There's a lot of over-using and recycling going on lately over at Samsung. Design, materials, names. Whether we talk about the Galaxy S 4 Zoom, Galaxy S 4 Active , or the Galaxy S4 mini, which we're currently reviewing courtesy of our friends over at Clove.co.uk , the company seems to (over)use and...

The Samsung Galaxy S4 mini we reviewed is the GT-I9195, meaning it has LTE capabilities; It was supplied to us by our friends over at, Clove.co.uk, from where you can buy it/import it from.

-like performance, but it was definitely there with its bigger brother, the S4, The Samsung Galaxy S4 mini we reviewed is the GT-I9195, meaning it has LTE capabilities; It was supplied to us by our friends over at, Clove.co.uk, from where you can buy it/import it from.

Android smartphones are certainly getting bigger overall. But there are more than a few smaller-screened Android devices available as well. Not too long ago, we took a look at HTC's One Mini, with a 4.3-inch screen.

In Samsung's playbook, a mini version of the top smartphone is typically the first new addition to a flagship's fleet. Sticking close to a proven formula, the Galaxy S4 mini is a downsized and down-priced edition, but one that certainly wants to live its own life instead of just being the poor man's...

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE; quad-band 3G with HSPA; LTE, 4.3" 16M-color qHD Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen; 256ppi, Android OS v4.2.2 Jelly Bean with TouchWiz UI, Dual-core 1.7GHz Krait CPU, Adreno 305 GPU; Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset, 1.5GB of RAM, 8 MP autofocus camera with LED flash, 1080p...

720p screens available in the price range; No Air View; Air gestures or Multi-view; Underpowered; compared to the Galaxy S4; Played out design

Dimensions are important to me; I don't like 'phones' that don't fit in pockets. I was going to buy the Sony Xperia Z3 compact, but found it bulkier, heavier, and it wastes some of its screen to the three function keys, whereas with this phone you get all screen and no waste of space (buttons at the...

Lightweight; Fits in your pockets; Great performance; Great value; Will survive multiple drops on hard floors

Telstra edition sucks; Sound quality a bit average when conferencing; No LED indicator; TouchWIZ

With the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini , t he South Korean manufacturer hit a bull's-eye once again. The smartphone is aimed at consumers who are looking for high performance but don't want to carry around a device practically half the size of a tablet.

Good performance; Main camera results; Manufacturing quality; Communication equipment; Infrared port; Very good display; Despite the fact that it has a plastic case; the smartphone feels good in your hand - you get the sense that it's high-quality and tough.

Price, Slightly high temperature, Low resolution front camera, The Galaxy S4's Full HD resolution is enticing; We'd like to have seen a higher resolution on the S4 Mini

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.

The new Galaxy S4 Mini comes out only a few months after the S4, a much quicker turn-around than the six months it took for the S III Mini to appear after the original S III. The S III Mini must have done quite well in terms of sales and didn't have a negative impact on the S III, because now all...

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

Great phone, very pleased with it. We even purchased a second one. This phone allows use in the USA and Ecuador, just swap out your SIM card. The size is perfect, big enough to do everything but not one of those new huge models. I don't have a single complaint about this phone.

It's hard to mention the Samsung Galaxy range of smartphones without mentioning the sheer range of devices that it covers, from the highest end powerhouses such as the Samsung Galaxy S4 , all the way through to the wallet-friendly Samsung Galaxy Fame .
