[@jzTechReview]

Thanks I've finally made a decision I'm going to get the S4 mini!

[@HumanumErrareEst]

Great web browsing comparison. Surprising!

[@utubedano]

Anton's video quality has improved many folds! Good on ya!

[@PappagianisA]

Good to see you're doing more videos Anton. :D

[@Necranymfe]

Very nice review. Very helpful as I was trying to find a clear comparison betwee the two. Thumbs up!

[@tinahart1712]

An excellent review well done and thank you - I do keep wondering however if you are sitting in a sauna? and this made me smile : )))

[@clairishe]

Between the Galaxy S2,S3,S4,S5 and the Note series, which have the best antennas/range and band support?

[@3RAN7ON]

yes love the extended battery. As for the keyboard issue you have the top row of numbers enabled you can change it either way in the settings

[@CommViewer]

putting key specs in the middle of the screen is very useful....thanks and nice job on the review.

[@MariusIonescul]

Anton, one litlle personal question here! Where do you say are from?? Because I couldn't belive that I've seen Dacia in the snap pictures!

[@shezzybaybe]

im waitin for the s4 mini to get delivered and Im excited. this gave me alot of insight

[@busay236]

Bought the S4 mini yesterday. Couldn't be happier with it. :)

[@GabrielRotar]

Anton, you guys are going to make a One mini vs S4 mini when it comes out, right ? I'm really trying to decide with one I like best for my next phone :)

[@jayliazko]

You forgot to mention one of the main features of the S4 mini and reason why most people buy it - its "Duos" status. The GS4 mini is a Duos phone, or at least most of them sold online are, and that gives the ability to its owner to add 2 SIM cards in the phone, for example 1 T-Mobile and 1 AT&T SIM card (in the US) can be installed simultaneously in the phone and the owner can use both services in one phone.

[@waynep1178]

I have the mini...and while the outdoor photos come out great, the indoor pictures..even in avg lighting, not so much....any pointers?

[@aaronmm86]

Dillema!! What to choose!! ??? Weird the one has dualcore and other quadcore . About ram the difference is not that big. About performance , can you see the diffence much or not ?

[@LovroJung]

i love both of them but buying mini one because other one is too big

[@seangordon5593]

Same here

[@roncinephile]

Hey guys,, If you need to get your smart phones samsunggeeks .us will do it for free !. great new site!

[@TsakaneMaluleke]

What happened at the Sony event at Paris today? Has it happened yet?

[@kimtaeyeon3904]

so which do you prefer?

[@wilfreb]

excellent Tony, its a matter of performance and day to day use, its not about specs.

[@yusufalp]

s3 or s4 mini which one?

[@everbornism]

I'm planning on buying S4 Mini soon (I first wanted to get S3 but since they are same price here I thought why not S4 mini). My current phone is iPhone 4, which has 3.5" screen, so 4.3" is pretty big in my opinion. I don't think I'm missing out on anything if I buy S4 Mini instead of S3.

[@noorulhaque1]

good Presentation.But,One thing you have missed is the ambient light sensor which is missing in the galaxy s4 mini

[@GabrielRotar]

I just hope it will be easy to get either in Romania, at least there is always clove.co.uk. Cheers. Keep up the good work.

[@RodrigoCFD]

I'm not a fan of large screens, the S4 barely fit my pocket, so I bought an S4 Mini i9192 (two SIMs). After 2 weeks of use, all I can say is that I'm very pleased with it. It's a great little smartphone.

[@gunjiotaku4304]

What I'd like to see is a s4 mini vs my old I9000 (original Galaxy S) because they're about the same size. and I love my G1, but it's becoming out of date =P I hate that modern phones are becoming huge tablets that make phone calls... not phones with other features..

[@StahpShop]

dude how did you get this phone, it isnt even released yet

[@kmlwilliams]

at 4:12 it was stated that the mini is missing Air View and Air Gesture. This is false.

[@PropertyVlogsUK]

Great video!

[@bramie55]

what should i buy s4 mini or s3

[@MysteriousGeek]

Dont wait for bloopers. its all black in the end. Thanks!

