                                GAMING CONS:
                                • Adreno 305 GPU (Single Core based Architecture)
                                [Desired: Adreno 320 (Quad Core based Architecture)]
                                Eg. Xperia SP

                                [Desired: around 340ppi]
                                OTHER CONS:
                                • Boring design
                                Comment: Certainly way better than Galaxy s3 but but but way INFERIOR to Xperia SP. Best among Samsung but worst as compared to other brands like Sony, HTC, etc.
                                • Battery Life is poor
                                Comment: I found while web surfing on 3G in Chrome battery is consumed @ 25% per hour & while gaming it consumes @ 20% per hour. But what great to see that while listening music it consume ONLY about 2.5%-3% per hour. BUT GSMarena’s test tells a different story!!! I am disappointed. I don’t know about other handset’s battery life.
                                • Android JB 4.2.2 only rumoured to be upgradable to KitKat 4.4
                                Comment: Galaxy s3 upgradable to JB 4.3 & Xperia SP planned upgrade to KitKat 4.4
                                • No TV-out (via MHL A/V link)
                                Comment: Handy feature sometimes. Galaxy s3 & Xperia SP has this feature
                                • No NFC
                                [NOT a big deal in India]
                                • No USB OTG
                                [Again NOT a big deal in India]

                                PROS:
                                • Samsung Customisation of UI & every thing
                                Comment: Hey guys, next thought on you mind could be that its not a big deal & sony too has customised its UI. But believe me guys its not that simple. It is a big deal. Samsung customisation has made User experience really very friendly. Be it a notification panel or security or etc. It has unified User experience for good & friendly taste. Every minor to minor things useful in day-2-day life has been taken into account. Its hard to explain in words but for me I am loving it.
                                • Speaker Sound Quality & Loudness is AWESOME.
                                Comment: way better than Galaxy s3 & way way better than Xperia SP. Seems CONFUSEd!!! OK let me share my personal experience. I have long used to rely on GSMARENA’s sound quality tests. But I regret to reveal that I am highly disappointed now. Earlier I was using LG Optimus ONE P500. GSMARENA’s tests will make you believe that LG Optimus ONE P500 Speaker Sound LOUDNESS is better than even Galaxy s4 mini both in music & phone conversation. BUT BUT BUT this is NOT the practical scenario. I have compared both phones’s speaker sound thoroughly in many aspects via naked ear in many different situation & compositions & songs. I found that Galaxy s4 mini sound is way way louder than
                                Mu old LG Optimus ONE P500 whether it be phone conversation in speaker or hearing music on speaker. Also as per GSMARENA’s test Sound Quality of both phone does not have a day night difference but believe me they both have a day-night difference. Galaxy s4 mini sound QUALITY is way deeper & crispier than LG Optimus ONE P500. Even I have compared SPEAKER sound of Galaxy s4 mini & Galaxy s3 available for public display at ezone stores in India. I was shocked to see that s4 Mini sound is way superior to Galaxy s3. But the same cannot be concluded from GSMARENA tests. I am sorry GSMarena but his is true. It may be possible that the sound test GSMARENA has conducted since is of model I9190 NFC thus there is a difference on samsungs’s part on system & configuration used in I9190 NFC &I9192 Dual. I would like to request GSMARENA that, if possible, conduct a sound & BATTERY Test of I9192 Dual Model of s4 mini.
                                • Dual Sim
                                [Very important in INDIA]
                                • Only phone in range with sView Cover compatibility
                                Comment: really really useful.
                                • Super AMOLED Screen based on RGB Matrix 3sub pixels per pixel (Vibrant Screen & Battery Saver & great Viewing Experience BUT only abt 5-8 yrs Screen Life but replaceable]
                                Comment: better than Galaxy s3 PENTILE MATRIX only 2 subpixels per pixel & way better than Xperia SP’s useless & crap TFTs. Look guys as per me TFTs are worst choice for an expensive phone & what even worse is Xperia TFTs which have a poor viewing angles too. Sony boast of BRAVIA technology but as per me it only a less worthy gimmick by Sony. Rather Amoled screen gives better & more natural output that BRAVIA Mobile Engine.

                                • 8 MP Camera Quality is one of the best available in any 8MP class.
                                Comment: Way better than 8MP Xperia SP & Nexus 4. Even better than 13MP Xperia ZL. 5MP Camera is more than sufficient. Camera pixels does not decide camera Quality. It only decides the LEVEL of OPTICAL ZOOM you can do after capturing a pic. Even 4MP HTC ONE mini Camera QUALITY is better than any of 13MP Sony, Micromax & Karbonn & is par with 8MP Samsung Galaxy s3 & s4 mini & somewhat par with 13MP Galaxy s4.
                                • Screen Aspect Ratio is 16:9
                                Comment: Not a big deal BUT Neither Galaxy s3 NOR xperia SP has this advantage

                                CONTROVERSIAL:
                                Corning Gorilla Glass 2 Protection- Samsung OFFICIALS confirmed that none of their product possesses Corning Gorilla Glass Protection, neither they have this mentioned on their website.
                                Plz help me if anyone has a solution.
                                ADDITIONAL INFO:
                                Network issues have been resolved via recent FOTA update.

                                MY ADVICE:
                                Its all about personal preference but as per me never think of LG & SONY & others. If you want to invest in a smartphone only go for HTC or SAMSUNG. I love HTC but its to pricy & expensive. HTC One mini is a class in itself but when I heard the price I was shocked around Rs. 33500. Rs. 11500 more for a device which is inferior to Galaxy s4 mini in terms of CPU & RAM. Ofcourse Look is awesome, Sound is awesome but still its too pricy. I you can afford go for HTC otherwise stick to Samsung.
                                Only device which I can recommend in this price range as an alternative to Galaxy s4 mini is Galaxy s3. But I chose s4 mini as a matter of personal preference.
                                • Mega 6.3 (Rs.29000): Go for it if onlyif you wan a PHABLET.
                                • Galaxy s4 zoom (Rs. 29000): Not a phone & if you are a photographer go for Lumia 1020
                                • XPERIA ZR (RS.28000): Waste of Money
                                • Desire 600 Dual (Rs. 25000); Too expensive for a GPU, RAM, CPU, etc its offering
                                • Nexus 4 (Rs. 24000): Again a waste of money
                                • Galaxy s3 (Rs.24000): Stiff competitor of Galaxy s4 mini
                                • Xperia SP (Rs. 22000): Waste of Money
