Great Smartphone
Very pleased with the handset. Samsung is at the top of their game, I'm using it on ATTs GSM network thru a reseller called 'Consumer Cellular' in the US. The fact that it's an international version doesn't impact any features I'm aware of here. The slightly smaller footprint makes handling it better than all the super-sized units marketed in the US. I haven't dropped it once. The english(US) language pack works perfect. On initial power-up, the setup process let's you select the correct language. Very painless. I did have to manually configure mobile data over the phone with Consumer Cellular. It didn't do this automatically when I installed my SIM card, but I used wifi for weeks before taking the time to configure mobile data, (a 15 minute phone call) I setup software updates to happen over wifi only so it wasn't that important initially. 8GB of internal storage is lacking but it takes an additional 32GB micro SD which I'm using. Overall, great piece of hardware. Priced and sized perfectly. Android is amazingly intuitive, those google guys are also at the top of their game with much more to come, BRAVO!

This is a joke right? If it was worth repairing then this person would have done that before even attempting to sell a phone for $250, right?

First purchase on Amazon (Venezuela)
Being the first time to buy abroad, online and TDC had many questions and concerns, but turned out to be good and rewarding experience. I could buy a good cell phone, here are expensive. SHOPEBEST announcement proves true, it is released (unlocked) internationally (because here in Venezuela I can use it without any problem) is white and is 8Gb, excellent operating system, camera, applications and fast. Although I have to narrow, since I got it a few weeks ago, me happened because a couple of times off and if you press the power button does not light (I have to remove and replace the battery again) but otherwise no complaints and visually SAMSUNG GALAXY MINI GT-i9195 S4 turns out to be attractive. He sent by SHOPEBEST and Amazon was quick, I'm good without objection, without details and with all that specific in its box.

This phone has done everything I want in a cell. There are enough apps to allow me to carry on with persona as well as other business. It is easy to use and is a good size to fit in pockets.

Great phone - crappy battery
Got this phone for my wife and she loves it. Good features, easy to learn how to use, good sized screen but not so big that it feels like you're carrying a tablet in your pocket, and super light weight. Problem is the battery. She's had the phone about 2 months and I just had to order a new battery for her. The lifespan is bad. Even with no programs/apps running the phone will die in a few hours (or less if she's using it a lot). A new phone shouldn't die that quickly. Once she had it plugged into her computer and it died while charging. WTF? Plus, the phone gets super hot when it's charging. Could just be a fluke battery issue for this particular phone but it's a bummer to have to buy a new battery on a phone that is practically brand new.

looks like a great product, but not even moves APPS to SD despite its price...
The device arrived the same day than other products despite the extra $$$ for the two day shipping. It was late if we consider that was expected after two labor days. It was a waste to have two shipping days...
The device itself is great. I had the old vibrant S4G from t-mobile but just broke its screen. This G4Smini is just a little bit bigger but best replacement. I do not like the super sized S4. The model is the GT-I9195 from somewhere in europe (france?). It comes with a brochure from the mobile company Orange. After charged, I turned it on and asked me the preferred language, data for account logins and internet. Created some accounts as well and finally was up and running fine. The charger has a plug useful in some countries in europe and many other countries in latam etc. The seller included an adapter for the US connector. The box itself appeared unopened with its seal intact, but a more careful look showed that the seal was on top of a previously broken seal. Both seems to be official but who knows how hard can be to make a sticker with the words "samsung" on it... The device had plenty of plastics protecting all the sides and corners so it looks "enough" new to me.
The cons:
- horrible boot screen. No idea how to replace it without rooting the phone.
- many not needed applications you cannot uninstall unless rooting the device (as most smartphones).
- it uses microSIM cards... No idea why since it has plenty of space for the regular SIM cards. I had to buy a cutter to trim my old SIM.
- the device comes with android 4.2.2. I was expecting something more recent. At least 4.3, or an update. But no....
- its price feels way too high for a device with only 8GB of internal memory (already shared with OS and the several updates to its original apps).
I recommend the product but knowing in advance its details.
EDIT: Be aware that as with previous model, Samsung messed it up. Firmware 4.2.2 "allows" to move apps to SD to free internal memory space. But it is not true... all it does is to say it did it, but it only moves the apps to a sort of partition or folder "./emulate/0" on the same INTERNAL MEMORY!!!! Checked many forum and this issue is reported since S III, but is still not solved by Samsung.
Some stated that firmware 4.3 may solve it but my Kies still says 4.2.2 is the latest firmware.
This is a HUGE fault on this device. My previous S4G Vibrant, really moved the apps to the SD as most android devices. It is one of the plus over iPhones. But this one, more modern and very expensive device just fakes it. Do not get confused by Samsung Support FAQ stating this is only due to developpers of some apps not using SD compatibility, because no one app was in fact moved to the SD card. All went to the emulated area inside the internal memory despite stating the app was moved to SD. I even checked my SD card on linux to see all hidden forldes and NADA. No one app was moved there, not even a folder was created to do so. Google this issue and you will find many forums showing this problem.
I do not like when manufacturers LIE and sellers do nothing to inform their customers about what the product really is. This bug is known since long time and the seller should know the products they sell. When I press move to SD, and it says it did it, I expect to find it on the SD card. Too much to ask?
My internal memory is getting full by just having built-in apps auto-updated.
I am overseas now. Otherwise I would ask for a full refund.
No, I do not recommend this product until Samsung offers a firmware update that solves this issue.

