Conclusion
It would be cruel and unusual to compare this phone to the Galaxy S3, HTC One X or iPhone. The Galaxy Mini 2 is an inexpensive, good-looking device that will be a good buy for anyone who wants a smartphone that's easy-to-use and that lasts past lunchtime. The trade-off, however, is a mediocre screen and a camera that makes you wonder what decade it is.
The Canon PowerShot SX280 HS is a successful update of the SX260 HS, bringing Wi-Fi connectivity and the DIGIC 6 image processor for boosted responsiveness and improved picture quality. All in all, this is a very good superzoom compact. Still, competitors are already moving ahead, sometimes with better technology and a wider range of options.
