        Gody, 10 Nov 2013no...don't buy this phone..lags a lot with small games like... moreDisagreed.

        I got this one for 21K and can boastfully say this is the best Droid I have handled so far.
        I have played games like :
        NFS MW
        EA Real Racing 3
        Fast and Furious 6
        Dead Trigger
        Dead trigger 2
        SHADOWGUN: DeadZone

        With absolutely zero lags. The overall experience was better than Xperia SP due to awesomely wide display viewing angles on the S4 mini.

        This one is by far the best compact midranger out there in the market. Decent battey that has juice left even after a days usage, great screen and sound, and above all, this is the most ergonomic device to handle. feels really great in hand.

        Here are my ratings considering a price tag of 22K INR after 1 month of usage :
        Performance :
        Speed : 8/10
        Memory usage : 8/10
        Graphics rendering : 8/10

        Battery :
        Web and other apps 2G/3G/Wifi: 8/10
        2G/3G voice : 10/10
        Gaming : 7/10
        Music playback : 9/10
        Video playback : 7/10
        Dual Sim standby : 8/10

        Design :
        Ergonomics : 10/10
        Compactness: 10/10
        Build quality : 9/10
        Freshness : 5/10 (S4's design language = S2ish S3)

        Still Camera :
        Focus speed : 10/10
        Landscapes and HDR : 10/10
        Daylight portraits : 10/10
        Close-ups : 10/10
        Night mode : 8/10
        Indoors : 7/0 (noisy images, still usable)
        Flash range : 9/10

        Video camera :
        Continuous AF : 10/10
        Overall quality : 8/10

        Display :
        Sharpness : 8/10 (qHD panel)
        Sunlight legibility : 9/10
        Viewing angles : 10/10
        Touch response : 10/10
        Color rendering : 9/10 (tad oversaturated, but adjustable)

        UI :
        I will not rate this, but for me Touchwiz is the best UI. But recently , I've become a big fan of SmartLauncher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ginlemon.flowerpro)
        I use it on top of touchwiz and trust me, its the best user experience .. A minimalistic SmartLauncher with highly functional Touchwiz underneath..

          nassar, 10 Nov 2013does I9192 support 3G in both SIMS ?Both SIM Slots support 3G. However, Only one sim can be 3G at a time, but you can always set which one is 3G and which one is 2G from device settings.

          Its NOT LIKE some of the the older devices in which only one sim slot could handle 3G.

                        for those who comlaining about gaming lags,you need turn off power saving mode then you will see the lags will gone(im always getting lags durring playing dead trigger or other games but after turn it off the games didnt lags for long time) but i recommends everyone to turn on power saving mode during standby cuz you will see massive battery drain

                            I have been having issues with network(dual sim) and battery. Both got solved!
                            Thanks to Samsung for solving the network issue by sending the update.
                            And as for the battery. Initially i was getting very pathetic battery life. Even in standby mode the battery would drain like 20 % per hour. By early morning it would be around 10-15%.
                            To solve this i disabled most of Samsung's junk Apps that came with this phone. Thank God there was disable option. I dont even use Facebook's app as it keeps running in background even if you force close it(i use FB in browser). I disabled most of the gimmicky features which uses motion and gestures. And I use a simple task killer to kill the apps that i dont use peridically. Have set screen brightness to 30% most of the time.
                            And now i charge my mobile only once in 3 days !
                            The only issue i have is that my HDTV does not detect the phone through USB. It says USB device not supported. If this is also solved then this is my best mobile till now. I dont see myself changing my mobile atleast for the next 3 years (however number of core processors and ultra HD screens come out)

                                Alex67, 10 Nov 2013I want to know how fast the gps takes signal without data? ... moreRe: GPS, without data.

                                Outdoors, under clear sky, without data,it took less than 30 seconds to set location.
                                In another trial, on a cloudy day, it took nearly 1 minute and 10 seconds to set location. Accuracy was 22 meters. With data on, accuracy raised to 6 meters.
