Galaxy S4 mini
- Thread starter aami.aami
- Start date
Not officially released yet I think. There was one guy in here that has the AT&T version, but it's not listed on their website so I don't know how he got hold of it.
Samsung doesn't want our money. I waited a looong time for this one. They lost me to the nexus 4 price cut.
Seriously though, the US market is more dominated by subsidies than a lot of markets, and I think the s4 mini is aimed at less subsidized markets. We'll get it, and quicker than we got the s3 mini (which just hit some us carriers this year), in part because the US market is changing with nearly 100 million prepaid users of which 1/3 are MVNO users, but we're not a big priority for this one.
i9195X
Not sure where to post this so will try here
Does anyone know what S4 Mini i9195X is? Saw this today for first time (althohg I have seen other variations before) in the UK. This is the exact model number from 'Settings > About'

I9195x is the demo version without radio hardware. Just to play with it. Everything else same as I9195

Yes there is a 16gb variant of the i9195 (international LTE), at least for Telecom New Zealand (I have one), but I also see reports in India, UK and elsewhere. I don't know how common it is since there's little mention in GSM Arena or a number of other places but then again perhaps it came out after the launch and stuff tends to be biased in favour of what's announced at launch.
Its available
It is available in the US. Just look on Amazon. You can get one that is factory unlocked for around $350.
Just to add my opinion to a few posts regarding the S4 mini. I think this phone has its place. For someone like me who had difficulties finding a phone with the 4.3" form factor it isn't so easy with the trend going to larger phones. So finally I settled for the S4 mini and I love it. It's fast,
weighs only 108 grams, has a removable battery, an additional sd card slot, enough RAM and a modern and fast CPU.
On vacation my wife (iPhone 4s) and I compared cameras just for fun shooting the same pictures for comparison and we realized both cameras are nearly on par with each other. One have the edge over the other alternately in certain situations.
Meanwhile I flashed CWM and have a nightly build from the 24th October on the phone which runs very well [thanks to the dev, here] and I'm looking forward to further builds from this side.
The CM build doesn't drain the battery like the stock Samsung 4.2.2 version did. The camera is able to save the pics to the external sd card (important for me) which I formatted as ext4 (no problems for the CM 10.2 here with ext4) for better compatibility with my Linux desktop.

i love this small phone
when i bought it i thought the S3 was faster, but i think now its the opposite, this S4 mini is faster than the S3 in all benchmarks i checked
software wise im disappointed in samsung as usual, random lags and lack of prompt updates
hardware wise, its pretty nice for a a small phone
thank god for the modding community

?Nope. That's constant.hey guys :laugh:! I want to ask if after I rooted my phone and I want to unrooted it back, am I gonna lost my wifi mac address
So after a few days, I'm liking the s4 mini more and more.
Unlike my 3 previous HTC phones, this guy has CLEAN headphone sound.
Beats or not, on every rom or sense, the One S and Aria had awful overamped hissing sound. The Motorola droid mini I tested also had it.
Maybe it's a samsung thing, but I can finally use my headphones comfortably.
As I'm typing this, I just heard a cough behind an orchestra performance...
really? because I lost my wifi mac address on my sgy after flashing custom roms. I just bought this phone a few days ago and not rooted yet.

I have to register my mac address to my work wifi. I admit, I didn't quite compare, but its worked across Roms and stock roms on my old One S
Googling, it looks like the mac address won't change, but the way it's reported to the OS may change.

How can you flash custom rom if you're not rooted?
Maybe there is your problem.
that's why I'm asking first. I flashed many custom roms on my sgy, but when I revert back to stock rom, my wifi mac address is lost. I knew what is the purpose of rooting the phone before flashing any custom roms or kernels.
