G+_HoneyBadger411e Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hi, thinking about getting the Samsung S3 mini, I know that the name is a sore point with some as the specs don't match the big S3, but if you ignore that fact, is it a good phone? I'm currently using an HTC Wildfire S running 2.3.5 and Sense 2.1, so I guess I'd notice quite a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Santos Cardona Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 How much is it and who is your provider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Shawn Co Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I'd say it's a noticeable upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Stephen Ipock Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 The closer we get to the S4 release, the cheaper the S3 will be. I would not settle for the mini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Nick Webster Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 It could probably be cheaper for you to go with the Nexus 4 which is much, much better than the S3 Mini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Andy Gait Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I'd love a Nexus 4, but I won't be buying a phone as on a tight (very tight) budget. The phone will be £15 pm on Virgin here in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Wojtek T Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Personally I wouldn't buy it. I will never again go with a non flagship device as manufacturers tend to abandon such devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I think the mobile companies control a phones destiny, not the manufacturers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Andy Gait Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 New S3 mini should be here tomorrow. So glad to be getting rid of this old HTC Wildfire S. Man, two years is a long time to have a phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Andy Gait Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Had this phone a day now and I love it. Going from a Wildfire S running gingerbread to this is like going from a skateboard to a car. It runs smooth as silk, very quick and although not a high-end phone, I think it's fantastic and so much better than what I had before. Also, I can now see the restriction that some of the apps had on them running on 2.3. This is a very different Android experience and I am a happy man. My only worry is that given the smooth feel to the back plate, this thing is going to get dropped. I may have to get a cover for it, and I don't like covers.
