We have all heard about one of the upcoming HTC phones for 2014, HTC One M8, successor of the highly-rated One smartphone last year. But as early as now, rumors of a mini version are already under way.

According to a report by GSM Arena, notorious leakster EV Leaks strikes once more as it tweets what appears to be specs of a miniature HTC One M8, and would probably be called the One M8 Mini, still depending on the name of the upcoming flagship device.

HTC M8 mini (mem_ul): SD400 (1.4GHz x4), 4.5", 720p, 1GB/16GB (+microSD), 13MP/5MP, a/b/g/n/ac, BT4.0, KK4.4.2, Sense6.0, buttons on screen.

In the tweet, EV Leaks almost provides all of the essential details save for the batttery size. Alleged specifications include a 4.5-inch screen with a slightly lower resolution at 720p, a quad-core CPU with Snapdragon 400, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal memory. 

The tweet also mentions a microSD card slot, 13MP of primary camera and a 5MP secondary camera lens, Bluetooth 4.0, Android 4.4.2 KitKat out of the box, Sense 6.0 and the reported on-screen buttons. 

While all of the specs seem midrange-worthy, we take notice of the Snapdragon 400 SoC, which is a little outdated even for a midrange device of this caliber. Whether the other details are true or not, we sure hope SD400 is just a typo and would be replaced by at least a Snapdragon 600. 

We'll get for you more details about the HTC One M8 mini as soon as they arrive.
