It is expected to feature a 4.5-inch 720p HD display, 1.4 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor with 1 GB RAM and 16 GB storage which will be expandable using micro SD card.

The specifications apart from the camera are quite similar to the Moto G, but the HTC M8 Mini will definitely cost more. Even Sony has tried the small but powerful formula with the Xperia Z1 Compact but that is a high-end device on its own right with a Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor and 2 GB RAM alongwith a 20.7 MP camera. Nevertheless, in a world of phablets there is still space for a 4.5-inch device.
