In this video I'll try to use this phone from 2012 and get the most out of it in 2023.

In 2016 and 2017 years I quite enjoyed using this phone. This phone was so incredible, the phone had awesome features. However before I took this phone my Sister used it only 3 years she even praised and love this phone..

Loved my s3 mini ❤️, it still works now! I like the size of it, i wonder why Samsung don't make mini versions of the latest phones? I would definitely get one!

For the same reason apple doesn't make small phones anymore. They just don't sell as well as big phones.

Great video! I see that I'm not the only one who still uses my Galaxy S3 Mini 😁 In my case I use Omni ROM 5.1.1 without google services (because they use 300MB of RAM) and I can run games too! Candy crush soda Clash Royale (becomes more and more slow but still playable in 2024) Hill Climb Racing 2 (with random crashes because of RAM overload) Asphalt Nitro Rider (too slow) and a 2018 version of Discord still work in 2024 on this phone :D

but then the lag would be the almost the same and the phone would be unusable with that android version you cant do anything except using the camera and browsing and some old android 4 apps which 90% of it is gone!

That phone has different internals, so the Roms for the old model are not compatible. You should look up Roms for that model, maybe you can find something.

@Kevin4u2c 5 ай бұрын

No, that was Samsung's lame excuse. Because they would even go on to launch phones with worse specs than the Galaxy S3 mini with that version, to give you an example, the Galaxy ace 4 came out with Android 4.4 and only had 512mb of ram.

@Galaxy.Windows 5 ай бұрын

but the Standard Galaxy S3 and the Galaxy Note1 have 1gb of ram. if Samsung said the kitkat recuires a minimum of 2gb of RAM but then they ship a phone with that version that doesnt meet the minimum system recuirement, why just not update the standard Galaxy S3 to it. i have an S5 port on my S3 and works without problems. the rom is based on the S3 4G firmware but has the S5 UI on top of it. i think they shoud have shiped that Galaxy Ace with Android 4.3 jellybean for an optimal user experience
