Great small phone for people who want to carry their phone in their pocket!
Great small phone!I'm apparently the last man on earth who thinks a phone should fit in your pocket, and primarily serve as a phone. Yes, I love the smartphone features - email, video, websurfing, etc - but most of my life I'm easily within 10-20 feet of a real computer - with a real monitor and a real keyboard. And if I'm doing email it's way more efficient to do it on a real keyboard, web surfing is infinitely easier with a mouse and a 20" monitor, and video is best seen on something properly sized. The difference between a 4" screen and a 6" screen for all is miniscule - it's like saying I prefer to use a 3/4" garden hose to put the fire out instead of a 1/2" hose - when there's a real firehose hooked up to a real hydrant right next to you....Meanwhile, aside from the size being perfect, this phone works great with my T-Mobile service. It also has an SD card slot, wihich I love for moving large files and pictures off the internal memory but the recent Android updates that prevent most apps from storing their data there limit that usability.I understand the issues preventing you from moving apps to external storage, but why would anyone in their right mind not allow a camera app or a podcast app to store it's data on external SD? That's just stupid, but that's out of our control.Meanwhile, battery life is good - but not great. It's a small battery so I understand. I get a day out of it and that's about it.If you're the type that thinks the difference in screen resolution between X and Y pixels is a make or break issue (which obviously means you put far too much importance into watching entertainment on a screen that is far too small for that...) I'm sorry but I can't either gush about the fantastic resolution or gripe about the low resolution - whatever it is. Cat videos look fine, as do pictures.I've used six or seven different phones now including a couple varieties of I-devices, and so far I like this one the best.

used device -- accurate description, works as promised
There are many reviews about the S3-mini -- this is more about the seller "JP Mobile". The device was sold as used and it was described to have minor nicks on the case but glass is clear and scratch-free and it functions.After unpacking, I immediately noticed the two rough scratches on the edge, one next to the power button. As promised, the rest was in tip-top shape. Using the phone for a couple of weeks, the roughness now is gone and the scratch is merely a minor cosmetical issue.Accurate description & quick shipping[update]DRAWBACKS OF THE GALAXY S3 MINIMy biggest frustration is the camera & exposure. Or the lack of control. You cannot adjust exposure to shorten exposure to see the details in a bright portion of the image. At conferences, the S3 always overexposes the presenter's screens while preserving the ambient darkness of the room. Please give me the choice which area is important, maybe combine it with the focus area.

obviously she was most disappointed..
I bought this as a gift for my niece, I was a bit skeptical at first as I had purchased a similar product (from a another seller) and it was not what it was advertised as, namely it was advertised as being GSM Unlocked ... it turned out to be a headache as no carrier in my location could unlock it neither could it work ...I really wanted this particular phone for her as it fits her personally perfectly, obviously she was most disappointed ...I decided to take a chance on this product to ensure my neice was satisfied ... it is perfect!! It has a lot more innovative features than I expected, it arrived in perfect condition and it working flawlessly with both carriers in my location. It has all the features she would need and more, such as Wifi, Apps, etc.Additionally, all the accessories seems to be genuine and new (an additional bonus). The phone is also the perfect size for a child, very compact and lightweight but definitely not lightweight in performance, design etc.Product was packaged very nicely, not original packaging but very nice nonetheless ... Excellent buy for anyone!!Overall, I'm a very relieved customer and extremely satisfied ...

Excellent.. Arrived brand new and branded for At&t ...
Excellent .. Arrived brand new and branded for At&t which is what I wanted since I use go phone through At&t. Now I never wanted a "smart phone" I always said someone would have to pry my Motorola razr out of my cold dead hands before I gave it up.. well finally after all the years my pink baby died and I was basically forced into getting a smart phone. Reasons I never wanted one is I love just tossing my phone in my jeans pocket, I can sit on it and drop it a million times without worrying about cracked screens and they were nice and small which fit my small hands. I looked into smart phones for awhile and decided on the mini because of its size. This is pretty much the same size ( just less than an inch longer ) as my Motorola which is what I wanted. I did have to get a new sim card because this doesnt use the standard size sim card it uses the micro so I bought the kit so if anything happens to this phone in the future my sim will fit any phone AT&T MicroSim Starter Kit for GoPhone Devices (No Annual Contract) This phone works perfectly and I have had no issues with it at all except for my charging wire died, which I read is common with these wires which is probably why they sell them in 5 packs on amazon for like $15

It was by far a great phone. Came as fast as guaranteed
It was by far a great phone. Came as fast as guaranteed, and was in perfect condition...but the battery was TERRIBLE. It would charge and go dead while charging, even when i didnt use it. Other wise, great, but i did request a refund and Warehouse deals done absolutely amazing with that!
