Enough power even for higher claims
After the predecessors Galaxy S2, Galaxy S3 and the Galaxy S4 excellent sales, Samsung has launched the S4 mini, a smaller but still very powerful smartphone. In contrast to its bigger brother, the screen size falls while out noticeably shorter, 4.3 inch Super AMOLED display is convincing nonetheless. Even with the lack of HD resolution, the display is very rich in contrast and sharp. Expands to the comparison, to the overall performance of the phone, it will be appreciated that savings are made in the processor. For the South Koreans set a 1.70 GHz Snapdragon 400 Plus dual-core processor instead of a quad-core processor with 1.9 GHz. Due to the small display, however this is perfectly adequate to support the device and any applications.

About a built-in microSD card reader, the memory can be expanded up to 64 GB. The entire body is made of sturdy polycarbonate and is available in black, brown and white available, so end customers come with an affinity for design at their expense. With 107 grams the device falls out easily and is due to the good processing well in hand. The 8-megapixel camera with full HD camcorder, LED flash on the back and 1.9 megapixel on the front serve their purpose, although the quality is better suited for snapshots. The only negative is the lack of a CMOS sensor and a non-constant available autofocus.
