HTC HD Mini review
When the HTC released HD2 Windows Phone, it raised the bar for Windows Phones. The reason was simple – it sported the specs of a smartbook, but could actually be used as a normal phone. However, I have to be a bit frank – that phone was no way pocketable, mainly due to its ginormous 4.3-inch display. That turned quite a few people off.
For those who want the same features of HD2, but in a smaller package, HTC has introduced a new phone, called the HTC HD Mini. The main differences between the HD 2 and HD Mini are:
- A slightly slower processor, 600MHz Qualcomm in HD Mini
- Smaller 3.2 inch display
- Lower resolution display in HD Mini. That said, it is still very sharp
