sincity Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Sure, it's only been three days since HTC officially took the wraps off its latest flagship smartphone, but that's plenty of time for rumors of a more diminutive model to start percolating. Unwired View spotted a curious news item on Swedish Android website Swedroid today that appears to confirm HTC's plans to follow up this week's HTC One (M8) launch with a similar handset in a smaller package. This so-called HTC One (M8) mini wouldn't exactly come as a surprise, given how the Taiwanese manufacturer released both smaller and larger variations of last year's flagship HTC One handset. That would make the second such internet confirmation this week of an mini M8, following a tweet from @evleaks on Tuesday who claimed "M8 mini: Check" mere hours after HTC took the wraps off the midrange model. M8, the sequel? A product listing for an HTC "M8 mini" popped up in a blog post on the website of carrier Telia, which announced which devices would support improved HD Voice technology on its Swedish airwaves. Although the post now only lists smartphone models from Apple, LG, Nokia, Samsung and others, an earlier version apparently included a list of HTC devices, including the rumored "M8 mini" tucked away just below the just launched M8. There's no indication yet of just what specs might power such an HTC One (M8) mini, beyond the likely assumption that the device will indeed be smaller than this year's flagship handset. For now, we'd say comparing the differences between last year's HTC One and HTC One mini models will probably give some pretty good clues as to what can be expected - and don't act surprised when HTC eventually queues up an HTC One (M8) Max down the road as well. We're just sayin'.... Speaking of bigger devices, check out our review of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3! Quote
