I was sadly disappointed with my iPhone 5 purchase from iStore in November 2013. I had high expectations being the owner of a MacBook Pro. The iPhone must be better at home in an environment where signal strength is optimal continuously as it would be in California.

I am new to smart phones (the one it replaced came out of the ark) and I am still learning. However it seems to be a good convenient phone. The keyboard is a bit neat even for small fingers but I am getting used to where I have to press to get the right letter on screen!

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

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

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.

Look wise Samsung galaxy s4 mini was great and the camera quality is very nice but the battery backup is less totall a samsung galaxy s4 mini is a good phone I like it but the price of this phone is little bit high otherwise customers get fully loaded phone with a good prise and costumer have no...

I really like the S4 mini as it is almost the same as the original larger version. I LOVE the size as I have small hands and it is perfect for me. The battery life isn't great but if you don't have all the features running at once its ok.

Samsung seemingly has a smartphone of every size, but the Galaxy S4 Mini marks one of its first premium devices at the smaller end of the scale. As its name suggests, its basically a smaller, cut down version of the original Galaxy S4, and it will shortly be available in Australia.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini is another variant of the wildly successful Galaxy S4. It's basically a smaller, cut down version of that model, and it will shortly be available in Australia.

Compact size and weight; Reasonable specifications; Most familiar Samsung features;

Lower screen resolution; Only 8GB internal memory;

Start with a Samsung Galaxy S4, shrink it down, then replace its insides with midrange components. That, in a nutshell, is the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini. And for some cell phone customers, that's just about ideal.

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 Sprint version has excellent call quality.

The Galaxy S4 Mini has only 8GB of internal storage, and mediocre front-facing camera quality; Data was slow on Sprint's network.
