Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini Review

Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini

Read on for everything you need to know about the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini ahead of its release, and bookmark this page if you're keen, because before long we'll be replacing this preview with a full, in-depth review

Good News 1.Android 4.1 jelly Bean

                     2. Hopefully will be cheaper

OUTLOOK

when anyone looking for looking for a Samsung Galaxy S3 with a slightly smaller screen, keep looking -- the S3 Mini's hardware is far more modest than the mobile it borrows its name from. The upside of packing lower- specced components, however, is that the Mini is likely to be reasonably priced. And having a cutting-edge version of Android is a definite plus.

SOFTWARE

Most Important - The S3 Mini runs Android 4.1 jelly Bean, which is currently the latest version of Google's mobile operating system. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is currently still on  Android 4.0 ice Cream Sandwich in the UK, but by the time the S3 Mini goes on sale, it will likely have been updated.

Cutting-edge Android is very good news, even if Google's robot-powered platform rarely stands still for long. With Jelly Bean you'll get all the normal Android niceties like customisable home screens, a wealth of apps in the Google Play store and Google Now -- a spooky bit of software that summons up pertinent information based on your location and search history.so you'll get a bunch of Samsung-crafted apps such as Game, Video and Music hubs.

HARDWARE

 The S3 Mini is a 1GHz dual-core processor, another far cry from the 1.4GHz quad-core chip humming away beneath the S3's slick plastic bonnet.

It is similar to the Galaxy S Advance, which also has a 1GHz dual-core chip. We found the S Advance to be mostly lag-free, though prone to some judder when you're performing taxing tasks. Although I'd expect the S3 Mini to handle most ordinary duties without any sluggish behaviour, you may find it starts to groan when you fire up intensive apps.

Around the back of the S3 Mini is a 5-megapixel camera. Photographers will tell you that sensor size isn't everything, so we'll wait and see what kind of images and videos this snapper produces. It probably won't muster photos as high a standard as those created by the Galaxy S3's 8-megapixel camera though.

The S3 Mini comes in 8GB or 16GB storage options, but if that's not enough space, you can bump up the capacity using a microSD card

DESIGN

The S3 Mini looks -- as you'd expect -- like a slightly smaller Galaxy S3. The phone itself has a rounded oval shape, with one near-rectangular home button nestled just under the 4-inch display.

Unfortunately, while the Mini is smaller than the Galaxy S3, it's actually slightly thicker, measuring 9.85mm thick, compared with the S3's 8.6mm. That's hardly too chubby to handle and this phone will definitely fit inside your pocket with no trouble. But the extra depth could result in a mobile that feels a little less luxurious to hold. The good news is that the Mini is very light, tipping the scales at a mere 111.5g.

DISPLAY

  the Samsung Galaxy S3, which has a glorious 720p resolution.

There's nothing wrong with a 480x800-pixel screen -- I suspect web browsing, photos, videos and games will look perfectly decent on this display. Just don't expect the same mind-blowing clarity you get from more premium smart phones.

The display on the Mini is the same as that on this year's Samsung Galaxy S Advance

  You can get tatkal ticket either through railway counters or through IRCTC. Getting tatkal ticket from IRCTC is a tough task for trains with a lot of travelers. But considering the difficulty of standing in queue in railway ticket counter in the morning itself, online booking is easy

Tips to get Tatkal ticket

Start Early To Do Initial Steps

Remember to log in to IRCTC site 4 minutes before 10 o clock and make your system clock time and the time shown in IRCTC site the same this will hep you to track time and know exactly when 10 'o' clock is reached according to IRCTC timing. If you are logging in very early, try to keep your session active by clicking in differently links inside the site,otherwise by 10 o clock your session may expire. By some 9.59 am  rest by selecting some link other than Plan My Travel link. Because at exactly 10.00 am in your computer (same as IRCTC time as you have synchronized it) you need to click Plan my Travel link and have to fill in the details.

Collect The Required Data to Fill The Form

You should have all the data that you need to be filled during the booking process along with you before you are starting. First one is the source and destination station codes. (remember the station codes for source and destination. If you do not know, search and find in advance. You can use Google for this purpose.). Now according to new regulation of IRCTC, they are asking for ID card number of at least one person. So you should enter ID card type and ID card number. Keep this with you. You can use autofilling addons for browsers or remember form field history option of browsers to make this data entry fast.

Booking Process

First you have to find available trains, selecting source and destination of travel. After getting the list of trains, you have to select the train you want and click book button available. Then you will get a page to fill in the details of the person who is traveling. Now maximum number of people allowed to travel in one Tatkal ticket is 4 only. For filling in these details you can use Mogilla Autofill. It will let you fill details of all passengers in one click. Then you have to select a payment option and make the payment through net banking, cards etc. But it is found that net banking is more fast compared to other ways. Also try with different banks on which you have account and find out the fastest one for booking.

Try using Quick book option (Now quick book is disabled between 10am to 11am . But you can use it in any other time.)

There is an option under services Quick book. Select this option. In this you can book ticket quickly provided you know the number of the train in which you want to travel. Fill this form quickly and press quick book button. It will go straightly to banking site without asking for any further verification an confirmation. But now for booking emergency tatkal it is of no use as it is not available between 10 am and 11 am-the peak time of tatkal booking. But if you are booking tatkal after 10.00am it is useful..

Using Auto fill addon in mozilla firefox

Now you may have found that the only time taking section in this tatkal booking process is the filling of details in form. This can be done in one second using autofill addon in mozilla firefox. So you have to install this addon earlier. You can add this to firefox in the link https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/autofill-forms/. After installing this addon you have to fill the form and save it in the addon. Now during the booking time you have to simply right click in the page and select autofill of that page.

But right click is disabled in IRCTC site to enable that you have to run a javascript . Just type

javascript:void(document.oncontextmenu=null)

in the address bar after coming to details entry page and press enter. Only after that you can right click on the page and select autofill the details that you have stored earlier for booking.

After following all these steps, everything is at your luck. Also remember to synchronize your system clock with IRCTC site time, and start booking exactly after 10.00 am. Because in the first minute itself traffic will raise tremendously. So the ones who try in the first seconds after 10.00am have good chance. Indian railway is one of the largest railway networks in the world. So the number of users using online ticket booking feature is also very high. As the number of users is very high always remember that each second that you are wasting, may put you in waiting list.

New Tatkal Ticket Restrictions from IRCTC

. 1.Between 10 am and 11 am you can book only 2 tickets per IP address -- IRCTC came with this rule to avoid tatkal agents. But rarely in some cases, common people also will need to book more than two tickets in this time, especially if same net connection is shared by many people.

In order to overcome this you can try switching off the modem and turning it on again. Usually all internet service providers are using dynamic ip addresses only. If you restart modem, IP will be changed to a new one.

2. You cannot login from different browsers with same login ID. If you are logging in, it will be automatically logged out -- This is something that we cannot override. If you want to try from different browsers, you need to have more than one login IDs. If you do not have, borrow IDs of your friends.
