Was happy with this phone for about four months. Then they put out a software update and my battery life was absolutely terrible. It was like that for probably another 4 or 5 months until the next software update which helped a little bit, but i was still not happy with the phone. For the last month or so the phone struggles to connect to the network & the keyboard does all sorts of funky stuff. Hopefully this hard reset will fix some of the problems. My next upgrade cant come soon enough.
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Galaxy s4 mini

This phone has been great. It runs very well and the price was to good to pass up.
I purchased this phone because I did not want the larger phone. The first thing I did not like was that there were all kinds of apps downloaded that I did not want and I could not get rid of them or even force stop them because the app could not be found anywhere to turn it off. The second and worst thing was the reception. I was sitting next to 3 other Verizon users 2 of which has Samsung phones and I had no reception and they had full reception. Then when I got home I still had no reception where with my I Phone I had 3 bars. Battery charge would only last about 6 hours as it was constantly searching for service. I returned this phone to where I bought it after a week.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

At first I really liked this phone. However within 6 months the battery went from lasting 24 to 36 hours to lasting only 16 hours. I have had it for a year and a half now and the battery only lasts 12 to 16 hours.
Cons: Did not meet expectations, short battery life

Would not recommend!

Phone was the worst one yet, constant problems with locking up, shutting down on its own, etc. It was a complete waste of money and only ever caused frustration. Not very durable.
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Overall a good product but the battery life leaves something to be desired.
