Galaxy Mini - A Good Option

shaz77_2

Hi All,

I'm looking for a new phone at the moment, one via which has a Sat Nav, can access the Internet reasonably quicky and take photos of a good quality.

I'm aware that the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini is a scaled back version of it's parent phone the S3 original, however is this a good choice of phone.

Finally from reading another post there seems to be the option with talk mobile to have 500 free texts and minutes per month along with 500 mb of Internet access, is this a good deal?

Thanks in advance.

Most smartphones fit these requirements, while the Internet speed depends mainly on the strength of the network signal, not on the phone.

Reportedly, it's scaled back far too much and overpriced (in terms of value for money) just for 'S3' in the name.

Is this a sim-only deal or with S3 Mini? What about the price? Is Vodafone 3g signal good enough in your area(s)? Do you really need 500 minutes?

I also agree that without a carrier contract, the S3 Mini can be a little overpriced. I noticed this across a few carriers in Europe, so it's a general issue.

I would suggest you to compare it with something from the HTC One range or Sony Xperia S/U/etc, and only then decide if you should buy it or not.

It's got nothing to do with the Galaxy S3 and is nowhere near as good, and doesn't deserve the name. You'd be better finding an S2 somewhere.
