TheSamsung Galaxy S4 Mini (stylized asSamsung GALAXY S4 mini) is anAndroidsmartphone developed by theKorean manufacturerSamsung Electronics. Announced on May 31, 2013 and released in July 2013, the S4 Mini is a mid-range model of its flagshipGalaxy S4 smartphone and a successor to theGalaxy S III Mini. It has a similar hardware design and software features to its high-end counterpart.[5][6]
The S4 Mini uses an almost identical variant of the Galaxy S4's polycarbonate hardware design. Internally, it features a dual-core 1.7 GHzSnapdragon 400 processor with 1.5 GB ofRAM, 8 GB of internal storage that can be expanded using aMicroSD card, and a 4.27 inchqHD (540 x 960 pixel)Super AMOLED screen.[7] The S4 Mini also includes a 1.9-megapixel (MP) front-facing camera, and an improved 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with1080p video recording at 30 frames per second, compared to the 720p of theGalaxy S3 Mini.
Similarly to the S4, the S4 Mini comes withAndroid 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and Samsung'sTouchWiz software, although certain features present on the S4 are not available (such as Air Gestures, Air View, Multi-window, Smart Pause, Smart Rotation, and Smart Scroll).[8]
The S4 Mini received theAndroid 4.4.2 "KitKat" update in June 2014 (though not in all regions), bringing some minor UI changes as seen on the Galaxy S4 and S4 Active.
When asked about whether the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini would receive theAndroid 5.0 ''Lollipop'' update on the April 24, 2015,Three UK stated that it would not get the Lollipop update, blaming "memory limitations".[9] However,Three Ireland stated later on the very same day that the S4 Mini would indeed get the Lollipop update and that it would start rolling out in the coming weeks.[10] Though Samsung UK and US carrierSprint had earlier stated that the S4 Mini would get the Lollipop update, several later retweets from Samsung itself suggest that this was misinformation, stating that it had failed the initial test for the update.[11][12] The Galaxy S4 Mini ultimately did not receive an official Lollipop update in any region.
The S4 Mini version released in most ofEurope,Latin America,South Africa and fewAsian countries containsNFC connectivity, which came standard on all versions of theGalaxy S4.The Galaxy S4 Mini is made available in:
On August 3, 2015, Samsung released an updated version of the S4 Mini called the S4 Mini Plus (also known as S4 Mini Value Edition). It features a new 1.2 GHz Quad core processor, an Adreno 306 GPU, and comes withAndroid 4.4.4 KitKat. The rest of the specs remain the same.[14][15] The Galaxy S4 Mini Plus is available in two variants:
It is the final phone that uses a model number in the "GT-XXXXX" format, and Samsung's last phone in the Galaxy S "mini" series, before replaced by theGalaxy A series.
The successor to the Galaxy S4 Mini is the Galaxy S5 Mini. It was announced on May 30, 2014, and was subsequently released in July 2014.[16]
