If devices like these recently announced LG mid-range handsets can run Lollipop just fine, then I see no reason why the One Mini 2 with similar specs (though a little older components) would be incapable of running the latest Android software. HTC's latest advertising might not have offended you, but misleading customers is a move that has certainly angered a lot of HTC owners.

Those of you who are the disappointed owners of an HTC One Mini 2 can perhaps find a bit of hope in the fact that the Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer does have a history of backtracking after pulling similar stunts. The HTC one Mini 2 is also supported by CyanogenMod and currently running CM12 (Android 5.0), for those who prefer to update manually. We will let you know here if the decision is reversed.
