HTC HD mini compared with HTC HD2 – Pictures and video
Neowin has made an interesting comparison between the recently announced HTC HD mini and the older and bigger HTC HD2. The HTC HD mini packs these features:
- 3.2″ capacitive touch screen with a HVGA resolution (320 x 480)
- 600MHz CPU
- 512MB ROM and 384MB RAM
- 5 megapixel auto focus camera
- A-GPS
- WiFi 802.11 b/g
- Windows Mobile 6.5 with HTC Sense
- HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
- GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
So basically this is a HTC HD2 but with a less powerful processor, and a smaller screen. Neowin also commented on this and said that they where experiencing small lag issues with the Sense UI. More pictures and a video after the break.
