For me, at that time the price was decisive and yet mostly good reviews. From the design I liked it right, the weight is great and the processing very well.
So far, it works perfectly, rare hanger or "freezes" I can count on one hand and in a period of just over 9 months.
After a short time the index was there, which initially deterred me something. But one has something reingefuchst it comes quickly out of hand.
I use it mainly for calls, what Appen, playing occasionally and various apps such as Ever Watch Ex. For all Apps, programs or applications I never had problems with the S4 Mini. When the smartphone is connected to, for example, WLAN can use the S4 Mini as fast small computer. The online connection via the mobile providers on the other hand is a bit slow, but this is not really the end of the smartphone.
Me Samsung has at least convinced here.
