Some others have made the transition, however, including S Translator, the company's integrated software that allows you to convert spoken phrases and text into 10 different languages, and S Health. Some of Samsung's own software add-ons to Android rely on the processor and other tech to work, so Smart Stay, Smart Scroll and the camera function Dual Shot are absent on the smaller phone. Operating systemīoth handsets come with the latest version of Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, but because of technological restrictions the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini does not have some of the more grandstand features of the SGS4 on board. Group Play, Samsung's technology that allows you to pair similarly endowed devices together for multiplayer gaming or music-playing abilities, is also supported, so there's little to choose between the devices in this area. One of the Mini models will also have NFC, like its larger sibling, and Wi-Fi Direct. That means the SGS4 doesn't have the upper ground when it comes to superfast data speeds. Perhaps surprisingly, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini will come in three variants, with the 4G LTE version tipped for a UK release - the others are 3G-only and 3G dual-SIM. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini utilises Qualcomm's Snapdragon 400 1.7GHz dual-core chip with 1.5GB of RAM, but that should be more than capable for daily operation. ProcessorĪlthough the Samsung Galaxy S4 has the 1.6GHz Exynos 5 octa-core processor in Korea and some other areas of the world, the UK and US versions come with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 600 1.9GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM instead, to allow them to be LTE 4G-enabled. The Galaxy S4 has a Full HD 1080p (1920 x 1080) screen resolution, while the S4 Mini's isn't even HD, at 960 x 540. One big difference between the two screens though is in resolution. Consider that the Samsung Galaxy S2 had a 4.3-inch screen too, normal at the time, and you'll most likely be happy with the tighter screen real estate. DisplayĪs it's smaller, the Mini has a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display, whereas the Galaxy S4's Super AMOLED screen is 5-inches. If weight is important to you, you'll definitely notice the difference. The SGS4 Mini is also considerably lighter, at 107g in comparison to 130g, mainly thanks to the less glass needed for the front plate. Its dimensions of 124.6 x 61.3 x 8.94mm in comparison to the Galaxy S4's 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9mm make it approximately 90 per cent smaller face-on, but to store the battery and other internal tech it's slightly fatter. Naturally, with "Mini" in the name the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini is smaller than the SGS4.
