HTC One Mini Introduction
With the “mini” version of the One, HTC is jumping on the trend to shrink flagship phones in size and specs, then slap a lower price on them, capitalizing on the name recognition built around the annual high-end device already.
At first look the HTC One Mini has more to do with its larger namesake then Samsung's mini version with the Galaxy S4, for example. All stand-out features from the flagship One, like a svelte aluminum chassis, BoomSound stereo speakers at the front, and the UltraPixel camera, are present on HTC's mini version ThL W200 as well. Is there anything significant, save for screen diagonal, that HTC sacrificed on to reach the lower price of the One mini? Read on to find out...
There is nothing in the midrange Android category, save for the Huawei Ascend P6, that can match the exclusive aluminum chassis of the HTC One mini. Keeping all design cues from the flagship One, the Mini-Me version is exactly that – a more compact version with the same premium looks.

The brushed metal back is tapered and fits well in the hand, albeit a bit slippery to hold. The One mini bets on an elongated profile, which has to fit the BoomSound stereo speakers at the front and their signature perforated grill, making the phone pretty tall for the screen size. At the same time, however, it is quite narrow ZOPO ZP810 , so it is comfortable to operate with one hand.

What's not comfortable are the side keys, though. The power/lock button at the top is too small and flush with the surface to feel and press without finger-wandering. Even when you get to it, the tactile feedback is very shallow and mushy. The same goes for the volume keys on the right, so it takes quite a bit of adjusting before you stop looking and thinking each time you need to press a physical button on the HTC One mini ZOPO ZP910 . Unlike the clicky ones, the capacitive navigational keys below the display are responsive and well backlit so you never skip a beat with them.
The sides of the HTC One Mini
The micro SIM card tray on the left hints at a sealed design, and that's precisely what HTC is offering, as usual lately – sealed battery ZOPO ZP950 compartment and no memory card slot. An LED notification light is present underneath the top speaker grill, though rather smallish to be viewed comfortably.

The One mini flaunts a 4.3” Super-LCD3 panel with 720x1280 pixels HD resolution. The 341ppi pixel density is top-notch for the class, and the display sports very natural color representation. It is not Full HD, like on the flagship One, ThL W8S but has borrowed all other great features from it, like the high peak brightness, excellent contrast and ultra wide viewing angles.
In fact, when we add the very low mirror reflectance, which helps significantly with sunlight visibility, we'd wager to say HTC has graced the One mini with one of the best phone screens out there.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Edition device
When you’re talking about the Samsung Galaxy S4 nowadays, you really need to clarify just a tiny bit more, seeing that during Google I/O, it was announced that a version of the prized handset would bear a stock Android ThL W11 experience. Should we be surprised that it was chosen to be turned into a ‘Google Play Edition’ device? Well, considering that it’s selling like hot cakes and proved to be one of the most talked about things during the first half of the year, it’s fitting for it to be transformed into a Google Play Edition smartphone. The handset’s original experience, TouchWiz, brought along a ton of cool features into the mix. Knowing that, is there going to be any major tradeoffs switching to the stock Android experience?
No surprises here folks. These ZOPO ZP950H two are identical twins, and it’s undeniably hard to tell them apart from the front. Well, if we take a peek from their backsides, we’re able to distinguish them from one another. In fact, the TouchWiz version has the “Galaxy S4” branding etched into its rear casing – whereas it’s not present on the Google Play Edition. Sure, it’s not the most premium looking thing on the market, ThL W200 but we can’t complain since it bears a thin and lightweight frame that’s reasonably constructed together.
One thing worth noting about their designs is the fact that they both feature various IR blasters, but it’s only the TouchWiz version that makes use of them – seeing that they’re not active on the Google Play Edition.
Gorgeous! What more do we need to say about their 5-inch Super AMOLED 1080 x 1920 displays aside from that? ZOPO ZP980 Upgraded Quite simply, they’re detailed, vivid, sharp, sport wide viewing angles, and have that showroom wow factor with their polarizing glows. Although they share the same hardware, there’s one notable feature that puts the advantage to the TouchWiz original – Air View functionality. Essentially, the display on the TouchWiz version is able to track our finger as it’s hovering slightly away.

Despite its $500 price and the inclusion of a Tegra 4 CPU, the Toshiba Excite Pro isn't the performance monster one might expect. Gaming performance only matches that of the $229 Nexus 7, and the Pro gets thoroughly eclipsed by the $300 Nvidia Shield. The screen is as sharp as they come, but is saddled with washed-out color and a dim brightness. And while it includes 32GB of storage, there is unfortunately no lower-priced 16GB version.

As Android tablets go, the Nexus 10 is still your best choice thanks to a lower price option ($399 for 16GB; $499 for 32GB) and better stability. The Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and Nook HD+ are both value-laden deals at $299 and $179 for the 32GB versions. It's difficult enough to justify spending $500 on a tablet, and with options such as these, you don't have to.