[@futureboyzi]

how do you cope using your S4 in the meter of size and not forgeting it's meant to be a phone and not a tablet? coz i can't decide between S4 and S4 mini

[@samdamanz27]

have you had any problems with the galaxy s4 dropping wifi connections..there has been a lot of complains about the phone connection and disconnecting wifi networks and also the top part of the phone overheats. have you guys at pocketnow had those issues with ur galaxy s4?

[@sonnywolf383]

Good review, Well done

[@lulumari2783]

So uhm which is better tho? idk which one to buy HELP!

[@evakozlokova3571]

So which is better and faster ? I can not made a decision, help me please :)

[@axelglen6884]

s4 btw

[@uploadergenesis]

SOMEONE PLEASE tell me when this will be released in the US

[@pxmercelina]

What would you prefer? s4 mini or s4

[@midomasr6091]

S4

[@elchamber]

I don't know. The mini's internal storage only has either 5 gigs for the user for the 8 gig version and 8 gigs from the 16 gig version.

[@fangfour]

Thanks for the review. Yes, I know...I'm behind the curve. But, I feel better buying yesterday's tech today.

[@maxbp101]

Is it going to come out in US?

[@Simplymeerishe]

I should have seen this before getting a s4 mini, but it is still great. It's that I got the chance to get a s4 and I let it pass. Finding accessories for s4 mini is harder than for s4 here in Philippines. ..

[@ChelseaBondxD]

whats the difference between the numbers of the samsung galaxy s4 mini.. like this number here , GT-I9192.

[@dipagolam]

I have same question...they are many number of this model..like I 9190 & I 9195 too....

[@janosveress7368]

Golam Mortuza I don't know the 9190.The 9192 is the dual-SIM version,the 9195 is single SIM

[@photographerjonathan]

is the video on both phones full HD ?

[@DanielAdeyemo8455]

can you compare the S4 mini with the S3 and the S3 mini?

[@champrocks3190]

good review :D

[@LovelyBeautifulLife]

is the size of the mini the same as the size of the iphone 4s?

[@ChandeepaFernando]

Nice introduction!!

[@Piaist]

please, tell me quickly! IS GOOD TO BUY S4 NOW? I LOVE SAMSUNG! IS IT GOOD? PLEASE TELL ME! SOMEONE?!

[@luketriplow897]

Yes I just got one

[@petarreddevils2338]

Piaist King Buy! Is the best phone!

[@Piaist]

i bought it ! XD

[@GGamersUnited]

Piaist King you like to create fuss out of nothing don't you lol haha :P

[@DjFlavaCuts]

Do they sell the mini in the US ?

[@petermoel2]

The S4's specs are great for a phone. The only need for the S4's crazy processing power may be games, and I don't play games on my phone. The only improvement I wish for is battery life. I come from the iPhone, so I'm not missing the status LED.

[@duanmahni]

So Xperia z is the mini of the Xperia z ultra?

[@hodjaev_ruslan]

You are from Romania?

[@DaRealStiffhand]

OMG this was annoying. You rarely had the phones lined up so we could see the real size difference. the zoomed in camera angles pissed me off to a point i felt i need anger management. And you told us specs we didnt really need. Just tell (and show) us the difference!!! skip to 4:00 to avoid the filler.

[@TubeEsq]

Great comparison!

[@JoeFilmProjects]

so what features are missing in the mini that are in the S4?

[@aikinsgeorgeja]

Love this phone to the max. After all there many features in the Samsung galaxy s

[@2e0tqf]

Helped me decided on the s4 mini

[@Androdian]

I like Antoine's accent. Cool

[@AlejandroFlores-ry8lv]

does the s4 mini have the dual camera shot option?

[@maxbp101]

Thanks and Which number do you have 9190 or 9195?

[@DERITALIENERr]

whats better s4mini or S3

[@skameruk]

My mate has the s4 mini and he can not find multi window any where. .. does anyone know if this function is available on the s4 mini or if it had been left out ?

