Conclusion
The Motorola Defy Mini is a good little smartphone that's robust and has a decent battery life. It's a good choice for clumsier users, as well as outdoor types or anyone who works outdoors. It's also a sound choice for users who aren't bothered about having a power-packed smartphone with all the latest cutting-edge multimedia functions.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 delivers a first-rate user experience. With its top-notch hardware, this handset never flinches or falters. On top of that, Samsung has loaded the S3 with plenty of innovative new software features—most of which are pretty good—as well as an excellent camera and a powerful battery. The Galaxy S3 is clearly an iconic new Android phone, but for such an exciting handset, it's a shame to see such a conventional design.
