The Nokia Lumia 1020 and the HTC One Mini are starting to pop up in online shops here in the Philippines. Widget City is actually already offering the HTC One Mini and they just announced yesterday that they will start selling the Nokia Lumia 1020 very soon. Still no word from both Nokia PH and HTC PH on official availability and pricing.
The Nokia Lumia 1020 is one of most much awaited smartphones because of its monstrous 41-megapixel camera coupled with Nokia’s Pro Camera application. It will be available in white, black and yellow.

The Nokia Lumia 1020 will work well on Smart LTE network because it supports Smart’s 2100 LTE band though we are not sure if it will work on Globe’s 1800 LTE band.
The mini version of the HTC One, on the other hand, is priced at P21,490 which is a little steep compared to its rival, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, which has a P16,480 pricetag at Kimstore. Anyway, the HTC One Mini also has LTE capabilities and it supports both Smart and Globe’s LTE bands.