[@Houda06]

One thing to dislike about the mini is while typing on the tiny keyboard, u'll type 3 letters at the same time ...too bad no pen is provided with it :/

[@axelglen6884]

because its not galaxy note

[@Gmododo]

release date?

[@tutubo1980]

how about the battery ?

[@zwaardwalvisje]

Can someone help me: two years ago I bought the Galaxy W (1,4 GHz processor, 512MB RAM), at the time it was considered powerful but after a year already it started slowing down terribly and now I simply can't use it anymore, need to replace it. Would like to go for the S4 mini because of its size but do you guys think I might have the same problem over a year, or will the S4 mini better stand the test of time? Or should I buy the S4, if I want to keep it more than 2 years?

[@megastarlyex3618]

So which one should I get :/

[@Professor_Cat_]

s4 is better

[@JevticChelseaFC]

Samsung Galaxy S4 mini

[@nicolewells21]

Can u use hdmi on the mini????

[@mastersirus1985]

Cant wait for the GS4 Mini vs the HTC One mini

[@RodolfoRausseo]

Is the same history when realse the S3 and the s3 mini, the mini line is midrange divices...

[@PrinceKhan-vw9tn]

Arhhh the specs are holding me back! I so wanna move back to Samsung!

[@Numnutism]

So are the iphones lg phones (mostly) Majority of the new nokia phones

[@kevinv.5961]

Watching this in 2019 lmao

[@relkovic10]

Anton where do you live

[@999emin]

Is it out in US, 4G?

[@DanniPortillo]

I think that HTC One mini will be a better option than S4 mini but at the end who nows which of those will be the faster!

[@officialjevtic3817]

Galaxy s4 mini is the best phone ever

[@GabrielRotar]

Well I think it has the same processor as the HTC First and that was also a surprise, performance wise, and half resolution so it can dish it.

[@DanieltheV1]

Anton Where do you live I'm also a romanian

[@CrestFallenManx]

My S4 doesn't have an IR blaster(at least I don't think). I thought the mini had it but there was no mention of it in this video. Hmm

[@MsJapamax]

the galaxy s4 mini has multi task?

[@EncoreStream]

White or black S4 Mini?

[@ahsenization]

Here IN PAKISTAN.. GALAXY S4 Mini is $488 USD and GALAXY S4 is $463 USD o.O Strange!!!!

[@sgtoz]

New version of S4 mini has led notification light. I have one. Its a great phone.

[@Kvarcaz1337]

I have the S4 mini black edition and it's a great phone

[@tazmaniataibi]

Played round with one today.....it misses out on lots of features the s4 has.....but other than that's it's like a twin mini.....it was so cool....I felt like I shrunk my s4 to a mini in my hand lol

[@steve-o-reno]

Think I'm going to wait for the Moto X. The camera might not be that great, but everything else on it looks pretty promising. It's about the experience, not the specs ;)

[@hassanmroue8362]

I got a S4 Mini and I am very happy with it :D I just wished the battery was a bit better :L Lasts me like 6-7 Hours

[@brucec43]

Have an S4, great phone, but at 2.75 years old the input doesn't work with the cord to computer anymore and I can't find a fix. Going with a S4 mini for the handier size.

[@whozthatdude2320]

my mini has same problem at 1.5 years gotta protect it from dirt getting in

[@_framedlife]

The mini camera picture looks good.

iam impressed with the performance of the s4mini

[@BarelyEpics]

Wait they launched an s4 with an 800 chip? Where have I been? Someone explain please?

[@ElectroANK25]

I am watching this video in my s4 mini

[@kenjiobara]

Galaxy s4 mini or Galaxy s3?

[@97mateusv]

S4 IS A PHONE OR TABLET ?

[@andyholmes3048]

This is I9500 or I9505?

[@liaionescu2522]

I have S 4 mini (is good ) :)

[@maustafacool]

I get S 4 mini as a gift its very its nice mobile and more comfortable in hand compared with S3 and S4 despite they had better display but S4 mini display do good job
