GSM / EDGE (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900) is also part of the deal, ensuring that North American users / travelers will get somewhat decent data speeds. You'll also get quad-band HSPA+ (850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100) with speeds up to 42 Mbps. It sports bands 3, 7 and 20 (800 / 1800 / 2600), which are primarily used in Europe and other countries around the world. The model we reviewed was the I9195, which is the LTE version (it also comes in dual-SIM and 3G-only variants). The Mini also features a scant 8GB of internal storage, which doesn't leave much room for your own personal enjoyment, especially after you take into account both the OS and Samsung's TouchWiz UI. NFC, Bluetooth, IR and WiFi are all included as well, though 802.11ac isn't an option here. Under the hood is a dual-core 1.7GHz Snapdragon 400, a clear downgrade from any of the original GS4's chipset options. Underneath the 1,900mAh battery, you'll find a micro-SIM slot and a microSD reader - the latter on top of the former - which is a change from the GS4's layout (the two slots were set apart from each other and could be accessed without yanking out the battery). It's also incredibly light, weighing in at just 3.77 ounces (107g). In humid climates, this actually comes in quite handy, as the slippery contours of the phone would make it much easier to pop right out of our sweaty hands - an issue we sometimes encountered with the GS4. At 124.6 x 61.3 x 8.9 mm, it's shorter, narrower and thicker than the GS4, but all of these measurements lead to more rounded edges and a stronger grip as a result. After reviewing so many big smartphones, we find it a little weird to switch back to a device that our fingers can actually wrap around. As you'd expect, the 4.3-inch Mini is much easier to handle than anything with a 5-inch screen or larger. In terms of hardware, that's ultimately where the commonalities cease. It also takes advantage of the same build techniques as the GS4, which means you're once again getting a polycarbonate construction and checkerboard pattern. The sides are essentially the same, with the micro-USB port on the bottom, volume rocker on the left, power button on the right and headphone jack / IR blaster up top. The front features a camera on the top-right corner, with a hardware home button on the bottom flanked by two capacitive keys (menu and back), while the back houses the 8-megapixel camera and LED flash in the same vertical arrangement as on the GS4. On the outside, the family resemblance is obvious. While the Mini - which comes in both black and white color options - possesses many of the same traits as its elder sibling, they're mostly related to external design and basic firmware. Since the Galaxy S4 Mini bears the same name as the flagship device released earlier this year, it should simply be a miniaturized version, right? Not so fast.
