The HTC One Mini has a 4.3inch 720p HD display while the Apple iPhone 5 has a RETINA display and the display on the HTC One Mini is more dense. Both the devices have solid and premium build, but the iPhone 5 feels a whole lot better and lighter. HTC One Mini has a 4Ultra Pixel camera while the iPhone 5 has a 8MP camera and both the phones are capable of recording 1080p videos.
HTC One Mini runs on Android 4.2.2 Jellybean overlaid completely by HTC’s Sense UI along with Blinkfeed whereas Apple iPhone 5 runs on iOS 6 and is upgradable to iOS 7. Both the OS are completely different in terms of user experience and user interface and it is mainly a matter of personal preference. In terms of performance, the Apple iPhone 5 is quite smooth and very fast and the same cannot be said for the HTC One Mini as it is not a flagship and doesn’t house the fastest processor. The HTC One Mini’s performance isn’t bad, but it doesn’t perform as well as the iPhone 5.
What do you think of the iPhone 5 and HTC One Mini? Do either of them impress you?
