Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini

A very nice little phone. The service was 100% excellent as they sent a replacement charging cable ASAP. Thanks again guys.

Bought tis for my daughter to replace her hard worked S3 mini. This is a rather nice phone and much better than the S3 mini, but my daughter complained that the wi-fi kept dropping out? This is one common problem that a lot of S5s & S5 minis have with intermittent wireless internet connection. After browsing the internet I discovered that when using the Android 5 lollypop OS the phone will constantly disconnect from the wireless connection after a few minutes and then a manual reconnect is required to connect again repeatedly time after time. I tried several fixes, including a complete reset, switching off smart switch, wiping data cache among several other fixes. Eventually after 2 hours, when I had tried just about every fix and was about to throw in the towel and send the phone back I tried one last time to check the Wi-Fi connection was stable, and somehow, with some good luck managed to sort the problem out and now the S5 mini has a stable wi-fi connection. I was just about to return the phone as faulty. Don't ask me what the fix was, all I know is I got it. So beware with the S5 using Android 5 lollypop with intermittent Wi-Fi connections. My daughter loves this phone now and that's great. Phew.

I liked the small size and if it had worked I would have kept it. But when I ran into problems and checked with Samsung support I found device warranty expired in February 2018. So goodness knows how long it had been in stock before I bought it. None of the apps could be updated and the phone did not work as it could not detect the brand new sim I put in it. I bought a new dumb phone direct from Nokia and that detected the same sim with full signal strength. Kudos to Amazon for giving me a full refund.

.. not about the refurbishment, but about the Samsung model itself.. not as good as the S4 mini

This phone is perfect it came brand new as stated the only down part the manual is in french, just got it yesterday haven't uses it as i'm sending it away to another country once they start using it I will come back and give a better review

I was looking for a low cost mini-phone with basic features and this seemed ideal. But the phone has been sold with Android version 4.4 KitKat which has not been supported by Google for some time and is impossible to update. This creates multiple problems, both real and potential, devaluing the phone far below the purchase price. Perhaps I should have done more homework but I believe that the product description should disclose such a fundamental shortcoming.

I bought this phone, but it is in a sad state, I received it scratched and without accessories, not even the charger was delivered to me ... Very disappointed
