Nols Heunis, 22 Jan 2016How do I transfer my data(contacts,photos,etc) to another phone?Use Bluetooth, if your older phone has it. I have a Blackberry Curve and transferred all my contacts to my current Galaxy S4 mini by Bluetooth.

After almost 2 years of usage the phone still works. The biggest complaint i have is the battery. It does usually get me trough a day, but when I come home from work it goes on charger. For example es I write this I'm on 14% with 12h30min on battery time with 2h48 min screen on time. But the worst thing is that you newer know how much battery you really have. It can go down from 40 to 5% within 5 min. And it's anoying. Ok,it just dropped down to 11% as i was writing this. Speed is ok for 2y old device. Camera not that good indoor. Keyboard a bit to narrow for my hands. I download alot of torrents on it. Have 32gb card in it. Battery just dropped down to 9% again!
The part that on the frame samsung usually chromes is bad. The paint is coming off.

I have had the I9192 (the duos version) for over a year. I'll share to you my experience with the phone regarding the main features that people look for when buying a smartphone at this budget, and then give my personal view.
Firstly, the display. Personally, having a 720p res phone before this one, it was a bit undesirable at first. However, the 256ppi won't really bother you unless you look for the pixels. Note that the max resolution is 480p on YouTube vids. It's not that bad for this screen size actually. Remember, this phone is designed to be very portable and light, and it is. It's not great, but the AMOLED qHD screen gets the job done. I would not recommend this phone for people with big hands however.
Secondly,the Camera. The S4 mini is actually a pretty good shooter. I was very, very surprised at the quality shots I could've made with this thing. You're gonna need to know how to focus the camera on close-up objects so that you get a very nice blur in the background. Follow me on Instagram @kes_tt for my shoots! The camera won't disappoint you, I can promise.
As for the performance, I haven't recall a moment where the phone lagged intensely with just using the ui or light tasks... EXCEPT (and a huge one) when updating apps. Especially the large ones. Oh my God, this phone lags a s-ton a lot when you have apps updating in the background. I believe it's a RAM problem, but I cannot recall having this problem with a 1gb RAM phone I had. Besides that, as for performance on basic to moderate 3D games, it plays very well. Note that some games are impossible to play on it because of the small screen size such as those games optimized for tablets or have fine text/ small buttons.
Now let's talk about the battery. This is the one segment I'm most concerned about. The 1900mah battery haven't bothered me too much when I was in school or occupied in work. It could last you a day on light-moderate usage and browsing. However If you plan to play demanding games, heavy social browsing and use the camera often throughout the day, you better get a power bank; it won't last 5 hours to be generously speaking. Also, I have noticed an alarming problem; often if the phone drops and shuts off, it loses a ton of charge. Sometimes my phone would freeze on a half battery, and when I restart, it shows that it has only 20% or less; and when the battery is below 15%, it dies within seconds. There may be many reasons to explain this, such as me using different chargers to charge my phone. This may be a very rare problem, if not uniquely to me.
As a phone ages, you should expect it to become slower. That's mostly a memory problem, so be sure you have at least 16gb of external memory if you like to have vids, music and take pics like myself, and plan on having this phone for 2+ years. Trust me, you don't want to live on the 8gb internal memory because the android system takes up about 2.5 Gb. Something that kinda annoys me is that the phone doesn't automatically save data unto the micro SD. Not a big deal cause you can do it manually, but being able to do it automatically on other devices is missed.
At last I would like to conclude my review. The phone itself is a pretty decent phone for those who don't need the high end fancy stuff and doesn't live on their phone. If you just want a decent mid range phone to help with your everyday needs, you can't go wrong with the Galaxy S4 mini. Are you an enthusiast with big hands who are used to the fancy specs to play heavy games and uses their phone every minute to text on social apps and play media? Don't even look at it. My review of this device is made without comparing it to others, therefore I cannot recommend any particular phones that may be a better buy. Seeing that this phone is a bit dated, I suggest that you do your research.

Root your phone and install App "Greenify".... Battery back up will increase tremendously..
