Samsung Galaxy mini 2 review: Little by little

Whenever a Galaxy S phone thinks "Boy, it feels good at the top", there's always someone down below to say "You're welcome". Samsung most certainly know who to thank. It was smartphones like the Galaxy Ace and the Galaxy mini that made...

Quad-Band GSM and dual-band 3G support ; 7.2 Mbps HSDPA ; 3.27" 256K-color HVGA TFT touchscreen ; ARMv6 800MHz processor, 512MB RAM ; Android OS v2.3 (Gingerbread) with TouchWiz v3.0 UI ; 4GB internal storage, hot-swappable MicroSD slot ; 3.15 MP...

Poor display quality ; Fixed-focus camera, no flash ; No secondary video-call camera ; Video recording maxes out at VGA @ 25fps ; Sub-par ARMv6 CPU limits performance and app selection

The original Samsung Mini, released almost exactly a year prior to the mini 2, had very few points in its favor and the level of equipment wasn't among them. But it was cheap and it had Android. This made it a good option for anyone looking to see what...

Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 GT-S6500

The Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 is one of the cheapest phones in Samsung's Galaxy range.

Samsung Galaxy Mini 2

Mini by name and indeed mini be nature.

, finding it a little too small and basic. The Samsung Galaxy Ace 2, though has a slightly larger, higher resolution screen, 200Mhz faster processor (800MHz vs 600MHz), and more internal storage. It's still not likely to be a powerhouse but it could be...

Budget handset, but that's not a bad thing

Sturdy build ; microSD port ; Removable battery ; Pretty nippy

No ICS ; Hard to grip ; Poor camera

The Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 showed up at MWC 2012 in February and slides in at the lower end of Samsung's range, but it's not the firm's bargain basement offering.
