    Linus i just bought the full size HTC one it will be here in 2 days due to your glowing recommendations as well as my own love of the build quality and ID of the one. So let it be said Linus media group does push the sell of HTC product, and makes amazing content, thanks and keep it up guys.

    duly noted but at this point mobile tech isn't something I can ignore. its no secret my passion for phones is not as .... strong as it is for PCs but I don't make the rules. typing this from my evaluation unit of the moto x which will my next phone review.

    You don't do many phone videos, but when you do it's pretty good! You don't buy into the specs and benchmark scores like many other reviewers do especially when it comes to android phones. Keep it up Linus!

  • @VeselinMarkovic
    @VeselinMarkovic 11 лет назад

    The video was VERY good. The only thing you might've skipped mentioning is built-in software from HTC; how good or bad it is, how useful, etc.
    Liked the video and I'm interested in phones, and I did find this informative.
    MAYBE it relied a bit too much on the review of HTC One, and might've been a little confusing for those who haven't seen it.

  • @jamesmartin2116
    @jamesmartin2116 11 лет назад

    Just picked up the One Mini today having used that and the original One, my mini didn't have the build quality issues that Linus pointed out and the sides aren't slippery at all. So may be a different material being used from the review samples. But one thing I do like about it is how much better the headphone Audio quality is over the original HTC One. Just blows it away when compared side by side. Lag is noticeable at points but for the most part not present. Great little phone overall really

  • @notmyrealnameify
    @notmyrealnameify 11 лет назад

    I appreciate the fact that you mentioned the fact that S4 mini and S4 are not the same in referral to a previous video interview.
    Furthermore the HtC one < 5 inch but I understand that a good 4,3 inch phone is indeed missing.

  • @LinusTechTips
    @LinusTechTips  11 лет назад

    I never said I wasn't bothered by Samsung's original PenTile implementation. On the S4 it's far less of a factor though.

  • @PITH54

    Linus, can you make a video comparing all the major cell carriers and the pros and cons of each one? Maybe include which networks are best for certain kinds of users. That would be excellent!

  • @celticzen
    @celticzen 11 лет назад

    I'm with Linus on this. Please make higher-end specs phone with 4.3" display!
    Personally I have quite big hands, but I find that phones with 4.3" to 4.7" display are the perfect size. Perfectly comfortable with using either one or two handed. I'm contemplating between S4 Mini and One Mini but the dual core just puts me off.

  • @LinusTechTips
    @LinusTechTips  11 лет назад

    While you're right that the one is 4.7" in terms of screen size I find it quite a bit more difficult to handle than the moto x which has the same screen size. Physically the one is the same size as the s4

  • @LinusTechTips
    @LinusTechTips  11 лет назад

    I expect a model that isn't really much cheaper to deliver similar features and specs. this is a *very* cut down experience versus the full size phone to the point where I find it hard to d compared to just spending a few more bucks on its big brother. maybe that was he plan all along...

  • @MatthewSwain
    @MatthewSwain 11 лет назад

    I agree on the need for a high-end AND small phone. I so want another Nexus One but with current spec's. The case I have on my OneX gets close to the 'feel' of it, but there is a definite size discrepancy.

  • @RiZinSpartanHD
    @RiZinSpartanHD 11 лет назад

    I have one and it's perfect for me, a gamer, basshead, editor and in need of a good sized, HD high quality phone and I bought it and got it on release and it only crashed once for 6 seconds. I have dropped it 7 times on solid concrete without a scratch. It is a very high quality phone for an amazing price! Mine is £22 pm.

  • @matbentley

  • @orphyn09
    @orphyn09 11 лет назад

    Agreed. Last year I got the One X, and was really afraid that 4.7" would be out of my reach with my small hands. Within about two months I feel like 5-5.2" would be fine.

    @L4chrym4l 11 лет назад

    That's practically the only time I would need to use one hand and even then it's good that I can't. I think I would appreciate an over-sized device that limits me to use it while parked or at least at a halt in my car.

  • @cuddles6938
    @cuddles6938 11 лет назад

    The lip around the case is specifically so when you place the phone upside down on a table the screen doesn't get scratched. My HTC 8x you can turn upside down to hang up, etc. but doesn't have a lip to protect the screen.

  • @ChrispyNut
    @ChrispyNut 11 лет назад

    I know the Define R4 is the most used case in build logs. You told me on the WAN show... Herpnderp
    Don't like flush screen - bezel. Prefer a lip to protect screen from surface imperfections (screw covers and screen paint stuff).
    720>1080 IMO on a phone (except I want 1080 screens for Rift).
    Totally want One specs in mini form factor.
    Yes Anand fan boy, Nand performance is big deal for multi-tasking :)

  • @dimos47ki7

  • @DzinkyDzink
    @DzinkyDzink 11 лет назад

    I have HTC One S and imo it is perfect shape and size. Though I tend to use it as a phone/music player mostly and sometimes internet browsing. There needs to be something 125x65x8 with top hardware and a screen that takes +90% of frontal area.

  • @supergoose.
    @supergoose. 11 лет назад

    He explained it in one of the latest WAN shows. Basically the reason is that he doesn't take as much care of his stuff as he should. He talked about just throwing his phone in the backpack whith an external charger connected, which obviously puts stress on the connector and the plug.
    I personaly never had a problem with micro usb and I've had my phone for more than 2.5 years now. But then again, I hate extrenal chargers and prefer to just swap out the battery, which you can't do with an HTC ONE.

