Unlike the truly boring Sony Xperia J we checked out this week
The Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini’s got a bit of panache
It takes the same curved styling of the S3
And white hue to boot. It’s plastic
Yes
But somehow it seems stylish too.And it runs almost exactly the same software too
Samsung’s homescreen and navigation screens are colourful and easy to use
And you’ll find the same excellent Pop-U

This is certainly not a "mini" version of the original Galaxy S3!
Abstract: As the name denotes, it is smaller than the original Samsung Galaxy S3. The screen measures 4 inches compared to a 4.8 inch screen on the original design, though this does, by no means, appear inadequate. The screen makes up the majority of the phone's fa...

Unfortunately, all the things the S3 mini does well can't hide the fact there are other phones at this price point and below that offer more. The newer Google Nexus 4 is cheaper and beats the S3 mini in every way in a head-to-head. And a very quick look...
Abstract: This is an Android phone, however if you can cope with the smaller size it can do quite a number of things that you would expect to need a larger device to complete. This is a 112 gram device that slips easily into a pocket or purse....

Sturdy, familiar design; Great battery; Not quite worth the SIMfree price
Middling performance; Average screen
Samsung's mini handset looks and feels like the Galaxy S3, but falls behind in several key areas. The screen doesn't have the sharpness or quality of the original, and the specs aren't up to scratch. We'd advise you look elsewhere for a mid-range handset...
Abstract: Not a bad budget phone, but performance is mediocre and the screen isn't brilliant eitherRating: 3Average: 3 (1 vote) The Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini is the Korean manufacturer's attempt to cash in on the popularity of its flagship handset. It inherits the ...
Poor 4-inch display, Disappointing 5-megapixel camera, Expensive for specs on offer
Whilst the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini might look the part, the handset fails to push the boundaries of its respective market like its big brother has managed to do. Pairing slightly disappointing specs and a run of the mill performance with a price tag that c...
Abstract: Remember that story about Goldilocks and the three bears? The little tike broke into their house, gobbled up some porridge, tried out some chairs and then went and had a kip on all the beds. The naughty little sausage. But what’s “just right” for you e...
