                  This was my first smartphone. I was truly impressed with it at the time. Screen was nice (oled) not 720p but for the size 4" it was ok. Camera was also really good, 720p but the sensor was high qualty and the flash was really bright (to bright somethimes for pictures it would blind the subject) the only downside was the build quality all plastic body and it cracked after several years so i had to replace the phone.

                        The phone was a pretty good phone for the time, and the one I have still holds up pretty well The only problem with the phone is the old version of Android (Android 4.1 is barely supported by any apps) and it having only 1GB of RAM (which was more than enough for the time, but today, this doesn't hold up all that well)

                                Found 1 in the trash and its only use is for youtube go, telegram and google notes since some stuff doesn't work well on a 4 inch screen. Better than the ace 3 which I used at 15 though as well as the galaxy ace before it.

                                        Since the S3 mini was a pretty popular phone, there are custom roms for it based on newer versions of android but flashing one is complicated and risky for a beginner.

                                        These can still be used as regular phones for talking, texting and photos and they excell at that, but it's just a bit sad that you can't really do that much on them anymore.
