Mini versions of flagship devices are very popular - it's almost certain that we'll see one for the (M8). Is there interest in a Mini version if the specs are identical or slightly less than what the M8 will offer?
Only if the internals are identical, which the rumours aren't saying, unfortunately. I was really hoping for HTC to go the Sony route with their mini devices. That being said, I'm sure that the M8 mini will be a fine device, and we'll seen what the internals end up being!
