Samsung S4 mini vs HTC One Mini

[mushRTID]

So, like you do, stuffed my iphone up at leeds mud fest up 2 weeks back and need a new phone.

Anyone got either of these that iv narrowed it down to? Would you recommend it?
cheers

If the S4 mini is even half as good as it's standard counterpart then I'd go with that as in my opinion the technology behind that phone is way above anything else on the market. Although both the HTC One and S4 are very good phones.

Does it have to be the mini variant (of either)?

Both are compromises.  Go for the full sized one (of either).

Nokia brick every time! Anyone for a game of snake?

How quaint.

My father in law has an old Nokia clamshell.  He says to me tonight "Its time I got a new modern phone".  My heart sank.

This is the man who calls his laptop a "flat-top" and his satnav a "stat-nat".

Got the S4 mini and love it!

Rob, I find the screens too big on the standard phones, over the top really for what I need.

I've just swapped my HTC for the Samsung mini, worlds apart, so much better.

Phones are always good when you first get them. It's only over time when you realise just how good/shite a phone is IMO

Fair comment,  mate. I have sausage fingers so the bigger the better for me. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note and I think it's a bit small.
