Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 Review

without NFC (S6500D)     See other variants reviews Score: 53.4 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 is a decently made phone released back in the year 2012, coming with a good performance processing unit running at 800 megahertz, a 3 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a medium sized 3.3" multi touch screen.

Even though this cellphone is very slim it's not close to being one of the thinnest phones nowadays, with a thickness of 0.46 inches. Samsung didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 3.71 ounces phone.

This cellphone includes a good level 480 x 320 3.3-inches display, providing this cellphone with a regular image quality. Its display uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

Samsung equipped this device with a powerful processor running at 800 megahertz, included in a Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 MSM7227A system chip and 512 MB of RAM memory. To handle graphic intensive tasks, it also uses a 200 MHz Adreno 200 (enhanced) graphic processing unit. The Mini 2 has an average 4 GB internal storage, which is quite good having that this device also has an external memory slot .

This phone is only equipped with a 3 megapixels back-facing camera. The Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 can also shoot videos up to 640x480 (VGA) at 25 fps. The camera also counts with a few nice features: smile detection shooting, fast burst mode and geo tagging.

This phone has a medium sized 1300 mAh Li-Ion removable battery providing this cellphone with a quite short battery life. Samsung informs a talk time of 12 hs and a stand by time of 600 hours for this device.

This phone has wi-fi connection (which can be provided to other devices acting as a modem or router) and fast 3G connectivity, using HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Mini 2 works with a SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

This phone also comes with some nice characteristics like Bluetooth (3.0) and GPS Navigation, and a few sensors likeProximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The Mini 2 is really overvalued considering it is sold for 250 dollars, and many similar phones are sold for much less than that.