so far so good
The phone came very fast (despite the fact that the rest of my order has yet to even ship) and was as advertised. The box was sealed and it sure looks new. The only initial drawback is that the manual is in Hungarian. Also, it came with a European charger, but there was also an adapter and it all works so no complaints here. I was able to put an AT&T MicroSIM into the phone and it works great. Next big test will be to put a foreign SIM into it to see if it still works. The main reason for purchasing the phone is to be able to use it in both America and the UK/Ireland so that will be the true test. Overall, very happy with the purchase. Great size, great price, and I'm not having any problems connecting to a network.

New, refurbished or repaired and used phone?
I bought this phone as a gift for my wife. The warehouse took a whole week to prepare the shipping. I found that very strange. Then they sent the item. The shipping package was Ok, but the box had a bump in a corner. I was worried about the phone but it looked fine. When I was ready to turn it on I noticed the plastic screen covering the camera had scratches, due to daily use. I realized the phone WAS NOT NEW, maybe a refurbished one or, in fact, a repaired used one.
Then, after one day or two my wife said that the screen did not turn on during a call when she tried to see the display. That was weird, I thought maybe a setting could fix this. But I got surprised when I discovered that the proximity sensor WAS NOT WORKING!. So I installed an app that checks all the sensors the phone has and confirmed my fears.
I decided to go further in the investigation, so I tested the light sensor. It was working, so the problem was the infrared transmitter. I took my personal phone, put it in camera mode and try to see if the infrared transmitter was working or not. It was transmitting but without enough power. My intuition said: "what happens if the proximity sensor is loose?" Looking at it from the front of the phone I notice the headphone did looked as loose. I though "Maybe I can try applying a little force on it, without taking apart the phone..."
Voilá! The proximity sensor started to work! Sometimes it fails again but I know how to make it work for a little more. How about returning the item? Yes I did think on that, but it will cost me US$16 as I live in another country.
Finally I can tell if you, seller FreeTaxStreEONethwe21, try to sell more of these phones, be accurate please and DO NOT SELL "NEW" THINGS IF THEY ARE NOT. We the people who buy things, trust that you will sell things exactly as you say in the description, so do not betray our trust.
One last thing: the phone came unlocked and works great with ORANGE DOMINICANA, in the Dominican Republic, or DR.

@ 1st I couldn't open the play store nor download Samsung app store but it's now ok
Initial review: Just got the phone and the play store wouldn't open, can't download samsung app store and I'm wondering if I got a broken phone. How can this problem be solved? It's not a smart phone if you can't upload basic apps!
Updated review: I went and Google the problem for help and I found a solution that worked and I can now use my "play app store" but still waiting for my "samsung apps" to download (coming slowww). With that said, I've decided to change my ratings to 4stars b'cos I shouldn't have to go through that stress in the first place.
Nevertheless, it's a really good phone. I love it!

