My issue is, going off of the leaked comparison photos, the Mini is almost the same size as the One, making me say "what's the point?". If it's not at least half the size of the One, don't bother, because consumers are going to look at it and say, for dealing with just a little bigger phone I could have significantly better specs.
On the recessed camera lens discussion, it's beyond me on why this wasn't done on the One. What makes it worse is that they have already addressed this issue with previous models (i.e. Evo LTE). After fixing something, why break it again!? I never used a case before, but now I have to so I'm able to set down my One without worrying about scratching/cracking the camera lens.
