Great phone, pocket sized with sufficient features to keep me occupied (I'm not a stare at my phone every two minutes type of person). Phoning, texting, surfing all great. Camera appears good, but as I have "proper" photographic equipment this hardly gets used.

I have come across all the reviews of S4 mini and still not able to decide weather to buy this cell phone or not ..can somebody help me out..............

This phone is not made my Samsung, but a mom and pop shop out of Florida. It broke after a few months and Samsung does not recognize the manufacturers warranty on these phones.

I love this phone except for one thing. The battery dies 6-8 hours after unplugging it with a full charge. I would expect it to last at least twice that long. I have to plug it in whenever I have the opportunity to do so, every day, or my phone dies. This is somewhat inconvenient and annoying!

This Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini has service problems. It does not retrieve mail. I have several Hotmail and Yahoo mail accounts set up on it, and it does not go out and get the mail. At 8am this morning I finally got an email that was sent to me at 6pm the prior evening. NO thank you !!

The latest from South Korean brand is a smaller version of the Samsung Galaxy S4, best termed as Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini - it has been built for better comfort and hassle-free handling.

Fits comfortably in hand; Nice screen; Good camera; Fast processor

TouchWiz felt bit drag; Prone to fingerprints; Low brightness; Less features than S4; No health apps like S4

It's faulty and becomes slow very quickly. Also, it starts to look worn even after a short time of use and even when covered from the start. Wouldn't be using it if I didn't need it. It will get on your nerves so if you can afford something better, avoid this.

Aesthetics; lasting accessories

Too small, lags, can't hear other person on the line or vice versa, doesn't support certain apps; List goes on

While more people than ever are flocking to big-screen phablets, some consumers still prefer a device that's easy to use with one hand. Enter Samsung's Galaxy S4 Mini, which is $49.99 on Verizon Wireless and competes directly with the Droid Mini.

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's Galaxy S4 Mini is a decent mid-range Android phone for those who like iPhone-like screen sizes. But unless you're wedded to the idea of a subsidized phone, there are cheaper options that deliver better performance.

Free on contract with Sprint; Nice-looking AMOLED screen; Compact size is one-hand-friendly; Expandable storage

Lower-res screen than competition; Some performance stuttering; Battery life could be better

I wanted a small cellphone and I really wanted a Samsung. The only other small phone was an IPhone and that would have a learning curve for me. This was a refurbished cellphone and it was in excellent condition.
