14 DAY TRIAL // AT&T’s customers will be able to grab the HTC One mini smartphone on the network of their wireless carrier, for $99.99 (€75) with the signing of a two-year contract agreement.
The new mobile phone has been already officially confirmed to arrive at the carrier later this week, set to provide users with appealing features that have been brought to the market by the handset’s largest counterpart, the HTC One.
“Our customers loved the HTC One, so we are excited to offer this slimmer, more compact version,” said Jeff Bradley, senior vice president – Devices, AT&T.
“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.”
The HTC One mini will be launched at the wireless carrier with a 4.3-inch Super LCD 2 HD 720p touchscreen display, as well as with a 1.4GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor packed inside.
Furthermore, the handset packs 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, GPS receiver, and support for AT&T’s HSPA+ and LTE networks.
On the back, the HTC One mini has been fitted with an UltraPixel photo snapper (with backside illuminated sensor that captures 300 percent more light), the same as the HTC One. There is also a front camera available for making video calls.
The mobile phone runs under Google’s Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system, with HTC Sense UI loaded on top, thus being capable of offering features such as HTC BlinkFeed, HTC Zoe, 30-second Video Highlights, and HTC BoomSound.
“The HTC One mini is pocket-friendly but packed with large experiences – an HD screen, our breakthrough UltraPixel camera, a home screen with customized feeds from news networks to social networks including Instagram, and huge sound from its front-facing stereo speakers,” Jason Mackenzie, president of North America, HTC, said.
