TwitterThe Samsung Galaxy S4 mini smartphone is a device that combines the design of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Samsung Galaxy MEGA 6.3 hardware platform. On sale you can find a model with either one SIM slot or two. In this review we will look at the second option.
When describing the appearance and ergonomics of Samsung smartphones, a strong feeling of deja vu arises. In order not to repeat ourselves, we recommend reading the relevant sections from reviews and.
Operating system and shell
The smartphone runs on the Android 4.2.2 operating system with the latest edition of the proprietary TouchWiz shell. You can find out what both of them look like when made by Samsung from the review.
Taking into account the large amount of RAM for a dual-SIM system, there is no need to talk about the interface slowing down; it works smoothly and without delays.
Hardware platform
As was already said at the very beginning of the review, the hardware platform is similar to that installed in the Samsung Galaxy MEGA 6.3 - the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 single-chip system-on-chip is one of the most productive that can be found in Dual SIM smartphones. Unlike MEGA 6.3 with a screen resolution of 1280x720 pixels, the S4 mini has a slightly more modest screen - 960x540 pixels. In view of all this, the benchmark results of the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini and Samsung Galaxy MEGA 6.3 are very close, but not the same.

The autonomy of the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini is another reason to praise the smartphone. In the Antutu Tester application, the dual-SIM phone scored 633 points, having worked for 3.5 hours with two SIM cards installed, one of which is registered in the 3G network. The indicator is quite good, but the smartphone showed much better results in two-hour tests.

When playing a video from Youtube, the display brightness is set to 50%, the sound volume in the headphones is at 12 out of 15 possible levels.
As you can see, almost all the indicators of the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini are better than the Galaxy MEGA 6.3 with a huge battery, the dual-sim Fly IQ444 Diamond 2 and the Xiaomi Mi-2S equipped with a display of the same diagonal and a processor operating at the same clock frequency as the S4 mini.
The sound volume of the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini speakers is average; there were no complaints about the quality of voice transmission in both directions. Similar to the sound from the speakers, there are no complaints about the sound from the headphones. It can't be called loud, but it's enough for most situations. During testing, we never had any problems with signal loss or connection interruptions.
Searching for satellites takes a few seconds; after 10-15 seconds, the smartphone detects more than 15 satellites. The data transfer speed on the Wi-Fi network is average.
Display
The Samsung Galaxy S4 mini smartphone has a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 960x540 pixels. The dots per inch indicator is 256 PPI. The minimum display brightness is 12 cd/m², 50% brightness corresponds to 127 cd/m², the maximum value is 313 cd/m². The indicators are not bad, but no more. Brightness can be adjusted manually, or rely on automatic adjustment.
Camera
The model is equipped with two cameras, 8 MP main and 2 MP front. The main one allows you to record Full HD video, while the front one is limited to a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. The cameras did not present any surprises; the quality of photos and videos can be assessed using the examples below.

The dimensions of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini allow it to be used with one hand without any problems. The device is thin and light. The main material used is glossy plastic. It shows fingerprints easily and leaves scratches quickly. The appearance of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini smartphone follows the design of the flagship.
Screen - 3.6
Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini screen diagonal is 4.3 inches, resolution 960×540 pixels, matrix type is Super AMOLED HD, PPI value is 256, protective coating is Gorilla Glass. The strengths of the screen are bright rich colors, good viewing angles and deep blacks; in addition, Super AMOLED is an energy-intensive screen. Disadvantages - poor display of fonts; they look “loose” and unclear.
Camera
The smartphone has an 8 MP camera with LED flash. The maximum resolution for video recording is 1920x1080 pixels, recording speed is 30 frames per second, sound is recorded in stereo mode.
Working with text - 5.0
The standard keyboard on the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini is convenient, it has a function for entering text using strokes (Swype), as well as the ability to enter numbers without switching to additional symbols mode. Disadvantages - an inconvenient language switching system: you need to hold your finger on the space bar and swipe left or right. To enter most additional characters, including the comma, you need to call up an additional menu.
Internet - 3.0
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini browser is great for browsing the Internet: it has the ability to repeatedly zoom the page with text fitting to the width of the screen and a mode for reading pages without pictures. This mode is convenient to use when reading a large amount of text on the Internet without being distracted by pictures, which is confirmed by user reviews.
