The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (stylized as Samsung GALAXY S4 mini) is an Android smartphone developed by the Korean manufacturer Samsung Electronics. Announced on May 31, 2013 and released in July 2013, the S4 Mini is a mid-range model of its flagship Galaxy S4 smartphone and a successor to the Galaxy S III Mini. It has a similar hardware design and software features to its high-end counterpart. [5] [6]
The S4 Mini uses an almost identical variant of the Galaxy S4's polycarbonate hardware design. Internally, it features a dual-core 1.7 GHz Snapdragon 400 processor with 1.5 GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal storage that can be expanded using a MicroSD card, and a 4.27 inch qHD (540 x 960 pixel) Super AMOLED screen. [7] The S4 Mini also includes a 1.9-megapixel (MP) front-facing camera, and an improved 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with 1080p video recording at 30 frames per second, compared to the 720p of the Galaxy S3 Mini.
Similarly to the S4, the S4 Mini comes with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and Samsung's TouchWiz software, although certain features present on the S4 are not available (such as Air Gestures, Air View, Multi-window, Smart Pause, Smart Rotation, and Smart Scroll). [8]
The S4 Mini received the Android 4.4.2 " KitKat" update in June 2014 (though not in all regions), bringing some minor UI changes as seen on the Galaxy S4 and S4 Active.

[9] However, Three Ireland stated later on the very same day that the S4 Mini would indeed get the Lollipop update and that it would start rolling out in the coming weeks. [10] Though Samsung UK and US carrier Sprint had earlier stated that the S4 Mini would get the Lollipop update, several later retweets from Samsung itself suggest that this was misinformation, stating that it had failed the initial test for the update. [11] [12] The Galaxy S4 Mini ultimately did not receive an official Lollipop update in any region.
