videos can be recorded in Full HD. If you start the camera, but HD quality is active. You can change this in a somewhat confusing menu that appears when you click on the three dots at the bottom left of the screen.
pity is that this one can not pause and resume during recording; positive note, that you can focus during video recording on and off. Thus, the lens focuses automatically or you tap with your finger on the position to be focused on the screen.
In addition, the users in the camera application can attach photos to go with a couple of filters, or a so-called ” Zoe “record. In the latter pictures are taken and combined to form a 3-second sound clip together. Unfortunately, these Zoes only play on the device.

Rating 4.5 / 5Conclusion
The One Mini HTC delivers one of the highest-quality mid-range smartphones currently available on the market. The device has for most users an optimal size and feels like noble at.
Both the processing and the design are first class. Here HTC plays a league higher than the competition from Samsung, which relies on the tried and true plastic in the design of the Galaxy S4 mini.
Compared to One, which is to be had with one of the currently most powerful processors, a dual-core CPU and 1GB of memory is enough to one mini. Stalled, the smartphone comes very rarely.
The main camera is convincing especially in bright light – but it’s also better. Fun it is, however, “Zoe” recording, which also animated display in the photo album.
An extra star deserves the One mini with its speakers and the boom sound. If we make the music for the first time and turns the speakers on loud, you will be amazed what is possible in the low depth.
can also score the One mini with its HD display. It does not have to be full HD, as in the example of the One. Colors, viewing angles and brightness completely convince
HTC is making with the One mini lot right, but above all we are many users what they want. A very good smartphone for mid-price, a perfect size and best quality. The camera could also be a bit better, have the NFC device and a micro SD card slot on board.
