Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini review
The Samsung Galaxy S4 is a smaller, more affordable version of the Galaxy S4, but does it deliver what it promises?- Fits great in the hand
- Nice screen
- Micro SD
- TouchWiz is a drag
- Plastic design feels cheap
- Less features than the S4
Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (Verizon Wireless)
Just as its name implies, the $49.99 Galaxy S4 Mini is a scaled-down version of the Galaxy S4. And while you don't get such features as Air View or Eraser Mode, you do get a phone that's easy to use with one hand, a built-in remote control and a capable 8-MP camera.- Lots of features
- Easy to use with one hand
- Removable battery and microSD
- Below-average battery life
- Lower resolution and dimmer screen than competitors
- Lackluster audio
Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (Verizon Wireless)
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini is a solid midrange Android smartphone, with a good set of features at an affordable price.
Syncing with 'Samsung kies' is not a seamless experience
Having used an iPhone, Galaxy S4 I found wanting in sharpness of fonts and images, or shall I say, less saturation of pictures. Transfer of music and files from a PC through Samsung Kies SW proved a frustrating and time consuming and annoying experience.- Bright display
- Inexpensive
- Lightweight
- ergonomic design
- flip cover option
- Poor quality
- Not high def
- Did not meet expectations
- flimsy back cover
- too high saturation of colors
- hassle some transfer of syncing
- poor quality of kies sw
I will always own a Samsung Galaxy.
I previously owned a Samsung Galaxy 4G - the first one out and used it until I recently bought my current phone which is a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini. I am a lifetime fan of the Galaxy. I love the size of the mini (which is actually about the same size as the original Galaxy 4G).
Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini review Review
While the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini doesn't have the same impressive lineup of specs as its illustrious relative, it still packs plenty of power and a decent screen into a very comfortable little body. It's just a shame it's so expensive.- Small
- comfortable size
- Vivid screen
- Plenty of power for most tasks
- Decent camera
- Mid-range specs don't justify high price
- Multitude of settings won't appeal to newbies
If good things do indeed come in small packages, the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini has all the ingredients needed to be a big treat. Not only does it bear the same name and design as one of the best smartphones around, it also offers a Super AMOLED display and LTE for great looking, very fast mobile...
- Compact form factor
- Great battery life
- Expandable memory
Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini review
There's certainly something of a trend in terms of producing small versions of top of the range handsets. HTC has recently done this with its One mini, and Samsung has shrunk its flagship handset to produce this Galaxy S4 Mini, having started the trend off with its Galaxy S3 Mini.- Impressive display
- Decent processing power
- A good size for average hands
- Some Galaxy S4 features missing
- Low screen resolution
- Not enough internal storage
Samsung's Galaxy S4 Mini on par with on Motorola, HTC
Its reliable specs and availability on four carriers make the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini an easy-to-find midtier buy, but you should also compare the S4 Mini with its substantial competition.- The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini brings a strong feature set for a midrange phone
- including Android 4.2
- a dual-core processor
- and an 8-megapixel camera.
- The Galaxy S4 Mini has only 8GB of internal storage
- and mediocre front-facing camera quality.
