There is a lot you can do to improve the battery life on your phone. The biggest drain is the display; always turn the Brightness down to the lowest level you can tolerate.
The rule I use is 'Use it or lose it'. Turn off Living Wallpaper. Not using 3G? Turn it off. I use an app called '2G-3G On/Off' by Curvefish that takes me to the Mobile Network setting in one click. The same goes for wifi, turn it off if you are not using it. Download a decent Task Killer to kill any apps running in the background. I use 'Advanced Task Killer for Froyo' which I have found works well on this phone.

                  2) the display quality is very different btw ori n fake.

                  3) check for samsung S voice at the phone, i dont think china version have the S voice..

                  4) switch off the phone and turn it on again, china phone always come with android logo
                  for the first time start then follow by samsung logo, original samsung dont
                  show any andriod logo when u turn on the phone.

                              No, you are wrong. Sim card sizes are:
                              Full 85.60mm x 53.98mm
                              Mini 25.00mm x 15.00mm
                              Micro 15.00mm x 12.00 mm
                              Nano 12.3mm x 8.8mm

                              Therefore the Galaxy S3 Mini takes a Mini sim. Hope that clears it up.

                                Bought one and it got slipped out of my hand the first day and the 'gorilla glass' dyed on the spot. Replacement LCD is still not available with Samsung in Pakistan. Damn the extra slippery rounded corners, frikkin' design :(

                                      Specs show it takes a mini SIM. I believe this handset takes a normal sized sim.

                                        Yes, but not recommended. If anything, 4.1.2 is a downgrade! See earlier posts.
