The Samsung Galaxy Alpha was announced mere hours ago as one of Samsung’s first metal-clad smartphones, which had many of us immediately comparing it to the other metallic midranger in the room: the HTC One mini 2. As it turns out, Samsung Galaxy Alpha vs HTC One mini 2 is actually a great comparison for a variety of reasons — let’s dig in.While specs ...

Verizon just announced the HTC One Remix, but this isn’t some brand new offering from HTC. Instead, Verizon flexed its carrier muscle to bring a new name to the HTC One mini 2, a phone we saw the manufacturer announce back in May. So while it’s only just now coming to the States (sales at Verizon get started tomorrow), this is one handset we’ve already spent a lot of time interacting with and forming some opinions about. If you’ve got it in your mind to maybe stop by a Verizon store ...

The HTC One mini 2 has been official for a couple months by now, and it’s seemed like an open secret for nearly as long that the phone would eventually find a home at Verizon as the HTC One Remix. The question’s felt less like one of “if” and more of “when,” and earlier this week we heard that the phone could be just days away, going up ...

It’s been over two months since we saw HTC introduce its One mini 2, and it wasn’t long after the handset went official that rumors started putting two and two together and worked out that the HTC One Remix that had been teased for Verizon was likely to be a carrier-renamed version of the One mini 2. But even with that mystery solved, when might the Remix actually arrive, ready for sale? A couple weeks back ...

Continuing on with our post-announcement spec comparisons between the G3 Beat and other similar phones (the last one being between it and the Galaxy S5 mini), we’ve put together LG G3 Beat vs HTC One mini 2.It’s a similar story to the last comparison — the G3 Beat just isn’t a compelling hardware package when pitted against its closest competitors, but we stress that hardware ...

The HTC One Remix has leaked a number of times as of yet, as Verizon’s carrier-specific One mini 2. Today comes yet another leak, though this one’s a bit unconventional — it’s made possible by Big Red itself, which happened to post an HTC One Remix promo video prematurely. While there isn’t quite a boatload of information to garner from this video (couple that with the fact that we weren’t able to watch it), there’s ...

The HTC One mini 2 is what it’s name implies, a miniature version of the flagship HTC One M8 – at least it tries to be. That statement carries a lot more than one might surmise. We’ve previously talked about how people assume and expect a “mini” version of a similarly named flagship to be a miniaturized version of the same — and are disappointed to discover that it is not. The same is true of the HTC One mini 2 — except for the ...

Last month, HTC launched its One Mini 2, a scaled down, 4.5-inch, 720p version of its metal-bodied flagship. Right before that new arrived, however, we started hearing whispers of a new HTC handset for Verizon, the HTC One Remix. It wasn’t long before we were putting two and two together, and rumors quickly attempted to identify the Remix as Verizon’s version of the Mini 2. Since then we’ve had the ...

Over the past couple weeks, we’ve heard about more than a few Androids rumored to be in the works for Verizon in the US, with @evleaks providing many of the details. He’s already told us to expect the carrier to pick up Sony’s Xperia Z2 Tablet, and informed us that while other carriers would get the HTC One mini 2, Verizon would be renaming the handset to the HTC One Remix. We’ve even had a couple opportunities to check out One Remix imagery, but today not only brings us the highest quality Remix ...

The first time we heard about the HTC One Remix, about two weeks ago, we knew it will eventually land on Verizon’s line-up, but we didn’t know exactly what the phone was. Now, according to @evleaks, we’re getting answers, as the HTC One Remix will allegedly be Verizon’s HTC One Mini 2.While the leaked press render below seems to conceal something (probably the time and date on Sense, which usually hints at ...
The post HTC One Remix will be purportedly be Verizon’s HTC One Mini 2 appeared first on Pocketnow.
The last few years have not been the best for HTC. Its market share, revenues, and profits have all been sliding while its largest competitor, Samsung, has been raking in more sales, profits, and the like. Such has been the case for most smartphone manufacturers (who are not Apple and Samsung, of course), but HTC’s journey, in particular, makes for an interesting story. Despite its several fumbles and missteps since 2011, it still has a massive, die-hard following around its smartphones. Whether it’s due to the elegant hardware and design, ultra high standards in build quality, ...

I’ll be the first to admit I was a little hard on the One M8′s camera abilities and HTC for its decision to stick with only 4.1-megapixels in its flagship smartphone’s camera. I’m not here to beat a long-dead horse. I’ve explained multiple times that 4.1-megapixels is simply a gross camera resolution in a day and age where QHD displays are common on laptops and tablets and 4K televisions are a increasingly common thing. Even today, while

A mini, metal One M8. That’s the idea with HTC’s new One mini 2: miniature yes, but with a fit and finish meant to make it impossible to ignore its flagship ancestry. So if the larger One M8 caught your eye but proved too big for your hand, is the One mini 2 a viable alternative, or has HTC made too many sacrifices on the road to a smaller footprint? That’s what we aim to find out with the HTC One mini 2 vs HTC One M8 ...

HTC already offers a beautifully crafted Android smartphone with the One M8 – but for all its beauty, it sure is big. So for those who put a premium on pocket space (or pocket change) comes a smaller, cheaper alternative. The new HTC One mini 2 hits shelves this summer with a mission to bring the One M8’s high-end user experience to the midsize category. But the landscape of mini smartphones is a pockmarked one, cratered ...