Interfaces
The smartphone supports most common wireless interfaces: dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and NFC. The device has the S Beam function, with which you can quickly transfer files, such as photos, music or videos, from one Galaxy to another using Wi-FI or NFC, by placing them back to back. There is no support for Russian LTE frequencies.
Multimedia - 4.6
Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini plays almost any video without preliminary conversion - the device has support for rare audio formats and video containers. You can select audio tracks in the player; as well as subtitles embedded in the video file. The audio player plays most common as well as rare formats, including uncompressed audio in FLAC format.
Battery - 2.6
The battery life of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini is at a good level: the device is capable of playing HD video at maximum brightness for 6 hours, and the music listening mode discharges it in 35.5 hours.
Performance - 1.6
The device uses the Qualcomm MSM8930 Snapdragon 400 platform with a 1.7 GHz dual-core processor, Adreno 305 graphics subsystem and 1.5 GB of RAM. The device has enough power for smooth playback of FullHD video and the ability to play most productive games. In everyday use, the smartphone performed without any complaints.
Memory - 3.0
The internal memory capacity of the device is 8 GB. Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini supports microSD memory cards up to 64 GB; there is no hot swapping.
Peculiarities
The device runs under Samsung's proprietary shell - TouchWiz. In this shell, the manufacturer added its own browser, dialer, SMS client, music and video players, its own weather application and many other programs. The built-in video player supports most third-party video codecs and video formats, making it convenient to watch even unconverted video from your phone. The audio player allows you to listen to music not only by artist, but also by folder. S Memo app is a great note taking app with handwriting support.
More recently, in public pages and on forums one could see caricatures of one of the models of the Samsung concern - the Samsung Galaxy S4. And the point here is not in the technical characteristics, but in the unimaginably large size of the device. Indeed, a “smart” phone should be convenient for work. But how to use a device that doesn’t even fit in your hand... There’s a problem. Many users were delighted with this model. The only thing that bothered me was the size. And in order to fully please its customers, the Samsung engineering team designed a similar, but smaller model, the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini. Customer reviews immediately made the company's management understand: this was a great move. To launch a model on the market that fully satisfies many customer requirements - this is a manufacturer’s dream! What shortcomings were identified after using the device? What is improved in the new Samsung Galaxy S4 mini? Instructions, price and much more - all these and various other points are covered in this article.
General information
On May 31, 2013, a presentation of a new cell phone model produced by a famous Korean concern took place. A smaller copy of its progenitor, the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini, equipped with one SIM card, and the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini duo, but with two active SIM card slots, have characteristics that are quite competitive compared to their analogues. At the same time, the rational price also inspires positivity. All features of this mobile phone, including the size, are a high-quality smaller copy of the current Korean flagship. A dual-core processor instead of four, a lower screen resolution, and the amount of RAM reduced by 500 MB - these features distinguish the small Samsung Galaxy S4 mini from the “great” S4. Let's start the review of the model with the configuration.
What's included in the price
The new smartphone is delivered to the consumer in a small box. The inscription “Samsung Galaxy S4 mini” is engraved on it. Instructions, battery, headphones with various pads, charger with adapter, cable for connecting to a laptop and computer - all this is also in the box. It is noteworthy that the Korean concern has been using accessories in shades different from the color of the phone for quite some time. So, in the package with a black smartphone you can find white headphones. And vice versa. All components fit perfectly into the device and are easy to use. In addition, the price is also attractive: “Samsung Galaxy S4 mini” can be purchased from 13 thousand rubles. The option with two slots will cost several hundred more.
Appearance and characteristics of the case
At first glance, the model in question does not have any special differences from any other smartphones from this company. The exterior design is not unique. There are no bright colors or contrasting details. The polycarbonate back panel flows smoothly into a frame made of the same material, but painted in metal color. The front side of the model with the display is smooth and glossy. It is precisely because of the latter characteristic that any touch to the device leaves a mark. To protect your screen, you can use ScreenGuard, a thin film that prevents unwanted scratches. The advanced Gorilla Glass V2 also helps preserve the display. In general, the phone body is the same: no chips, no dents, no gaps of any kind. As already mentioned, the dimensions of this model are much smaller than its progenitor. But they are not so “mini” either: 12.46 cm in length, 6.13 cm in width, 0.89 cm in thickness. At the same time, the weight of the device is 107 g. In terms of its size, the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini will compete with the notorious iPhone 5 device.
