S3 Mini Review

I don't get new hardware much, so I feel giving this phone a review is a good change from the usual game/software reviews.

There are 3 major reasons why I got this as opposed to a Moto G or other more up-to-date phone.

• Has a removable battery
• Has expandable storage
• Wasn't overly expensive

I use my phone as a social media device, email client, camera, music player and ebook reader: for the last two having expandable storage is essential. I transferred the 32GB microSD from my old ZTE Blade into my S3 and it's been fine.

I can also now do the magical and wonderful thing of playing games on my phone! I have Pixel Dungeon on there now (reviewed yesterday), sometime soon I will be putting on the Humble Bundle app so I can put on the Android games I have from bundles on this and try them out...finally. 

So that means more things to review in the end, which can only be good! 

On the general performance side of things, the dual-core means that 4.1 runs well and the UI is smooth. The only problems I get are usually with Baconreader (reddit app) but then it is loading a lot of data - text and images so I can forgive it.
