Do you know anyone wanting a mid-range phone?
I think I’d rather wait for the HTC One M4. Need to upgrade my wife’s phone and after playing around with my HTC One M7, I think the M4 will do her just nicely. Question is, now that Samsung have confirmed their GS4 Mini, how long will HTC wait before announcing the M4. And this is HTC’s biggest problem. They simply are not proactive enough. By the time they announce the M4, most people waiting for a mid-range phone will have jumped onto the Mini. Poor strategy for mine and explains why HTC are struggling.

The good ol’ GSII isn’t so different.
