HTC labeled the One mini 2 "the most grippable Android ever."
The smaller model comes with the smooth metallic exterior found on the M8 with the brushed Gunmetal Gray finish. It also will come in Glacial Silver and Amber Gold.
Other great features found on the One M8 will also appear on the mini model including the latest version of Sense with an updated BlinkFeed, BoomSound and HTC Zoe.
The exact release date was not announced by the company, but the device will be made available sometime in the summer of this year. The handset will compete with other smaller models of high-end devices such as the iPhone 5c and Galaxy S4.
The HTC One M8 has already solidified itself as one of the finest Android handsets to launch in 2014.
