VERIZON WIRELESS

The best thing about this phone when I selected it for purchase, was the fact that it was small. It had all the same features of the Galaxy S 4 but it was smaller. I showed my coworker since she was up for an upgrade and she took my advice and got the same one. This was also my 4th Samsung phone and unfortunately, it has been 3 years having the phone and its dying on me. I'm due for an upgrade and I will be upgrading to the New Samsung Galaxy S 7 Edge. Can't wait!!! Samsung, keep doing what you do!

This phone has almost all of the features of its larger family members, and fits perfectly in the palm of my hand. Its holds its own with speed and definition, but the only con is that the hard drive fills quickly from app storage, and the battery life isn't very long. Overall though, I would highly recommend for a functional, easy to use phone.

I like my Samsung S4 mini. This is my second one, as my first ended up having overheating problems, among other things, and had to be replaced. It was under warranty and was replaced at no cost to me. The mini works well for me, as I have small hands and it's a better fit. I could see having a bigger model if I used it for games and videos a lot, but I don't. Otherwise, the screen is very clear and it also takes good pictures. Easy to learn and get around the screens.

In Europe (at least Spain and France), voice works fine with another non-verizon sim card, but there is an annoying message like "This is not a verizon sim card". Another one, if you want to active data mobile like 4G/LTE it is necessary active roaming although you have a local sim card (and another annoying message advertising "roaming is activated". And, at the end, it is HSPA+, setup like global net. I have an T-mobile bought in USA, and is perfectly, here in Europe. NOT BUY A VERIZON DEVICE IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE IT, OUTSIDE USA. The tecnology of the net, is CDMA, only valid in USA. GSM is the net protocol in T-mobile, valid at the whole world.

I love this phone. I have had it for 2 years now and was thinking of replacing it and after looking at new phones I decided to keep it. I love it! I recommend this phone especially if you want a little smaller phone , but still has beautiful display.