Location of keys and buttons
Various control elements are located on the body of the model. These include an earpiece, front and rear cameras, an on/off button, also known as a lock, a connector for a charger, a headphone jack, a volume sensor, which also adjusts contrast and lighting, and some other functions. Like all Samsung smartphones, this “smart” device has a traditional “Home” key under the screen, which is adjacent to the “Back” and “Menu” touch buttons. In principle, the appearance of the device is quite nice. The manufacturer offers several body color options to choose from: black, purple, white, brown, blue, orange, red, pink and yellow.
Display and communication with the progenitor
The Samsung Galaxy S4 mini is equipped with a screen with a diagonal of 10.9 cm (equal to 4.3 inches) and a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels - approximately 256 ppi. Feedback from owners about this feature of the model is twofold: some are satisfied with the size. Others are not happy with the low resolution. Unlike the flagship Samsung Galaxy S4, the screen of this version is slightly elongated in length. The number of colors in both models is the same and amounts to 16 million shades. Another noteworthy characteristic of the two Korean-made variants is the SuperAMOLED display. Brightness, saturation, and color contrast can be adjusted in the menu.
Battery and its characteristics
The back panel “grows together” with the phone due to sixteen fasteners. The battery is located under it. A small Li-ion with a capacity of 1900 mAh - these are the characteristics of the battery of the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini smartphone. Consumer feedback on battery capacity and lifespan is mostly positive. Of course, Android users have long been accustomed to the fact that a phone with the Internet on and continuous calls needs recharge throughout the day. Those who encounter a device on such a platform for the first time slightly blame the weak battery. The phone is active for 12 hours in talk mode (according to the manufacturer). If you switch to the “Standby/Airplane” function, the device remains on for twelve days more.
System platform, memory and other “internals”
Under the battery there are slots for a SIM card (depending on the model there may be two) and a memory card. Inside the smaller copy of the S4 is a dual-core processor called Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, the clock frequency of which is overclocked to 1700 MHz. RAM 1.5 GB may seem insufficient for the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini. User reviews about this characteristic also highlight the latter fact. However, it is convenient to be able to transfer data and programs from system memory to additional gigabytes of storage. A graphics accelerator called a graphics accelerator is responsible for the quality of images. Inside the device there is an 8 GB drive. You can increase the memory capacity by installing an additional Micro SD card. The device runs on the current version of Android 4.2.2, equipped with the proprietary TouchWiz shell.
We shoot video and take photos
Of course, many users are interested in the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini camera. Photos and videos can be taken using either the front- or rear-mounted device. Moreover, in the latter the number of matrix points is 8 megapixels, and in the first - 1.9 megapixels. When shooting video, the frame capture rate is 30 pictures per second. The maximum resolution for the resulting movie is 1920 x 1080 pixels, and for photos - 3264 x 2448 pixels. At the same time, in night shooting conditions, you can use an LED flash.
Setting up ringtones and other characteristics
Some users note that the ringing sound is too quiet. In addition, vibration, according to a small part of users, is a negative point: being in a noisy place, it is difficult to feel the phone working. It is noteworthy that in the model with two SIM cards it became possible to set ringtones for each operator separately. Data transmission can be carried out through digital technologies such as EDGE, high-speed packet data HSPA and its improved version HSPA+. Essential attributes of a modern smartphone are the presence of such wireless means of transmitting and receiving information as Bluetooth, infrared interface (IR) and Wi-Fi. All this is present in the model under consideration. It is noteworthy that you can control your TV using the infrared port. Samsung Galaxy S4 mini is equipped with the latest versions of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. There is also a 3.5 mm Jack audio output.
New additional features
It is noteworthy that in this smartphone the settings are divided into categories. Now, instead of a list, you can select the parameters you are looking for from tabs in a submenu. It should be noted that the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini also has some functions inherited from the Samsung Galaxy S4. For example, “tracking mode”: the device’s display will not go dark while your eyes are directed at it. In addition, after reading a received message, there is no need to press the call key to connect with the sender: now you just need to bring the device to your ear and the device itself will perform the necessary operation.
