  An old but legendary phone

  Just saying that more than 12 years after its launch, Android Custom ROMs based on versions like LineageOS are still maintained on the XDA forums, I think it says a lot about how famous this phone is. Despite its low memory and CPU capacity, it still allows you to run basic apps like Facebook Lite, IP Webcam (allows you to turn the phone into a webcam), Via Browser, sound recording, music, video and many other things. I can say that it is a phone that you can carry around places like the Bronx without fear of being assaulted. Also if your original battery is dead and you can't find another one, you can jumper the terminals with a recycled USB cable to a powerbank, and the phone will work.

  Pros

  • Still works, albeit slow, if flashed with a Custom ROM
  • Battery terminals can be jumpered to a powerbank

  Cons

  • Very old. It's hard to get a battery and it only runs a few apps

  • 8.2
  • Screen7.6
  • Performance8.0
  • Camera7.2
  • Connectivity10

  Good and affordable phone back in 2012-2013

  Back in 2012-2013 I bought this phone because of it's camera and because it was affordable and small. And it did not let me down.
  I actually wanted the S3, but a phone of that size simply does not fit in my pocket and I can't operate it with 1 hand. If I'd buy a phone larger than 13 centimetre long, I'd rather buy a tablet.
  Then came the S3 Mini, which was the perfect alternative: small, reasonably hardware, good camera, not too expensive. And I still use the phone today (April 2017)!
  It used to be a reasonably quick phone, but nowadays it is quite slow. But I've overstuffed the memory so that might have something to do with it.
  The only thing I have disliked about the phone, is that only 5.5 GB of storage is available for the user. I can't seem to install apps on the SD card, which is why the storage of the internal memory card has been full, permanently, for the last 2 years.
  Camera: good shots in good light conditions, but does not compare to newer phones of course.

  Pros

  • back in 2013: good camera in good light conditions
  • back in 2013: good price/quality ratio
  • not bulky, small size, operatable with small hands

  Cons

  • internal memory (app size nowadays is too large for it)
  • internal memory (half of it is filled by Samsung)

  • 9.7
  • Screen8.7
  • Performance6.7
  • Camera8.0
  • Connectivity8.3
  • Battery9.0
