So, in this article we will figure out how much worse or better is the younger brother of the Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone.
The first thing to consider is the appearance of the device called Galaxy S4 Mini. As we have already mentioned, it is practically no different from its enlarged version. The same materials were used in its production, the design contains the lines characteristic of the Galaxy line. Unless he has reduced the display to 4.3 inches, the weight has become 107 grams, and the overall dimensions are as follows: 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 do not even fit in their pockets.
Made entirely of plastic, the Galaxy S4 Mini still houses the 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 below you can find a microUSB port and a microphone. And at the top is an infrared port, a second microphone and a 3.5mm audio jack. By tradition, on the left side we see the volume keys, and on the opposite side there is a power off / on button.
On the rear panel, as usual, there is a camera, and immediately below it is a flash and an additional speaker for hands-free calling.
As we 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 the Galaxy S3, which has a screen resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The mini-smartphone display itself received a Super AMOLED matrix. Someone says that such displays are worse, while others, on the contrary, like only 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 it consumes battery power. 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 battery life without additional recharging.
Samsung claims that the Galaxy S4 Mini can last about 10 hours if you talk on the phone for 15 or 20 minutes a day, 3G Internet will work for about 4-5 hours and Wi-Fi is about the same. As for listening to music and watching videos, you should spend an hour on them.
In the constant conversation mode, the Galaxy S4 Mini will last about 8 hours, if you listen to music on headphones at full volume and with the maximum brightness of the display, then 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 only present in the i9195 models, and of course there is Bluetooth 4.0 HS, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and a microUSB 2.0 port.
Let's move on to a more serious one - this is a consideration of the operational and internal memory of a 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 applications, programs and games, the rest goes to the processor and operating system.
The internal memory in the phone is 8 GB, but only 4 GB is allocated for storing applications and similar data. If desired, the user can expand the flash memory using removable media, namely, microSD memory cards up to 64GB.
The Galaxy S4 Mini received two cameras: a front camera with a resolution of 1.9 megapixels, and a rear 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 taken at a maximum resolution of 3264 x 1836 pixels and videos at 1920 x 1080 pixels. Video recording is possible at 30 frames per second.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini smartphone received a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 dual-core 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 toys and programs.
So far, the smartphone is running Android 4.2.2 operating system. It implements all the usual functions specific to this firmware. Perhaps soon there will be an update with the operating system Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.
The standard player from Samsung, which is installed on many devices of this company, plays music. The sound quality is excellent, suitable for listening with or without headphones.
The speaker itself is not the loudest, and the sound comes from it 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 store.
The cost of this device is 16,000 rubles. A little pricey 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 closer look.
More recently, in public 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, after all, a “smart” phone should be convenient for work. And how to use a device that does not even fit in your hand ... The problem comes out. Many users were delighted with this model. The only thing that bothered me was the size. And in order to completely please their customers, the Samsung engineering team designed a similar, but smaller model, the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini. Feedback from customers immediately made the company's management understand that this was a great move. To launch a model on the market that fully satisfies many of the requirements of customers - yes, 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 well-known Korean concern took place. A reduced copy of its progenitor, the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini, equipped with one SIM card, and the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini duos, but with two active SIM card slots, have quite competitive characteristics compared to their counterparts. At the same time, the rational price also inspires positive. Every feature of this mobile phone, including the size, is a quality downsized copy of the current Korean flagship. A dual-core processor instead of four, a lower screen resolution, the amount of operational memory is 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 a complete set.
What is included in the price
The new smartphone is delivered to the consumer in a small box. It is engraved with the inscription "Samsung Galaxy S4 mini". Instructions, a battery, headphones with various overlays, a charger with an adapter, a cable for connecting to a laptop and a computer - all this is also in the box. It is noteworthy that the Korean concern has been practicing the use of accessories that are different from the color of the phone for quite a long time. So, in the package with a black smartphone, you can find white headphones. And vice versa. All components are ideally suited to 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 a few hundred more.
