  • Today it's time to revisit the small version of the best selling Android, the iconic Samsung Gelaxy S4 mini, which is now 9 years old. However, its age won't stop me from making the most out of it.

      Sadly, it's plagued by a memory issue which will render all the S4 mini useless sooner or later. Mine is already dead :⁠-⁠(

    Hi, this is really nice review of all features this little phone can do. You covered almost all possible usage cases, even gaming is at satisfactory level as well. I might get one of these as well since it is so small and capable on the go. The only doubt is battery life during normal phone usage and while gaming, how long the good battery lasts? Thank you and keep up the good work!
