Samsung Galaxy S4 mini is available in India for Rs 25,000 which is bit high according to us. The device has good build quality and the users who don't want to opt for the Galaxy S4 can surely check out S4 mini. We really liked the battery life and camera of the device.

Build Quality; Camera; Batter life

Low display resolution; Dual Core

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini is exactly how you'd expect it to be - it offers a scaled-down version of the full-fat S4 for a lower price. The bright screen, expandable storage and great camera make it one of the best mid-range Android devices available at the moment, but when you consider that the S4...

If the size of the Samsung Galaxy S4 was the only thing that put you off it, the compact S4 Mini should be the answer you're looking for.

Neat, compact design; Good camera; Impressive battery life; really bright display

Not full HD; Dual-core processor; Speakers don't impress

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

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.

The baby brother to the Galaxy S4 (review) has taken a shrinking pill to bring its dimensions down to a level iPhone users should be comfortable with, seeing that it is almost the same size of the iPhone 4S (review) .

Looks and feels like a mini version of the S4; Smooth performance thanks to its snappy CPU and good dollop of RAM; Good camera; Expandable storage; You can swop the battery; IR blaster on board

Non-HD display; Has very little in common with the S4 when it comes to software enhancement

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.

The Galaxy S4 mini's internal hardware has also been shrunk down, and not in the physical sense. The 4.3 inch display has a 960×540 resolution, which is half of what the S4 has to offer.

Small is beautiful and the GALAXY S4 mini underlines this more than ever. This is not simply a smaller version of the popular GALAXY S4, it is a well built, fully equipped and affordable smartphone with a metal band around the edges to provide stability and to give it a luxurious look.

this phone is so easy to use even a moron like me can use it. the screen and icons are so clear i can actually see what im doing. pictures are so clear, i can't put the phone down i just keep looking at it for fun. i just love this handset.
