HTC One mini 2 is just yet another phone with Snapdragon 400 processor. Or you could say that it is a worthless mini of a worthy flagship. All ‘minis’ should learn a thing from Xperia Z1 Compact. That a mini doesn’t mean you should minimize the performance too. A mini means just minimize it in size. But no, some companies think that people are dumb in this world, they don’t read into the phone specs and just buy ’cause it’s a mini of a flagship.
Sorry, companies that’s not how it works. And on top of that they are going to ask a premium for this ‘mini’ a price, it doesn’t even deserve. I seriously hate Snapdragon 400 Chipset. it is the most overused, overrated, processor that i have seen this year. My problem is more precisely with the GPU inside it, Adreno 305, it is very weak. Last year it was coupled with Dual core Cortex A7. This year, they increased the number of cores making it a Quad core Cortex A7 which is good but the GPU is still the same, that inferior Adreno 305.
At least put a respectable GPU like Adreno 320 if you can’t put the latest GPU inside the mini of flagship. Well, anyway my problem with these smartphones are never going to end, since i love and hate them so much at the same time. That’s it for my yapping and time for some quick specs.
