HTC HTC One mini

HTC One mini phone

When you’re watching movies on a large HDTV, the difference between HD standards can be stark. After all, 1080p content has more than double the pixels you’ll find in 720p video, and everyone knows that greater pixel density is always better. Except when it’s not. Numerically, the One mini is a step down: its 1280 x 720 resolution on a 4.3-inch screen produces a pixel density of 341ppi, far below the One’s eye-popping 468ppi. But once you stray past 300ppi or so (what Apple describes as the "Retina" threshold), pixels just become indistinguishably small and any further upgrades arent really meaningful.

The One mini reproduces the full excellence of the One’s Super LCD screen, which in itself was building on the outstanding pedigree of the One X display. Color accuracy, contrast, and viewing angles are all superb. If there’s one complaint to be made, it’s that the automatic brightness doesn’t go high enough, making the phone difficult to read in direct sunlight. I’ve had the same experience with the larger One, and you can obviously rectify matters using the manual setting. In short, if you’re after the phone with the best screen on the market today, your choice will be between HTC’s 2013 One models and Apple’s iPhone 5
