Hey,
I spotted a 12$ 2100 mAh one with excellent reviews on amazon, i think that no one mentioned yet:
Onite® Model: B500AE / EB-B500BE (cant post links yet)

Its only 200mAh gain, but still a slim and cheap one...
I don't need a 3cm thin battery lasting 3 days, so yeah :)
also, I see a "24-month Onite® Warranty with Amazon 30 days Full Refund Guarantee." which is quite nice i assume
what do you think ? Anyone already bought it ?

I have bought 2 with wall charger. and write review that it was working as my 2 year batteries, than they sent me new 2 batteries with charger to change my review. so now I have 4 batteres with 2 charger and I'm using 1 battery 1 day and so on, after 1 year all batteries are inflated but still are working 3-4 hours screen on time. original batteries never inflated even after 3 years use.

You should stop using them right now they are damaged and a fire & safety hazard!

Yes probably all to same battery if brought from internet or little electrical shops. Though there is probably an approved distributer, maybe go to Samsung approved service centre

Is your country listed here, then you should be able to buy genuine battery

not at all... it is listed, but there is no any direction...
I will try, i saw a "samsung" shop the other day.. but now i wonder how much is a genuine battery for s4 mini duos...
Not sure if the price/perfomance really would worth the battery price

Yes they are a bit expensive. Have a look at the battery threads on the accessories forum, see what 3rd party batteries are recommended there. Some of the Chinese ones like Lemon seem to have a good rep. I recently got a an "MI" brand battery for the wife's Note, I was happy to pay a mid price as I could walk into the shop, to check it's a good one. They even offered to put it in for me so I could see it would still have a good charge and hadn't been sitting in a storeroom for ages, sure enough it had 80% charge.
For I9195

Though it was a sale price, A$25 normally about double!

Think it's 10 posts then you can add links. However it might be quite hard to tell from your pictures, there are some good videos on youtube (and some bad) on how to spot fakes, take a look at them