Appearance and characteristics of the case
In the model under consideration, there are no special differences from any other smartphones of this company at first glance. The exterior design is not unique. There are no bright colors, contrasting details. The polycarbonate back panel flows smoothly into a frame made of the same material, but painted in the color of the metal. The front side of the model with the display is smooth and glossy. It is because of the latter characteristic that any touch on the device leaves a mark. To protect the screen, you can use ScreenGuard, a thin film that prevents unwanted scratches. Also, the advanced Gorilla Glass V2 helps to save the display. In general, the body of the phone is the same: no chips, no dents, no gaps. As already mentioned, the dimensions of this model are much smaller than its progenitor. But they are not so “mini” either: 12.46 cm long, 6.13 cm wide, 0.89 cm thick. At the same time, the weight of the device is 107 g. In terms of size, the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini phone will compete with the notorious iPhone 5 device.
Location of keys and buttons
On the body of the model there are various controls. These include a speaker, front and rear cameras, an on / off button, it is also a lock, a charger connector, a headphone jack, a volume control sensor that 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 color options for the case: black, purple, white, brown, blue, orange, red, pink and yellow.
Display and communication with the progenitor
A screen with a diagonal of 10.9 cm (which equals 4.3 inches) and a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels - approximately 256 ppi - is equipped with the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini. Owner reviews about this feature of the model are twofold: some are satisfied with the size. Others are not satisfied with the low resolution. Unlike the flagship Samsung Galaxy S4, the screen of this variant is slightly elongated. The number of colors in both models is the same and amounts to 16 million shades. Another thing that the two Korean-made variants have in common is the SuperAMOLED display. Brightness, saturation, contrast of colors can be adjusted in the menu.
Battery and its characteristics
The back panel "grows" with the phone due to sixteen mounts. Under it is the battery. A small Li-ion with a capacity of 1900 mAh - these are the characteristics that the battery of the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini smartphone has. Consumer feedback on battery capacity and battery life is generally positive. Of course, Android users have long been accustomed to the fact that during the day the phone with the Internet turned on and continuous calls needs to be recharged. Those who encounter a device on such a platform for the first time, blame the weak battery a little. In talk mode, the phone is active for 12 hours (according to the manufacturer). If you switch to the Standby/Airplane function, the device stays on for twelve more days.
System platform, memory and other "innards"
Under the battery are slots for a SIM card (depending on the model, there may be two) and a memory card. Inside a smaller copy of the S4 is a dual-core processor called the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, clocked at 1700 MHz. 1.5 GB of RAM may not seem like enough for the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini. User reviews of this feature also emphasize 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 an 8 GB storage device is responsible for the quality of the images. You can expand the storage capacity by installing an optional Micro SD card. The device is running the current version of Android 4.2.2, equipped with a shell proprietary development TouchWiz.
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-facing or rear-facing device. At the same time, in the latter, the number of matrix points is 8 Mp, and in the first, 1.9 Mp. When shooting video, the frame rate is 30 shots per second. The maximum resolution for the received movie is 1920 x 1080 pixels, and for the photo - 3264 x 2448 pixels. At the same time, in night shooting conditions, you can use a flash that works on LEDs.
Ringtone settings and other features
Some users note that the call sound is too quiet. In addition, according to a small part of users, vibration can be attributed to negative points: being in a noisy place, it is difficult to feel a working phone. It is noteworthy that in the model with two SIM cards, it became possible to set up ringtones for each operator separately. Data transmission can be carried out using digital technology such as EDGE, high-speed packet data HSPA and its advanced version HSPA+. An integral attribute of a modern smartphone is the presence of such wireless means of transmitting and receiving information as Bluetooth, infrared interface (IR port) and Wi-Fi. All this is also in the considered model. It is noteworthy that through the infrared port you can control the TV. "Samsung Galaxy S4 mini" is equipped with the latest versions of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. There is also a 3.5mm audio jack.
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 desired parameters from the tabs in the 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 display of the device will not go out while your eyes are directed to it. In addition, after reading the received message, there is no need to press the call key to connect with the sender: now it is enough to bring the device to your ear and the device will perform the necessary operation itself.
Some users note that the new smaller model is not very convenient to type messages using the keyboard. There is a great solution for this problem: an application from GooglePlay called TouchPal X. This program implements the Swipe technology. What does "sliding through the alphabet" mean. Now there is no need to enter terms through 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 the desired 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 of users is a low-power battery. However, I would like to note that almost all Android mobile phones suffer from this problem. The second disadvantage for many potential consumers is the price. The Samsung Galaxy S4 mini is a bit pricey compared to similar models. Although, in accordance with the declared functions, the cost is very justified. Everything is a matter of taste and, of course, the wallet. A variety of colors, good technical support from service centers, the availability 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 duos phones a desirable acquisition for many.
