Now that HTC has finally shared with us their plans for the upcoming HTC One Mini, we can take a look and compare it with the original flagship, the HTC One. Please note that HTC themselves mention that some of these specs may change by the time the phone is actually launched but for now they're official.

There are also some unknowns such as the type of screen used and the price of the device once it launches, but we're working hard on getting that info for you.