Some users note that the new smaller model is not very convenient for typing messages using the keyboard. There is an excellent solution for this problem: an application from GooglePlay called TouchPal X. This program implements the “Swipe-a” technology. What does "sliding through the alphabet" mean? Now there is no need to enter terms via T9 or by letter - just swipe across the keyboard from the first to the last element of the word and the program itself will prompt you with the required concept.
Finally
As a conclusion, I would like to say that the smartphone in question is quite convenient. It has well-developed functionality. The phone is easy to set up. One of the main disadvantages users highlight is the low-power battery. However, I would like to note that almost all mobile phones on the Android platform suffer from this problem. The second disadvantage for many potential consumers is the price. The Samsung Galaxy S4 mini is a little expensive compared to similar models. Although, in accordance with the declared functions, the cost is very justified. Everything is decided by a matter of taste and, of course, the wallet. A variety of colors, good technical support from service centers, the presence of all possible functions, ease of use, application support and the ability to install two SIM cards at the same time make the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini and Samsung Galaxy S4 mini duo a desirable purchase for many.
We have added a new version of the popular “four” Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, a review that summarizes all the most interesting information about this model.
Externally, as promised by Samsung representatives, this phone completely copies the base model, with the exception of dimensions. The reduced “copy” has dimensions of 12.4X6.13X0.89cm and weighs 107g.
Performance and Software
Tests conducted using specialized applications showed that in almost all the main parameters the mini version is inferior to the older S4 model.
Unlike the base model, it uses not an eight-core processor, but a dual-core processor and, moreover, with a clock frequency of 1.7 GHz less by a tenth. Manufacturers also considered it necessary to reduce the RAM by 500MB and leave only 1.5GB. Similarly with the base memory - it is at the level of entry-level budget devices - 8GB. The device runs on the Android 4.2 operating system. The smartphone has a GPS navigation module, a built-in geomagnetic compass, an accelerometer and a gyroscope.
Screen
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini has the following touchscreen specifications:
Pixels per inch: 256;
Diagonal: 4.3’.
The screen supports multitouch technology, which recognizes not only single touches on the screen, but also gestures of several fingers. The screen accepts up to eight simultaneous touches.
The presence of a proximity sensor allows you to block the sensor and dim the screen to save energy when the device approaches your head for a telephone conversation.
The screen is covered with anti-reflective and oleophobic coating. Automatic brightness adjustment in a dark room reduces the brightness, and in the sun, on the contrary, increases it for user convenience.
Camera
Traditionally for smartphones, the S4 mini has two cameras - main and front. The main camera is more powerful and, thanks to the 8 megapixel camera, allows you to take pictures with a resolution of 3264X1836. The camera has good sharpness, and the image digitization algorithms used in the device allow you to take good photographs. The 1.9MP selfie camera has a default resolution of 1280X720. The main camera allows you to shoot video at 1080p resolution. The video is saved in MP4 format. In low light conditions, an LED flash is used. It can be activated automatically if the light sensor shows an extremely low level. The flash can also be activated and deactivated manually.
Battery
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini review would have been somewhat disappointing if it weren't for the battery of this smartphone. A modest 1900 mAh battery by today's standards, with relatively low screen power consumption, allows you to watch videos for twelve and a half hours or enjoy 3D games for a little over four hours. In this regard, the phone outperforms even some flagship widescreen models.
Conclusion
Despite the proud S4 index in the name of the smartphone, it essentially has little in common with the base model; practically only one name remains. The characteristics eloquently tell us that this is a completely different smartphone model in terms of hardware and performance. Of course, marketers made every effort to ensure that the device was sold, even giving it a flagship name, but alas, not its capabilities.
So, in this article we will figure out how much worse or better the younger brother of the Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone is.
The first thing to consider is the appearance of the device called Galaxy S4 Mini. As we already mentioned, it is practically no different from its larger version. The same materials were used in its production, the design contains lines characteristic of the Galaxy line. Except that its display has shrunk to 4.3 inches, the weight has become 107 grams, and the overall dimensions are: 124.6 x 61.3 x 8.9 mm. Thanks to this, it is much more comfortable to hold in your hand than the Galaxy S4, and it is more popular with users who prefer small smartphones to huge phones that sometimes don’t even fit into a pocket.
