For those AT&T customers that want the HTC One with a little less screen (and price), here's some good news: the HTC One mini is one step closer to its release date, as the AT&T version reportedly passed through the FCC recently.
The news comes from Android Police, via Engadget, which reports that AT&T is preparing press shots with the AT&T logo on the back of the HTC One mini, and that the HTC One mini was found having gone through review at the FCC, according to the agency's documents.
This update comes a few days after the HTC One mini was seen going through global certification at the Global Certification Forum. The HTC One mini, now seen going through review in the U.S. at the FCC, specifically shows support for AT&T's LTE network, along with HSPA+, or 3G support. What this means is that the HTC One mini has passed one more hurtle on its way to AT&T stores, so a release date can't be too far away.
Here's the press shot of the HTC One mini for AT&T that leaked to Android Police:
According to Engadget, HTC will likely avoid trying to release the HTC One mini across all the major carriers, like T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon, the way HTC did with the HTC One. A little evidence for that might be found in the fact that the HTC One mini found in the FCC's review process supports HSPA+, but not T-Mobile's particular specification.
The HTC One mini is the slightly smaller, pared down follow-up device to the HTC One, which was largely a critical success, but has cost the company its revenue margins because of lower than expected sales and high manufacturing costs. The HTC One mini comes with a 4.3-inch display with 720p resolution and is powered by a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor clocked at 1.4GHz and 1GB RAM.
Like the HTC One, the HTC One mini comes with an Ultrapixel camera, HTC Sense 5 and Zoe camera software, and an aluminum chassis, though the edges of the HTC One mini are plastic to save on manufacturing costs. There's still no official release date for the HTC One mini on AT&T or some other possible networks, so visit Latinos Post Tech for more information as it becomes available.
