  • 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

  • But somehow it seems stylish too.And it runs almost exactly the same software too

  • Limited storage
  • Too expensive
  • Outclassed by the cheaper Google Nexus 4
  • Pricey
  • Disappointing onscreen keyboard
  • Expensive
  • Dual core
  • Low Screen resolution
  • Samsung Apps
  • Feels unexpectedly sluggish
  • Looks overpriced
  • 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
  • Poor 4-inch display
  • Disappointing 5-megapixel camera
  • Expensive for specs on offer
  • Expensive compared to rivals

  • compact and lightweight, AMOLED display: bright and contrast rich, Use of Android 4.1.1, many apps available, main camera (720p videos, 5 megapixel, LED-flashlight), battery life
  • Transmitting and receiving performance only average, performance not very high, only 12 month warranty, front camera
  • The Galaxy S3 mini is an appealing middle-of-the-road smartphone but definitely keeps its distance from the top model, Galaxy S3. If you are looking for a good sized mobile phone with reasonable operating speed, intuitive operations and a good touchscree...

  • After all of this, I have to admit something – having this phone for a few days, especially throughout the holidays, was interesting. Why? Because despite having the HTC One X+, the original Samsung Galaxy S3, and even the Google Nexus 4 available on ha...

  • Abstract:  Ladies and gentlemen, this is undoubtedly the most powerful Android smartphone at the moment. And it doesn't look like anyone is taking that crown away from the Galaxy S III in a hurry. We have to vehemently defend Samsung against all the criticisms rega...

  • Sturdy build, similar to Galaxy S3, Android 4.1, Excellent performance
  • Expensive, Screen resolution could be higher
  • We really like the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, it might not offer the feature set of the Galaxy S3, but it looks near identical and offers the same experience - with a few compromises. The specification sheet puts the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini firmly in the midd...

  • Elegant and compact design, Comes with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
  • Video recording is soso, The physical buttons could be better
  • The Samsung Galaxy S III mini is a lovely mainstream smartphone. All of a sudden, the Galaxy S III's “nature-inspired” design looks and feels right in your hand. The device is easy to hold and operate, while its 4-inch screen is big enough to provide ...

  • 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....