Perfect but just not for me....
I could not get the APN settings correct for the Straight Talk BYOP program. I activated the At&t sim card in the package. Phone calls and internet worked within minutes BUT I could not receive picture messages. After hours on the phone with Straight Talk and on their facebook chat line, they referred me to the manufacturer. Samsung then informed me that since it is a UK version, some features will not work in the USA. (I'm in Missouri)
I have read a bunch of forum on Android websites, I have tried dozens of different apn settings and other suggestions. I just am unable to receive picture messages. I can send pictures great, my internet is fast (pings over 8mbs per second), the size is perfect for fitting in your pocket. Everything else is great but just can't receive mms. So after 4 days of frustration and phone calls and dozens of apn settings later, I have called Amazon and requested a return. I'm giving up

Small and slim preferred
Great phone. I moved up from a galaxy s2, and I'm glad I did. I prefer the smaller size of this phone versus the newer, larger mobile computers that everyone is carrying. The size makes it easier to use with one hand. Fits into my pocket easier, also.
I purchased this phone unlocked and noticed all the literature inside the box was in Spanish. Once I turned the phone on, I setup it up for English as I'm in the USA. The Samsung service automatically transferred my settings and files from my old phone to my new one. Also, I just went to T-mobile and got a micro-SIM and it works flawlessly. I think I'm getting another one for my wife.

Not so good for the price
The phone works well but also has a terrible battery, the other day started dropping 1% each second after I watched a video. Sometimes some apps dont work, it takes like 5 second to get into the pictures you have already taken. The signal is normal but I think other phones are better. Its annoying for whatsapp because when you hold the phone it records a voice message and sends it without previous notice. when you have it blocked the phone with a password you cant have a quick access to the camera or other things like you do in the iphone. It takes good pictures, but it takes a couple seconds sometimes to just open the camera. Now is having trouble to play the videos in some web pages because it just slowed down the audio.

Possibly bad batteries with these
This was purchased as a gift and shipped off so I had no chance to actually test it. Was told by receiver that the battery does not hold a charge so i suspect even though the item did look new it was a used battery possibly or a knock off. For that reason I'm rating it 4 stars. However the phone itself looks very nice and it did fire up as expected.

Best phone ever
This is the best phone ever: easy to use, fast, and it looks good. I had no problems with it. Everything described came with a sealed box and once I turned it on, after connecting to wifi, I could navigate on the Internet. I also didn't have any problems with the simcard. It's unlocked. The pnly reason I bought this one was the size because I think Samsung phones are too big. Even though this is a "mini," still it is quite big. Well, according to Samsung standars, it is pretty small but in comparison to other smartphones, it is still big. No complaints, though. I'm totally lovin' it!

Love my new phone!
I recently bought this phone to replace a Samsung Impression. I knew I wanted a smartphone but this one has exceeded my expectations. I especially love the more compact size. I really wanted the Galaxy S4 due to the specs, but the size was way tooo big. I was very happy to find this phone. Note: the phone sent to me was the Italian version. The manual and adapter were Italian. I just bought an additional charger. For the reduced price that I paid, no biggie. The phone will still charge if plugged into your computer.

Im using this IN the USA on an ATT MVNO called H2O wireless which I highly recommend. Pulled the phone out
Worked perfectly out of the box. The correct phone was received unlike other reviewers here. Im using this IN the USA on an ATT MVNO called H2O wireless which I highly recommend. Pulled the phone out, plugged the sim card in, turned it on... it auto downloaded my MMS and internet settings and everything was good to go. Wifi works fine as also stated by some other reviewers. Internet works fine once APN settings were downloaded. The only thing different about this vs the USA locked versions is there is no notification light feature for texts/charging/emails.

Good phone, good lucky with the battery
Very good phone, with great screen and functionalities, only problem is the battery. I've had it for 6 months today and since the first 2 months it lasts much less than any other phone and goes from 25% to 0% in a few minutes. Had no luck. I'm buying a new one today. Wish the seller would give me one.
