HTC One Mini SIM-Free Smartphone - Black

I did a lot of research before getting this and decided this was 'the one.' At first, it didnt strike me as being very intuitive - how to use some of the apps, change the settings etc, but after a couple of weeks, I loved it. The screen is a great size, small enough to pop into a pocket but big enough for me to invest in the excellent hands free HTC earphones, so that I never need to take it out of my pocket for a call and can use the screen 'on the go' to view emails, internet etc. I'm still findings lots of great settings along the way and it's definately a phone I will grow into. I also invested in the HTC flip case and would say that this is one of the best cases I have ever used - I had ordered gel cases, but in the end use the flip one, it keeps the case from feeling bulky, I can stand it up to view video clips and it keeps the screen clean with the inbuilt cover. Very happy with the purchase.

As I write this we have been using this mini since Christmas, first off the good, the sence screen whist not essential, is a welcome change to the sea of icon widget only displays, voice and speakers are truly level breaking that knocks the spots off the competition,Screen is very clear to see, Mobile signal is good to excellent.This brings us to the downsides, Problem with the HTC one mini is battery life, often we find it lass only a day in voice calls of a light nature, oven if you turn off every setting possible, including turning off the phone it will discharge over a period of two days, so there is some kind of phantom drain going on which seems common in a lot of android handsets. Also none of the device is serviceable so you cannot remove the battery, and unfortunately it means if you crack the screen you have to return it to htc for any repair, other annoyances are the lack of expandable memory so if you want to load up your phone with music you may find you won't get all your tune loaded.So think very hard at your usage and life style needs before blighting this particular bullet

the phone is okay and reached within given time period, but the earphone was already broken when it reached to me, the bluetooth headset and screen guard are also not of good quality

Great handset, meeting and in some cases exceeding my expectations. Find that sometimes it takes unnecessary screen shots however this is due to the size of the phone and how tough it is to turn the phone off with the same hand you are holding it with. When texting it is very easy to turn the language from english to french which is a pain but i think that it just needs to get used to. It does sometimes struggle to keep up with the speed at which I text which I am not impressed with. Camera is great, and flick feed is a great feature. Would recommend the phone!

I like the size and style of this phone, but I really cannot recommend it: Battery life is awful, charging takes a long time and the processor is slow, leaving lags on things as simple as waking the phone up from standby mode. The one I was delivered already had cracks in the casing, too, so I now have to walk around with selotape on my phone, to stop the rim around the top form falling off (along with the power button held inside)!

I had an HTC One X+ until January 2014, when it got lost. Loved that phone and all its features! After having used a mid-range Samsung for a period (which broke, the LCD smashed) I'm back to the HTC fold and loving it as usual.The One Mini looks lovely, sleek and classy.The camera is brilliant, despite its 4mp spec! Photos look almost like they were taken on a professional camera. Low-light photography turns out especially well! Samsung doesn't even compare.The sound (with Beats Audio) is loud and clear.The screen is large and bright, and only a little smaller than its flagship model, which costs nearly £100 more. I have small hands anyway, so the compactness is welcome.

I have had this phone for three months now and I love it. It's fast and I can download all the latest apps. The only issues I have with it is that the camera adjustments are quite long to deal with (you can't directly change brightness, exposure etc from get go, you have to scroll to the bottom of a dropdown menu, which can be tedious especially when you are taking posed photos of people.) and it auto corrects the brightness settings which can be a nuisance. Also there is no additional storage so I'm worried for when I do reach the 16GB limit

I take an age to make a decision of buying a phone. After considering everything that is important to me the HTC came out as my top choice and I haven't been disappointed. The size and weight are good (although I wouldn't call it mini - smaller). Features are excellent, easy to use and so far no issues. Best of all was the transfer from my old phone (although that was also HTC).