The Galaxy S4 Mini is made entirely of plastic, and there is still a physical Home button and touch-sensitive Back and Menu keys at the bottom of the device. Both the front panel and the back are painted black, plus diamonds are applied to the metal, which slightly dilute the boring design.
Also at the bottom you can find a microUSB port and a microphone. And at the top there is an infrared port, a second microphone and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Traditionally, on the left side we see the volume keys, and on the opposite side there is a power off/on key.
On the back panel, as usual, there is a camera, and immediately below it is a flash and an additional speaker for speakerphone.
As we already said, the Galaxy S4 Mini has a 4.3-inch display with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels. Its quality is slightly better than that of the Galaxy S3, which has a screen resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The display of the mini-smartphone itself received a Super AMOLED matrix. Some say that such displays are worse, while others, on the contrary, only like these screens. The fact is that these screens display black colors very realistically, but white is the opposite, with an admixture of green or even purple. But all other colors are very bright and saturated.
However, the brighter the screen, the more battery it drains. The Galaxy S4 Mini has a 1900 mAh lithium-ion battery. It would seem why this battery has such a small volume, because it reduces the battery life of the device. In fact, it turned out that 1900 mAh provides sufficient operating time for the phone without additional charging.
Samsung assures that the Galaxy S4 Mini smartphone will last about 10 hours if you talk on the phone for 15 or 20 minutes a day, 3G Internet will last about 4-5 hours and Wi-Fi will last about the same. As for listening to music and watching videos, you should spend an hour on both.
In constant conversation mode, the Galaxy S4 Mini will last about 8 hours; if you listen to music with headphones at full volume and with maximum display brightness, the smartphone will last for 5 hours. If the brightness is minimal, then you can listen to music for 45 hours without recharging the device. Well, when you play, the smartphone will only last 3 hours of battery life.
In addition, the Galaxy S4 Mini supports 2G, 3G, HSDPA, LTE is present only in i9195 models, and, of course, there is also Bluetooth 4.0 HS, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and a microUSB 2.0 port.
Let's move on to something more serious - this is a consideration of the RAM and internal memory of the smartphone, camera, processor, operating system, etc.
The mini-phone received 1.5GB of RAM from Samsung. In principle, this is quite enough for a not very powerful device - it will not slow down, and all programs and applications suitable for it will be able to work perfectly. 900MB of RAM remains for running applications, programs and games; the rest goes to running the processor and operating system.
The internal memory of the phone is 8GB, but only 4GB is allocated for storing applications and similar data. If desired, the user can expand the flash memory using removable media, namely a microSD memory card with a capacity of up to 64GB.
Galaxy S4 Mini received two cameras: a front camera with a resolution of 1.9 megapixels, and a rear view camera with a resolution of 8 megapixels and autofocus. The phone also has a single-section LED flash for shooting at night or in low light conditions. Photos can be produced with a maximum resolution of 3264 x 1836 pixels, and videos – 1920 x 1080 pixels. Video recording is possible at 30 frames per second.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini smartphone has a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor with a clock frequency of 1.7 GHz and an Adreno 305 graphics processor. Although the processor is not the most powerful, it supports almost all modern games and programs.
So far, the smartphone runs on the Android 4.2.2 operating system. It implements all the usual functions characteristic of this firmware. Perhaps an update with the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean operating system will appear soon.
The music is played by a standard player from Samsung, which is installed on many devices from this company. The sound quality is excellent, suitable for listening with or without headphones.
The speaker itself is not the loudest, and the sound from it comes out slightly bassy, but clear.
It is noteworthy that the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini supports FM radio, but the Galaxy S4 Active does not.
To watch videos, of course, there is a video player that reads the following codecs: H264, Xvid, DivX and video formats such as AVI, MP4, MKV, WMV. Well, if you prefer to watch movies in other formats, then it is better to download any video player suitable for you from the Google Play market.
The cost of this device is 16,000 rubles. A little expensive for such an average device. However, if you prefer small 4-inch displays and are happy with its power and design, then the Galaxy S4 Mini is worth a look.
