The button placement and the different ports do not change, as the power button located on the right side, the volume button on the left side, and the USB port is on the lower side.
Regarding ergonomics, the Galaxy Mini S4 is a little larger than the Galaxy S3 Mini, but the unit is still compact and stands comfortably in one hand.

Unlike the "mini" version of the flagship smartphone of some manufacturers, the S4 Galaxy Mini is "mini" as its size, because inside it has everything a big one. Indeed, the S4 Galaxy Mini is powered by a 400 Snapdragon dual-core processor from Qualcomm, which is clocked at 1.7 GHz and powered by a 1.5 GB RAM followed by a Adreno 305 graphics chip. 8GB is proposed as a internal storage with the possibility of using a micro SD card up to 64GB Also, it should be noted that the S4 Galaxy Mini may well connect to 4G LTE network .

This screen offers a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels which is not too bad compared to the size of the screen.
Digital Camera
The Samsung Galaxy Mini S4 features a main digital camera 8 MP which offers images of qualities in good conditions. However, we note that this sensor is not one of the best when it comes to taking pictures in a dimly lit environment, and Flash does not fared better. To the front of the unit is another 1.9 MP sensor for self-portraits or to place video calls.
On the application that manages this camera, it is slightly different from that proposed by the Galaxy S4, but the key features are still present as dual camera, panorama mode, rich color mode, night mode and more yet.

Audio

Unlike the Galaxy S4 Classic S4 Galaxy Mini has indeed the FM radio application. Otherwise we also find S Translate, the ChatON and many others.
Then the S4 Galaxy Mini is probably not one of the best smartphones to use if you want to play intensive games power. However, the graphics chip is doing quite well to provide an experience of more than correct games, without showing too much latency when running, for example Asphalt 8.
Finally, the S4 Galaxy Mini offers a decent browser, but no more. Most pages open without problems despite the fact that the device takes a little longer to open heavy pages. In any case, it is always interesting to go through Chrome or Mozilla Firefox for a better experience when you want to browse the internet.
