Before purchasing I have dealt myself with the smart phones from different manufacturers and their models and asked me what is important to me. I have to be honest from the beginning, mainly focused on the models of Samsung. I have this as compared with the other producers, convincing I did not found the competition. An iPhone I have never considered.
Very useful is the way, just once to look at before deciding which models in the store and to take into their own hands. What is the weight, the feel, the design?
1. What'll it be?
*********************************
for this decision I have not used for a long time. Although the models S3 have a nice big screen upwards, but therein lies the problem for me. These models are just too large, you can not just so stuck in your pocket. For me it was clear that a 4 inch display is the right size for me. Since it is then relatively quickly when landed S3 Mini.
2. Do I need the newest model?
**********************************************
I do not need, because after a short time and the latest model is already "old". In addition, the mania ensures always having to have the latest news about my opinion outrageous prices that I am not willing to pay. To me a smartphone is not a status symbol.
3. What should a smartphone offer in principle?
************************************************** *********
For me, these were the most important criteria for the purchase:
- The processing of S3 is perfectly mini.
- The weight is low.
- The internal memory can be expanded with an SD card.
- The battery can be changed.
- I can use a normal SIM card.
- The display has convinced me in terms of colors, sharpness and clarity
- The touch screen works smoothly and without delays.
- The S3 mini has 2 cameras.
- The call quality is impeccable.
- The battery life was not a determining factor for me as me this is actually too low in all smartphones. Ultimately, you have to charge every day after all.
4. Other Features?
*************************
I think it's great that the S3 is charged via a mini mini USB port, which is the way pretty quickly. I am a great friend of uniform connections and have at the moment fortunate that both my Kindle, and my phone and my BlackBerry all can be loaded with the same charging cable, a dream!
The S3 mini offers even NFC, which I also tried. I can befriend me so really is not. The integrated voice control is a blast, which I use as often as possible. About things like Bluetooth you have to actually lose no word that has now really each model.
5. What's to criticize?
********************************
Not much, just a few little things. The maximum volume the phone could be a bit louder when typing on the keyboard, I would like to see the umlauts and if I remove the back cover I'm always afraid that he breaks. But these little things do not justify any depreciation. Just as the relatively low battery life, since that seems to be a disease of all smartphones.
6. How do I protect my S3 mini?
***************************************
But I have now bought several alternatives. Right now I use a booklet cover of mumbi. I love to take a silicone cover, also of mumbi. This is not bulky and you can plug the phone so great in your pocket.
7. What's the price to say?
****************************************
The price is in addition to all the above benefits, a very strong argument to opt for the mini S3. The fact that it is not the latest model, but nevertheless has everything I care about, I have found an unbeatable price-performance ratio.
8. What can I draw a conclusion?
*******************************************
The S3 Mini is the perfect smartphone for me. It has everything I need and even looks outrageously good ;-)
It is a very valuable and processed mature middle class smartphone at a very attractive price. It is so convincing that we now have as I said three pieces of it in the family.
But there's me 5 star and a very strong buy recommendation!
