10x Optical Zoom and 16MP BSI CMOS Sensor
lets the user capture beautiful images from
far away or up close and personal, in all light conditions, without having to carry heavy
camera gear around. Furthermore, the built-in Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) helps keep the camera perfectly still even when you’re not, reducing blur and stabilizing the image,
resulting in high-quality photos and video.

quality photos even in low light.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini: Powerful enough for those who can't afford Galaxy S4

The Performance:

While it's tough to guess how well the Galaxy S4 Mini will perform all around the world, the specs do tell a promising story. First up, there
are up to six bands for global LTE support,
plus HSPA+ 42 speeds, and 3G and 2G fail-
safes.
LTE-ready builds of the Mini won't come to every market, but if you've got LTE phones
where you live, that's the version you should expect to see when and if the handset lands in a store near you. Otherwise, you'll get a 3G version of the phone, and, in some markets,even a dual-SIM device. The double-barrel
configuration has its benefits, but don't hold your breath for a dual-SIM Mini to hit every country .
Now what about raw computing power?
Unlike the superpowered quad-core or octa-core Galaxy S4, the GS4 Mini will pack a 1.7GHz dual-core processor under its hood. That's completely respectable,depending on the chipset's make and model, and I'll guess that most people won't miss the Galaxy S4's high-octane gaming speeds.
The phone's smaller screen size is one
explanation for the Mini's 1,900mAh battery,which should still keep the phone charged.