Replenished with a new version of the popular "four" Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini review that summarizes all the most interesting information about this model.
Outwardly, as promised by Samsung representatives, this phone completely copies the base model, except for the dimensions. The reduced “copy” has dimensions of 12.4x6.13x0.89cm and weighs 107g.
Performance and Software
Tests carried out using specialized applications showed that in almost all main parameters the mini version loses to the older S4 model.
Unlike the base model, it uses not eight, but a dual-core processor and, moreover, with a clock frequency of 1.7 GHz that is less than a tenth. The 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 Android 4.2 operating system. The smartphone has a GPS navigation module, built-in geomagnetic compass, accelerometer and gyroscope.
Screen
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini has the following touch screen specifications:
Number of pixels per inch: 256;
Diagonal: 4.3'.
The screen supports multitouch technology, which recognizes not only single touches on the screen, but also multi-finger gestures. The screen accepts up to eight simultaneous touches.
The presence of a proximity sensor allows, when the device approaches the head for a telephone conversation, block the sensor and dim the screen to save energy.
The screen is closed with anti-glare and oleophobic coating. Automatic brightness control in a dark room reduces the brightness and under the sun, on the contrary, increases for the convenience of the user.
Camera
Traditionally for smartphones, S4 mini has two cameras - the main one and the front one. The main camera is more productive 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 get good photos. The 1.9MP selfie camera has a default resolution of 1280X720. The main camera allows you to shoot video with a resolution of 1080p. The video is saved in MP4 format. In low light conditions, LED flash is used. It can be activated automatically if the light sensor shows an extremely low level. The flash can also be turned on and off manually.
Battery
The review of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini would be somewhat disappointing were it not for the battery of this smartphone. A modest 1900 mAh battery by today's standards, with a relatively low screen power consumption, allows you to watch videos for twelve and a half hours or four and a half hours to enjoy 3D games. In this regard, the phone bypasses even some of the flagship "widescreen".
Conclusion
Despite the proud S4 index in the name of the smartphone, it essentially has little in common with the base model, practically one name remains. The specifications eloquently tell us that this is a completely different smartphone model in terms of hardware and performance. Of course, marketers have made every effort to sell the device, they even gave it a flagship name, but alas, not its capabilities.
General characteristics
A type
Deciding on the type of device (phone or smartphone?) is quite simple. If you need a simple and inexpensive device for calls and SMS, it is recommended to stop the choice on the phone. A smartphone is more expensive, but it offers a wide variety of options: games, videos, the Internet, thousands of programs for all occasions. However, its battery life is significantly less than that of a regular phone.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
SAR levels refer to the amount of electromagnetic radiation absorbed by the human body while using a mobile device.
| Head SAR (EU) The SAR level indicates the maximum amount of electromagnetic radiation that the human body is exposed to when holding a mobile device near the ear in a conversation position. In Europe, the maximum allowable SAR value for mobile devices is limited to 2 W/kg per 10 grams of human tissue. This standard has been established by CENELEC in accordance with IEC standards following the 1998 ICNIRP guidelines. | 0.298 W/kg (watt per kilogram) |
| Body SAR (EU) The SAR level indicates the maximum amount of electromagnetic radiation that the human body is exposed to when holding a mobile device at hip level. The maximum allowed SAR value for mobile devices in Europe is 2 W/kg per 10 grams of human tissue. This standard has been established by CENELEC following the 1998 ICNIRP guidelines and IEC standards. | 0.361 W/kg (watt per kilogram) |
| Head SAR (US) The SAR level indicates the maximum amount of electromagnetic radiation that the human body is exposed to when holding a mobile device near the ear. The maximum value used in the US is 1.6 W/kg per gram of human tissue. Mobile devices in the US are controlled by the CTIA and the FCC conducts tests and sets their SAR values. | 1.21 W/kg (watt per kilogram) |
| Body SAR (US) The SAR level indicates the maximum amount of electromagnetic radiation that the human body is exposed to when holding a mobile device at hip level. The highest acceptable SAR value in the US is 1.6 W/kg per gram of human tissue. This value is set by the FCC, and the CTIA controls whether mobile devices comply with this standard. | 1.49 W/kg (watt per kilogram) |
