My first smartphone was a Galaxy Young, which was perfectly adequate for my initial needs. But after three years, I wanted something more, which the device could should (it did not) and to avid and intense internet research I chose the Galaxy S3 Mini decided (in red).

The S3 Mini is still well in hand, it is even lighter than the young
* Top *
Price / performance ratio * Top * (At the store I would definitely have to pay a lot more)
The display is large enough to display messages and games. Bigger must really not be for me. And it still fits into trouser pockets, so you do not need additional phone pocket, which you probably sometime just can not tuck the ever larger models ^^ (Augenzwinker)
Height, weight, appearance = 1 Star
The always prevailing statements regarding the rising heat, playing etc, yes, correct. Especially when I'm playing my previous two games installed apps, I realize that heats the rear housing.
* Irony on * Can winter be handy when you hold it in your hands (or his face) ^^ (Augenzwinker) * irony off *
Knowing this and has no problems with it, no point, it is acceptable therefore deduction, as I was informed about this shortcoming.
On the subject Apps:
In my young I could not install any additional apps without runterzuschmeißen again at the next update my Messanger this or not to install it. The young comes with Android 2.3 and therefore little storage space.
The S3 Mini with Android 4.2 has (so far 6 pieces) installed all my apps without bitching and I still have space * Top *
Apps, storage (incl. Extension possible) = 1 Star
The built-in flashlight, called Assistant Light (mine placed directly on the home screen), is great. The light is white, bright and can be like a normal flashlight to find his way in the dark, etc.
To lock its screen by means of brushing, pattern, password, face and voice recognition Also the function, thus offering something for everyone Matching * Top *
Flashlight function, several Entsperrungsmöglichkeiten = 1 Star
The removable battery enjoys well as some smartphone owners, at least me and therefore * Top *
The color choice of smartphones what I think is good. Have decided personally for a red machine. The color is like a warm Bordeaux red and is compared to all black appliances a looker * Top *
The possibility of other smartphones the same type data, music etc to exchange, where you put only back to back both devices * Top *
S-Voice (Siri speak the Samsung ^^) works well so far. I can now communicate with my phone in this way, I find * Top * and she has found such as snack bars in my town when I called corresponding input.
(Good girl (voice Female) ^^)
removable battery, color selection, S-Voice = 1 Star
Somewhat more difficult is designed inserting the SIM card from the young to the S3 Mini. No matter how I tried to insert the SIM card into the new phone, the device is not recognized. Then also a part broke off the border of the simcard and it was nothing more. Only experts to whom I gave my only 2-days-old device could remedy the situation and now sits the SIM card, all my contacts has again and runs fine. * Thumbs up * means
As for battery life, unless you're a gamer when it comes to games apps, the device does not have to recharge every day (every 2nd day tuts). If you play (as I at the beginning still) a little more, it can happen that one evening the device immediately must hang on the socket.
All in all a great device, which I do not want to miss. I can recommend it with a clear conscience as far.
*** Addendum on 11/08/2014 *** Smartphone now have one month in use ***
The voice quality when making calls is * Top *
When requesting information, if I was good to understand the answers came when I would stand beside them. The same I can say of my interlocutors. Thus, also here nothing to complain about. No noise, no cracking or otherwise.
