Since this is a mini phone our review is also going to be 'mini'. Samsung unveiled its flagship product Galaxy S4's Mini version in India after its launch in the west.
Key Features
- 4.27-inch Super AMOLED Capacitive Touchscreen
- Android v4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) OS
- 1.7 GHz Dual Core Application Processor
- Wi-Fi Enabled
- 8 MP CMOS Primary Camera
- 1.9 MP CMOS Secondary Camera
- Expandable Storage Capacity of 64 GB
- Full HD Recording
Display:
Based on similar design of S4, its mini version features 4.3 inch qHD super AMOLED display that is both wide and clarity is extremely good even though the phone feels pretty compact. You could also use two or more fingers at once.
Processor And RAM
This smartphone is powered by 1.7 GHz dual core processor along with 1.5 GB RAM which allows you to perform our tasks at lightening speed and could make multi-tasking a really easy job (but no multi-window).
Storage:
Galaxy S4 Mini has 8GB internal storage out of which only 5 GB is user accessible. The storage is expandable up to 64 GB via Micro-SD card. This will assure that you can store all your photos and video collection and install as many apps as you can without lack of speed and performance.
Operating System, Camera And battery
S4 Mini will have android 4.2.2 jelly bean OS and a 1.9 MP front camera and 8MP HD rear shooter and
900 mAh battery.
Cost:
The phone costs around
Rs. 27200.
Verdict:
The phone is really good, compact and neat but when it comes to pricing, we think Samsung is cheating its customers. This phone is really not worth 27200 rupees, so if you want to have this phone real bad,We recommend you wait for a month or two before this model flops and prices fall yet another 6k and then buy the phone.
