| AT&T to start offering HTC One Mini on August 23rd. |
American
carrier AT&T confirmed reports that it would be offering the HTC One mini,
a bite-sized variant of HTC's 2013 flagship. Recent reports from various
agencies suggest August 23rd would be the date when the carrier starts
displaying the phone in its stores, which would be offered for $99.99 on 2-year
contract. The reports were later confirmed by Jeff Bradly, Senior Vice
President of AT&T Devices.
In his
short statement, it was stated that the HTC One was among the provider's best
sellers this year. Therefore, there is a need for the company to follow up the
device's good sales performance by giving its customers yet another option,
although both smartphones were totally identical if not because of their size
and specs differences.
"Our customers loved the HTC One, so we are
excited to offer this slimmer, more compact version. We’re proud to continue to
offer our customers so many choices with a broad smartphone portfolio all on
the nation’s fastest and most reliable 4G LTE network," said Bradley.
Considered
as the flagship's littler brother, the One mini sports the same look and body
material, aluminum. It only has a 4.3-inch display sporting 720 x 1280 pixels
resolution. It uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 400 chipset with a dual-core Krait
clocked at 1400Mhz. While the One mini comes with just half the size of HTC
One's RAM and internal memory, it was given considerably huge battery with
1800mAh capacity (non-removable).
With
HTC One mini already revealed, people have their attention locked on the
newly-rumored HTC One Max, which is believed to be a bit larger than the
flagship phone. Recently, a photo of HTC One, One Mini and One Max emerged but
it was not immediately clear as to when the other phone would be launched.
