HTC One mini, the smaller flavor of the handset vendor’s current flagship smartphone, has emerged in a newly leaked photo.

The new image supposedly confirms not only its existence, but also shows how it will stack up against the full-sized model.

The handset is expected to arrive on shelves with a 4.3-inch touchscreen display, supposedly a 720p one, while still featuring the same metallic unibody as the predecessor.

According to Engadget, which brought the photo above to the web, the smartphone will also sport Beats Audio, as well as a plastic bezel on the front, yet won’t include the IR blaster that HTC One arrived on shelves with.

HTC One mini is expected to land on the market with Google’s Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system loaded on top, a 1.4GHz dual-core processor inside, and an UltraPixel photo snapper on the back.
