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.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (Verizon Wireless)
Samsung has no qualms with bandying about the Galaxy S4 name. The S4 Mini ($49.99 with two-year contract) is the latest permutation in a line that includes the ruggedized S4 Active and the odd S4 Zoom .- Comfortable size
- Excellent call quality
- Long battery life.
- Carrier branding and bloatware.
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).
Specs here are deficient on the tech side
The specs on this site (as of Aug 2, 2013) do not tell you the CPU specs. Other sites and articles have cautioned about the real S4 being Quad Core CPU and this "mini 4" being only a Dual Core CPU.- It's a Samsung
- It's not a smaller S4
- it's more like an S3 or S2
Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini
If you want the Galaxy S4 but this is too pricy or too big for you the Galaxy S4 Mini is a very good alternative. It is not just a smaller size, it has reduced specifications that come with the size reduction in order to get to a reasonable price point.
John, since it runs Android 4.22, I dind´t find anyway to move apps to ExtSD except if you root your phone (doing so there are some apps to move or swap the internal and external memory) and, by the way, losing the waranty.
- small
- performance
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
