Both devices are budget friendly and offer pretty decent specs, so if you’re not looking for anything fancy that will break your bank account and you don’t care about playing around with the latest gadgets that come to the market, these adorable minis might be exactly what you need. Let’s be honest, not everyone who owns an expensive last model smartphone actually uses all the technical specs, in fact people usually perform basic tasks that don’t require even half of the RAM or the processing. So a low-end phone like Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini or Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini will do everything a smartphone does just fine.
