such as the
huge 5-inch Sony Xperia Z and Samsung Galaxy
S4 , as well as monstrous phone/tablet hybrids
such as the Asus FonePad and Samsung Galaxy
Mega .
On the other, you have some brave 4-inch
holdouts, such as the iPhone 5, and the trend
started by Samsung with the Galaxy S3 Mini
compact versions of larger handsets.
Now HTC
has launched its own diminutive version of the
range-topping HTC One , the One Mini, which
goes head to head with the Samsung Galaxy S4
Mini .
While we appreciate smartphones with huge,
high-resolution screens, we're also fans of
smaller displays. Smaller screens mean smaller
handsets which are easier to slip into your
pocket, are more comfortable to hold when
talking and are much easier to use one-handed.
However, we were worried that mini phones
would also have mini specifications, leading to
handsets that are pale shadows of their award-
winning bigger brothers.
Fortunately, while the
cheaper HTC One Mini has some corners cut
compared to the Ultimate award-winning One,
it's still a seriously impressive phone in its own
right.
The One Mini is a good-looking phone. We like
the silver chassis and white sides, and even the
plus-sized speaker grilles at the top and bottom
of the phone work with the design, making it
look pleasingly skinny. It also has a metal rear,
which we prefer to the plastic of Samsung's S4
Mini.
A metal chassis is always a winner
The screen has 1,280x720 pixels, which is plenty
for its 4.3in size. The display has a pixel density
of 341ppi, which is significantly higher than the
Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini's 275ppi and is even
slightly sharper than the iPhone 5's 325ppi.
The screen's high pixel density makes text sharp
and clear, and means the One Mini is fantastic
for web browsing. It's possible to read text on
web pages when fully zoomed out, which is not
really possible on the S4 Mini without squinting.
We were also impressed with the image quality
from the LCD screen. Whites are pure and blacks
are deep, and there's little sign of graininess.
This is in contrast to the Galaxy S4 Mini's
screen, which has a blue tinge and visible grain.
