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.

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

I WOULD TOTALLY RECOMMEND THIS PHONE FOR ANYONE WHO DOES NOT WANT A LARGE BULKY PHONE

FASTER AND A LOT MORE THAN I ORIGINALLY EXPECTED WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THIS ITEM

I DO NOT HAVE ANY CON AS I WANTED A SMALLER MORE POWERFUL MOBILE PHONE

Good cam

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini might be affordable and a true replica of Galaxy S4 but it clacks the aura that makes it special. For a phone with good configurations, Mini looks powerful and might be a good alternative to few of the gargantuan top-tier mobile handsets; still it falls short of the mark.

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

What could have been the best phone on the planet; falls extremely short when it deletes (truncates) contact-notes greater than 950 characters. Verizon says they've never heard about it; as does Samsung. A google search shows this pervasive across carriers since Oct 2013.

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.

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.
