HTC has no plans for a One M9 Mini

If you want a Mini version of HTC's flagship smartphone, the One M9, you'll be disappointed to know that the company has no plans to manufacture a downsized version of the One M9. Jack Tong, president of HTC North Asia, said that the company will no longer manufacture Mini smartphones because the industry is moving towards new smartphones with more than 5-inch display, and so the company wants to follow the industry's trend.

"Overall the industry is moving towards new phones with over 5-inch in size and our product roadmap is close to that of the industry," Tong. Keeping with that mindset, HTC quickly launched the One M9+, a more powerful and feature packed version of the One M9, which according to the company is doing well in the Asian market. The Taiwanese company also launched the One E9+, a more affordable version of the One M9 with a 5.5-inch display.

In the past, HTC launched the One Mini and the One Mini 2 as the mini versions of the One M7 and the One M8 respectively, but now, the company is done with Mini phones.
