Globalworkmobile.com has given us the opportunity to prove to you the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini is a smartphone that mimics the lines of the older brother Galaxy S4 .
For those looking for a smartphone with small dimensions l ‘ S4 Mini can be the solution, thanks to the excellent price of 309 €.
Nell’unboxing we saw the contents of the box and the aesthetic characteristics that are identical to those of ‘ S4 instead display and hardware are very different.
Aesthetics. As mentioned aesthetically ‘s S4 Mini takes in everything and for all the lines and design of the’ S4 , but with a qHD display with 960 × 540 pixels and 253ppi enclosed in a diagonal of 4.3 inches. The vibrant colors of the Super AMOLED display can be changed from “ screen ” in this settings .
Present the light sensor and proximity, it lacks the LED notifications. The light sensor works very well in the light of the sun less in low-light situation.
Hardware. The real difference with the ‘ S4 is located under the deck with a 400 dual-core Snapdragon processor at 1.7 GHz, but it works really well together to 1.5GB of RAM. The system is very smooth and fast thanks to the fact that many of the features found on ‘ S4 here there are, in particular, the Air Gesture, which does not see it as a failure, indeed. This allows the battery, along with the low resolution of the display, they can last up to evening with no problems though with an amperage “limited to only” 1900 mAh. The 8GB of ROM are supported by the ability to insert a microSD up to 64GB, and even the SIM card must be in Micro version, both of which should be placed under the battery.
Software. The Android version is the 4.2.2 , the same on this’ S4 , and with the same interface, with four tabs, the interface is the Touch Wiz UX Nature , just like the ‘ S4 , which allows great customization .
The 8 MPx camera takes photos and videos from unquestionable quality, the videos in Full HD, even for the front camera. Below you can have a demonstration of the images taken with the camera of ‘ S4 Mini and a demo video at end of article.
The interface is typical Samsung , present on all the latest smartphones, with settings such as face detection and smile detection, image stabilizer and the ” Rich color “(HDR). Between shooting modes, in addition to automatic settings, we find “beauty face”, “best shot”, “best face”, “audio-and-shoot”, “panoramic”, “sport” and “night.” Several filters are available and the ability to manually balance the various parameters such as white, ISO, contrast etc..
Connectivity. are supported networks Quadband GSM / GPRS / EDGE quad-band UMTS / HSPA and LTE. Among other features include connectivity Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n dual-band, DLNA, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi hotspot, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, microUSB 2.0 port (MTP and PTP), infrared port, accelerometer, gyro, receiver A-GPS support and GLONASS with much surprise there is also the FM radio that many reviews are no longer accustomed to seeing on a smartphone.
The browser has improved in recent times and with the upgrade to Android 4.3 will further improve, good browsing speed even with a heavy site like The Verge where he suffered only render the page as is also the case for the top of the range home Samsung .
Part mail. Very good quality of signal reception and audio via earpiece, Samsung has definitely improved in this. Also good quality speakerphone with the clean sound but not very high. You can quickly search the phonebook via the numeric keypad.
The email client, classic Samsung allows you to manage IMAP folders and display HTML-formatted messages. The keyboard of the Samsung is very fast and accurate and that I prefer to Google but presents a “feed” via vibration. Present, of course, SMS and MMS with the keyboard that allows quick entry and the ability to choose the 3 × 4 keypad QWERTY beyond that.
Multimedia. The video player play without problem all file types, including Full HD, DivX and MKV, as you will see in the video review. The audio player allows you to manage playlists, search by album, artist, year, title or composer and play files from other sources. Best audio quality speakerphone with respect to the Service, provided that further improves through the headset.
Applications. now the standard package of applications included among which are the proprietary ones like ChatOn, Group Play, S translator, S Memo, Photo Album, WatchON, Samsung Apps, Samsung HUB, S Voice, Samsung Link and also we find Flipboard and advisor.
conclusions.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini is a smartphone from the price level and the characteristics of the medium, but it offers a user experience very pleasant and comfortable thanks to its small size and light weight given by its 107 grams.
certainly guessed a purchase for those who do not want to spend too much money for a top of the range and at the same time want a device that offers good performance, with the ‘ S4 Mini will have all of this. Another positive note is the arrival short update to Android 4.3 Party today from Canada.
Good battery life, good camera and the phone in recent years Samsung has improved a lot. The only flaw is the amount of internal memory with 8GB of which only 5.40 GB available to the user, which in the long run are a few for those who download a lot of applications or games.
