Customer Review

I have bought the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini used (like new) over the Amazon seller rebuy.
The unit I have now tested through its paces for a few days and can also lead to the battery life to report some, since even the battery has enough charge cycles behind.

For clarity here a small division:

1. My smartphone experience and my claims for a perfect phone
2. list of smartphones that I until now had in hand (+ the reason why I did not keep)
3. What compact smartphones come currently in question?
4. The Galaxy S4 mini from my perspective
5. Conclusion

. 1

I'm not a novice smartphone both Android and Apple devices had and am very interested in the youth field and reading series as tests and reviews.

For some time I am looking for a smartphone that can be anywhere in the My Iphone 4 32gb replace. To date, I have ordered many models and they returned frustrated after a few days.

My claims are certainly lifted, but it should be every major mobile phone manufacturers can meet these.
My dream phone meets the following criteria:

- (Rausfallen Iphones) Low SAR value
- Compact housing (Display <4.3 inches - fall out almost any Android smartphones)
- Long lasting battery (but I'm not a power user, I look often times on your mobile phone, especially for Whatsapp, Facebook and email.)
- Cash and usability (The phone should offer a good compromise between a sufficiently strong processor that is not too battery hungry anyway)
- Good audio quality over headphones (The point of bothers me in many Android smartphones and the Apple is the model!)

Windows 8 is certainly an alternative, but I can not make friends with the design simple.

I had been following smartphones in my possession, with whom I was more or less satisfied.

- Iphone 3gs (After Firmware Update slow and jerky operation, high SAR value)
- Iphone 4 (After updating to iOS 7 very slow and choppy - infected as a system behind it ?! + high SAR value)
- Sony Xperia P (Very very weak battery, not even held a half-day, yellowness in the display)
- Sony Xperia SP (Very nice smartphone with very poor wifi reception and Wall Camera + to my mind almost too big)
- Sony Xperia J (to weak processor / memory, very jerky operation - however before Jelly Bean + too little internal memory)
- Samsung Galaxy S3 pebble blue (very good smartphone with a partially annoying creaking of the Home button, the color pebble blue deviates greatly from the pictures on the Web from, the Home button is purple and otherwise has the entire unit depending on the light a light purple stitch, besides, I could not get used to the size of me even after several days.
- Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus (Lousy audio quality over headphones, frequent system crashes)

Alternatives for compact smart phones there is currently little.
Very often the "mini" versions of the huge top models very slimmed down to and there is a lack of comfort, performance, battery and the memory.

For the following models I had pulled a purchase to consider:

- HTC One mini (no expandable memory, high value-Sar + Connect high radiation factor)
- LG E460 (too little power)
- Sony Xperia M (too little power / very low internal memory)

all other devices are currently either too large or absolute beginners smartphones.

Rumors of a "mini" version of the Sony Xperia Z1, which in a smaller enclosure with 4.3 inch display is to offer the same specs must prove themselves.

Now for the Galaxy S4 "mini" (The size is comparable to the iPhone 5).

I had the basis of prior reviews before these points anxiety:

- Poor network and poor WiFi reception (in my opinion has the S4 mini, a very very good reception quality in both normal cellular network and the Wi-Fi wireless reception throughout the house a bit better than my iPhone 4, the non hitherto that! plus ultra in comparison to all other devices was that I had in possession!)

- Poor processing (Even that is not true, the processing is typical Samsung very high, despite plastic, and do it visually and sensually a high-quality impression..)

- Poor battery (This is partially true During normal use, especially for games, the battery proves to be very persistent, and I'm far more good throughout the day, but the operating system draws applied despite the flight mode on the night much battery I.! have already complied with any advice, however, is no improvement occurred, this should be a bug of Android since Ice Cream Sandwich and will hopefully be fixed soon, until then I turn my phone off at night completely problem -.. temporarily - solved).

- Insufficient internal memory (the memory of the Galaxy S4 mini is sufficient for normal users completely from the S4 mini also gives you the opportunity to outsource some apps and games on the SD card are with me after I all my important apps and four!. have medium to large installed games yet about 3GB of internal memory free! Music and images are on the SD card.)

As the S4 mini arrived my first thought was: "That looks really good!", And it is actually very nice to look at. This round design of the Galaxy S3 series is gone, what remains is a very nice straight chrome frame the optically neatly making ago. Of course, this is all a matter of taste, but that is s4 mini in my opinion after the iPhone into anything.

In addition, I noticed:

+ Good workmanship (but pressure point of the on-off button may be a little more crisp!)
+ Good display (adequate brightness, good automatic control, beautiful color reproduction, sharp enough! A Full HD resolution with a 4.3 inch display does not need one!)
+ Beautiful Android OS
+ Apps can be moved to SD card (otherwise not possible with Android 4.0 or higher!)
+ Good voice quality
+ Very good CPU and memory power! Liquid handling and almost all games run without problems. Keys respond when writing very fast!
+ Good camera! (As Galaxy s3)
+ Low SAR value!
+ Sufficient internal memory

+ - Battery life (high battery consumption in flight mode, otherwise absolutely fine should be fixed by an update!.)
+ - Audio quality (much better than the Galaxy S2 plus, but not at the level of an iPhone 4 or Galaxy S3, but for listening to music enough!)

- Poor loudspeakers (Similar to the Galaxy S3, here make the iPhones and HTC a better job!)

The perfect compact smartphone is not also the Galaxy S4 mini. However, it is currently the best compromise if you have similar expectations as I did.
The S4 mini affords small Patzer, which prevent a top rating.
While it works fast enough, here Samsung has done a good job and the S4 mini missed a smaller processor and conceded a good compromise between performance and endurance, but it lacks the s4 mini on a good battery management and a "just" good, something muffled audio quality over headphones along with a bad speaker.

My iPhone 4 has now been nevertheless finally succeeded and I'm very happy with my new phone!

Update # 1: 14:01:14

I have now become the third Samsung Galaxy S4 mini. The first I for the battery problems in standby. The second unit had the same battery problem and, moreover, defective pixels. The third unit now works properly. Am currently really totally happy with the phone. The battery lasts me now about 1.5 days counted the night.
I have twice received a defective device can doubt the quality management of Samsung. My current S4 mini is however processed perfectly, everything works as it should and the audio quality is great for a little gimmick with the frequencies!

Really I can recommend the original Samsung battery replacement kit. So it certainly comes over 3-4 days even without an electrical outlet near to have!
So do not despair if you one of the devices to the battery problem have. This is not the case with all devices or the error has been corrected successfully with the last update!

The Sony Xperia Z1 Compact has now been officially confirmed yet. This will be the first compact high end smartphone! I am currently totally satisfied with the S4 mini, but I am very pleased with the design and feel of Sony devices. If the battery does what it promises and the SAR value is not too high, it will eventually replace the S4 mini.
