Reviews for the HTC One Remix
Source: Laptop Mag Archive.org version
Even as large phones and phablets pop up everywhere, some people still want a phone they can easily use with one hand. The HTC One Remix is truly the little brother of HTC's M8--it's smaller and less powerful, but still pretty awesome. It gets the job done in a stylish package, and for a free phone, that's a big achievement. I also like the quality dual speakers, BlinkFeed app and 13-MP camera.

What’s also nice about the One Remix is that, while it’s not an exact copy of its flagship sibling, it’s loaded with premium features like a 13-megapixel camera, fashionable chassis, superior front-facing speakers, and a crisp display. That’s quite a leg up over the Moto G, which is currently the world’s favorite mid-range device. The One Remix's higher cost will be its main drawback in the long run, however. It’s $450 off-contract, compared to the Moto G’s sub-$200 price tag, but all those extra features it's bundled might be worth the splurge after all.

There are two ways to look at the HTC One Remix compared to the One (M8): It's either a compromised miniaturization or an affordable alternative with a premium look and feel. I lean towards the latter, even though I would like to see more manufacturers make flagship-level devices for normal-sized hands. With the HTC One Remix, you're getting premium looks in a manageable size for a reasonable price. It's superior to the $25 Galaxy S4 Mini and free LG Lucid 3 in nearly every way. A good alternative for smaller device lovers is the Motorola Moto X$0.01 at Amazon, which Verizon is offering for free at the time of this writing.

Model:
The HTC One Remix is a device constructed to be compact and offer big value in the entertainment department. The minimalist design features sleek curves made from premium metal and fits perfectly in the user's hand. The HTC One Remix weighs 137 g and has the hardware to match its beauty: a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, 1.5 GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage.
Storage can be increased buy up to 128 GB using the MicroSD slot. Focused on multimedia entertainment, the HTC One Remix comes with a stunning 4.5 inch HD720 display panel that renders beautiful colors and HTC BoomSound with front facing stereo speakers. Other features included in the device are GPS + GLONASS, Bluetooth 4.0 with aptX, DLNA for streaming media to a compatible TV or computer.
The main camera is a 13 megapixels at f 2.2 and the device also comes with a 5 megapixel front facing camera. Needless to say the HTC One Remix will take stunning pictures with either camera. Battery life is good with an embedded Li-polymer battery with 2100 mAh capacity.
