  • Unlike the truly boring Sony Xperia J we checked out this week
  • The Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini’s got a bit of panache

  • Pricey
  • Disappointing onscreen keyboard
  • Expensive
  • Dual core

  • This is certainly not a "mini" version of the original Galaxy S3!
  • Limited gaming performances (GPU isn't powerful enough)
  • Screen resolution
  • While it may sport similar software to the Samsung Galaxy S3
  • The S3 Mini’s hardware pales in comparison. The four inch screen
  • Though compact
  • Is a lower resolution 800x480
  • Which looks grainy and old against the pin sharp HD display of its bigger brother. And the 1GHz dual-core processor
  • Though fast enough for watching video and a spot of web browsing
  • Isn’t as scorchingly quick either.The fiv

  • Disappointing 5-megapixel camera
  • Expensive for specs on offer

  • The Samsung Galaxy S III Mini convinces as a smartphone. The hardware may not be the latest and the greatest, but it's powerful enough to ensure a smooth user experience. However, the 'S III' in the name creates expectations that aren't entirely met. Su...

  • Scaled down design, Android Jelly Bean, MicroSD support, Bright Screen
  • Expensive, Dual core, Low Screen resolution, Samsung Apps
  • We really liked the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini. It ticks all the right boxes, and comes in at a very decent price. The truth of the matter is, though, that it's launching right smack bang against the Google phone, the Nexus 4. Every time we looked at the Gal...

  • The Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini delivers Android 4.2, 4G LTE, NFC, and a solid 5-megapixel camera for just $1 on contract
  • Mediocre call quality and internal speed hiccups are two trade-offs for the price, you'll especially notice shutter lag
  • First-time smartphone buyers get a lot for a little with Samsung's year-old Galaxy S3 Mini, but keep in mind that this is no high-end performer.
