HTC One Mini 2 Release Date Coming Soon: Live Photo Surfaces
A live photo of the HTC One mini 2 model leaked earlier this week which could point to the imminent release date of the device.
The picture confirms that the smaller model will not come with the same duo-camera and will instead pack a regular one. The device is rumored to come in several colors including the yellow that can be seen in the image.
Other specs expected to show up on the One mini 2 include Android 4.4 KitKat, Sense 6.0, a 4.5-inch display with 1280 x 720 resolution, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 system chip and a 13-megapixel camera with single LED flash.

The HTC One mini 2 is expected to debut later this month.
This new model will be based on the HTC One M8 which debuted at a special unveiling event in New York City in March.
The company's CEO Peter Chou started off the event by discussing the success of the original HTC One M7 and commented on the strategy used to create the latest version.
"People are still saying the HTC One is the best, most beautiful smartphone," said Chou.
The device features a refined version of the all metal design found on the original One.
For the new HTC One M8 Chou stated that its "design is so pure and honest" and that HTC has "pushed the use of metal further than anyone in the industry." He also took a shot at some of his company's competitors, who use "too much plastic."
Other specs on the HTC One M8 include a 5-megapixel front facing shooter for video chatting and selfies that can be accessed with a swipe, a Snapdragon 801 chipset, an improved version of HTC Zoe, and a 5-inch 440 ppi display.
