We’ve already finished our in-depth review of the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini and it’s live on our homepage. And since we got to spend enough time with the Galaxy S4 mini, we also made it jump through the hoops of our traditional battery test routine.
The Galaxy S4 mini is powered by a 1900 mAh battery that should provide enough juice for the dual-core Snapdragon 400 chipset and the Super AMOLED qHD screen.
The Galaxy S4 mini showed excellent endurance for 3G calls. The smartphone lasted 13 hours and 10 minutes, which is quite impressive considering the relatively modest battery – all the flagships around it have more than 2,000 mAh juice packs. And since screen is off in this test and the chipset has nothing to do, we’d attribute the great performance to the very efficient modem that Qualcomm has designed.

The web browsing result was impressive, the Galaxy S4 mini occupied the third spot in our chart just eleven minutes short of our all-time champ – the HTC One. The lower qHD resolution and the relatively modest size of the Super AMOLED (which isn’t terribly efficient with the predominantly white web-pages) helped the S4 mini to the great score here.

Now video playback is where Super AMOLED really gets to shine and the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini lasted over 13 hours playing videos before its battery drained down to 10%. That’s the best results we’ve seen for quite a while here.

Unfortunately the higher than average battery drain in stand-by mode prevented the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini from getting an impressive overall endurance rating. Even so it did more than well and if Samsung improves the stand-by time with future firmware updates, it might be one of the longest-lasting smartphones on the market.
