Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini review

Can the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini match up to its bigger brother?

Fits great in the hand ; Nice screen ; Micro SD

TouchWiz is a drag ; Plastic design feels cheap ; Less features than the S4

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini review

The S4 gets shrunk and we put it through its paces

Scaled down S4 design ; Bright screen ; Excellent camera ; 4G

Not full HD ; Only dual-core ; No notification light ; Awkward microSD port

Takes a lot from the S4 and packages it nicely - plus the technology on board doesn't disappoint, although the CPU might judder at times.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini review

There's a division in the world of smartphones. There are phones that are normal-sized and phones that are super-sized. You will like one type or the other, more than likely, and we naturally seem to fall into the latter, rather liking the bigger...

Fantastic styling, nice size, great screen, decent battery life, loads of features, powerful

Samsung duplicates a lot of Google's features, still expensive, lack of internal storage is a problem, speakers aren't brilliant

When it comes down to it The SGS4 Mini is a terrific little phone. Solid battery performance, brilliant sound quality and a really nice form factor make it lovely to use.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini is an S4 in design, if not quite cut from the same cloth. Pinning the S4 label on it might confuse some, as this smaller-format

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini review

A cheaper, more compact Galaxy S4 with amazing battery life, but the S4 Mini doesn't stand out compared to the competition

Samsung's Galaxy S4 Mini on par with on Motorola, HTC

It may not have the HTC One Mini's style or the Droid Mini's touch-free controls, but Samsung's Galaxy S4 Mini is a midrange Android 4.2 smartphone contender that's available on more carriers.

The ; 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.

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.

Samsung Galaxy S4 mini review

We found the Samsung Galaxy S3 mini to be something of a let-down so it's fingers crossed for its successor, the Galaxy S4 mini. Read our Samsung Galaxy S4 mini review to find out more.

The Galaxy S4 mini is a great mid-range option, offering the same styling – which includes the same mediocre build quality – as its flagship counterpart, with a cheaper price tag. The cameras are good but the screen and storage are both under par....