  • @liferescripted
    @liferescripted 11 лет назад

    I would say go with the Moto X instead. It is actually smaller frame-wise than the HTC One Mini, but crams a 4.7" screen (though it's still only 720p), a 1.7ghz dual core, NFC, Wireless ac, and up to 32gb of storage. Plus the software features are pretty damn awesome. If I wasn't on contract with my HTC One S and wanted a smaller framed phone for single hand use, that's what I would go with.

  • @ironsword7
    @ironsword7 11 лет назад

    I absolutely agree that there needs to be a premium high end android smartphone with a smaller screen. Having used a HTC 8X WP8 phone I found it to be just a tad to wide for single handed use. The width of the HTC one mini is just that little bit narrower at 63mm. Perfect IMO. Such a shame HTC skimped on various areas of the mini.

    @khallodah1 11 лет назад

    size wise, seems perfect. I've got the Desire 600 Dual sim it almost has the same form factor. I would love to see optimal android phone from HTC for this form factor.

  • @LilAjBeatz
    @LilAjBeatz 11 лет назад

    As far as voiding your warranty it's as simple as finding out how to unroot your phone. I've been able to root phones, install custom roms, find the original rom for the phone, install that rom and send my phone in for the warranty. That's not a full unroot because it might leave files behind but most will never notice but for people that insist on having the "complete unroot" with all files and "evidence" wiped it's multiple guides out there and it's very easy.

  • @bleedinsixcolours
    @bleedinsixcolours 11 лет назад

    Personally I have Very big hands. I am only 5'6 but my hands are bigger than all of my friends who are up to 6'3. I use an iPhone 5 day to day, as it is the most comfortable! I have a HTC One and a GS4 and they are just bigger for the spec sheet. The HTC One I think is the limit for sanity, nobody needs more than a 4.7inch display for their phone. I think this is one of the reasons that Apple still have such a hand in the smartphone game, is because they get it! Most people don't need it so big.

  • @skifree0
    @skifree0 11 лет назад

    making a full spec 4.3" phone will be quite challenging. I only saw 1 coming soon (Z1f) and even that i question its battery life. The problem is full specs are also powerhogs. The only way I see high performance mini phones is if they pull an apple and actually design their own sillicon to focus on ipc but if all you advertise is ghz then that would be pointless.

  • @mloaiza002
    @mloaiza002 11 лет назад

    I think that the mini version of the htc is better that the mini version of Samsung, but of course is a little more than that. Prices, etc. Like you said, it's a personal choice when it comes to phones.

  • @Doogleraia
    @Doogleraia 11 лет назад

    Size-wise, I'd say the HTC One X was PERFECTLY sized.. and was even the "best" phone out, when it was new.. but, it's falling a bit behind to the HTC One, even though it's still a very high end phone.
    ..and for some weird reason, I like the side micro-usb better on the HTC One X, than the bottom place one, on the HTC One. Something I usually don't prefer.
    The One Mini looks like a mix between the two, just.. a tad smaller, with overall worse internals.

    Understood. But couldn't you make mobile technology unboxings and reviews in another channel of the Linus Media Group? It's just a minor gripe, I know, but I like the idea of having RUclips channels that specialize more in certain areas.
    Is there any reason you'd have to include mobile unboxings and reviews on this channel, instead of making another RUclips channel for that? (or are there contracts and stuff that keep you from doing that?)

  • @K3V0M
    @K3V0M 11 лет назад

    With larger pixels you get pictures with better quality. An extreme example is a DSLR. And larger pixels need less time to catch the same amount of light so you CAN get sharper pictures because there is less time to wiggle. (is wiggle the right word? it sounds strange... i used google translator for this word)

  • @cuddles6938
    @cuddles6938 11 лет назад

    I think if you do a survey most people use one hand on the phone and the other hand to touch the phone screen. Being right handed I used my right hand to hold phone and left hand to touch the screen. I guess I prefer caressing my cell phone rather then poke at it and hurt it's feelings.

    Myself i own htc one, for my hand size i would say its almost perfect size, could be 0.1 inches smaller, specs are perfect and in economic battery mode lasts up to 9 days if i only use it for few calls and for music, what more can i wish! I completely agree that having close to 5 inches phone is really clumsy to use especially when you see every day plenty of people mostly girl who got small hands with s4 which they barely holding with tips of the fingers, it becomes almost like comedy

  • @hiero.

    If you're listening back linus.... Sony is making the Xperia Z1f (mini) which has a 4.3 inch 720p display along with Snapdragon 800 and the 20mp CMOS rear camera. And still boasts that beautiful design.

    Samsung uses LESS Red and Blue pixels on there Galaxy S3 to save money, you don't hear Linus complain. European Galaxy S3 you can Calibrate the screen, the USA model does not let you do this. Being able to tune the Gamma is something us higher tech guy's like doing. The iPhone 5 screen calibration is pretty good compared to other products.

  • @denzelbukas2941
    @denzelbukas2941 11 лет назад

    Sony Xperia Z1 Mini is basically the Z1 so I would count it as a flagship, just a smaller display as far as I know. It's also (I think) the only "mini" that has the same specs as it's bigger brother, unlike One mini to One or S4 mini to S4 and yeah.

    He has mentioned it many times. He pretty much hates the physical durability of the connector since nowadays people aren't too gentle with electronics and micro usb is easy to break. Especially if you for example (he used the same example on a livestream) you plug your phone in a power bank and shove it in your pocket.

  • @DarkR3bel
    @DarkR3bel 11 лет назад

    It's because Micro USB isn't nearly as robust as Mini USB (he hates micro, not mini.) or a full size USB port. He has had several of them break and they are very easy to break, and they unplug very violently if you trip on them or accidentally hit the cable.
