My 15 year old nephew wants a mobile phone and I was thinking of suggesting this one, the mini. His basic use apart from phone calls will be playing games. Is the mini worth it? Can it play games well. He has a net connection at home and can download using WiFi so that is not an issue. Is the processor and GPU good enough? Can the memory store many games?
Apart from this there don't seem many choices in this price range for Android phones and I feel Android is the best choice.
If anyone has other phone suggestions, please let me know.
if u r intrested in high graphics games..den it lags..high graphics games lags in this device..

Don't know much about which games are high graphics. Can he play simple games like Angry Birds? Which games would lag?
Any other phone suggestion in similar price range?

yea angry birds wouldn't lag..but high graphics games like NFS Shift, Ashphalt would lag..
LG Optimus One, HTC Wildfire S, ZTE Blade - these phones are little bit better than Samsung galaxy mini.

I'm bored so much everyday something has broken.
With stock rom I can't play dungeon defenders with my PowerSGX 540
And with sucked balls iphone is smooth on this game.
With CM7 browser is laggy and stock kernel is so poor. Look fps in quadrant. F...k quadrant score but just look what a poor fps. After flashing glitch kernel dungeon defenders is so smooth but now it brings millions of bugs.
And now accelerometer doesn't work great it lags on CM7 or MIUI with all type of kernels. And these days are end of gingerbread. We still don't have a great gingerbread or froyo.
I have a great GPU chip great CPU chip I will put all of them into my somewhere. F...k samsung sorry for offtopic I bored so much.
Now CM9 will come with a big "0". Fix bugs fix bugs fix bugs ... And CM10 + a big 0 fix bugs fix bugs.
When can I use this sh*t?
My next phone will be a Windows Phone 7.5 or something. SGS FOR SALE.
LOL. 10 Chars.
Stupid thread, no one wants to know that u r buying a wp7. And if u wanted to sell your sgs then eBay is a better place then xda.
There is no cure for stupidity..
Before I commited myself to a 2 year contract, i researched which phone to buy for a full month. Consequently, i never moan, ***** or whinge like a little girl.
What did you do? Pull your phone out of a hat?

This guy has a point. I play with a phone, not games though. That's why Android is perfect phone for me
I am really wondering what games he is gonna play on Windows Phone !?
To those joking with OP...can you guys name one gingerbread firmware released by Samsung that is not laggy..buggy etc etc.
Well I'm using the following combination and it works like a charm!
ODEXED Stock JVR + CF-Root + Thunderbolt 1.9 60MB LMK + Arc Launcher 2.0.
I've got pretty high FPS in games and Quadrant scores are like 2400 - 2500.
Maybe you should try it? I'm playing 9mm wich is a 1.6GB game and works pretty good!
I don't play games that often in mobile,might try the above mentioned combo. I need a firmware that works,trusty alarm clock,etc.Samsung does not give a damn about the bugs on recent firmwares that's the reason i feel with the thread starter.

Lets try dungeon defenders. You can't even just open game with this combination.

Just tried out Dungeon Defenders. Got real laggy the first time I played at wave 3 of the first level but I restarted and it ran perfect after that. Pretty fun game. Shame if I have to restart every time though as I usually only restart when I install new kernels and stuff or go for weeks of up time.
Big bottleneck with this phone is lack of RAM, and Dungeon Defenders wants a lot of it. It says 256 MB free required, well that's tough with 330-350 MB usable. I run Semaphore bigmem with 352 MB RAM (with stock JVT odexed) and I noticed after exiting the game that 205MB was free (in the 'manage applications' 'running' tab) and I'm guessing the game was using most of that. It's a very demanding app though, most run just fine. The only problems with RAM I've had previous to this is that if do lots of stuff Slacker in the background will get killed from time to time and that may have been due to LMK settings that I was using at the time.
SGS is a great phone but it would be even better if Samsung had given us 512MB usable RAM, then programs that need 250MB would run no sweat. Seems like 1GB of RAM is going to be required real soon for people that want to run the demanding games. My SGS has served me well but I'll be eyeing the new phones with 1GB in the new year. Shame because other than the RAM, and perhaps SD card speed but that is more of a want than a need, I could easily hold off until the following year.

Theres no need to bash someone like that. He's got a valid point in terms of games and the lags inspite of the superb hardware our phone has. After all this hardcore specs...gingerbread released by samsung is ****...yeah i know theres CM7...but come on...lets just talk about phone thats just out of the box...
i also just downgraded to froyo 2.2.1 jsd yesterday...its awesume for playing games......and i also applied supercharger script...i get lot of free ram.....
i had also tried jpk but jsd is awesume...
Well, every time I exit 9mm wich is a very demanding game, I get like 179 free ram. Also, the ARC launcher is very optimized to run on low ram (wich makes it lightweight) and doesn't redraw like TouchWiz 3 bull****.
I can't try Dungeon Defenders couse I'm out of internal SD storage all because I have a lot of games installed on my 8GB version xD.
Quadrant scores mean little to nothing in reality though.
Whole thread should change the topic to:
I'm very disappointed because I had no idea what I'm buying and what for I will use it.
well, for me riptide gp, dungeon defenders, shadowgun etc. run perfectly on jvt+doctorz rom v9+thunderbolt tweaks 1.9.1 50 lmk+loopy tweaks+semaphore kernel 1.8.2 at 1200mhz and they are like butter on 1300mhz. u can say my sgs has a bit of a better processor then most sgs out their. i get 4000 quad. easily with this combo. i am very satisfied with gingerbread and i believe windows phone 7 doesnt even these high graphic games so its just a waste of money to move on windows phone or even ios.
So I decided to write this post because I've haven't find any helpful posts about it. Sometimes I wanna take full advantage of this quad-core device
and enjoy HD games and when I say that I don't mean on sitting on it for 5hours and expect it to run all the games perfect n smooth but I wonder
why on my device (full stock) in games like gta vice city, gta III, real racing 3 even sometimes asphalt 7 I experience frame issues especially gta
vice city which I expected to run smooth when I lower graphics a bit i get so bad frame drops and the games like n. o. v. a 3 and modern combat
4 run perfectly smooth with decent Fps. So first I thought guess gta isn't maybe well optimized for xperia z but then when I searched over YouTube for some gameplay of same games they ran alot smoother on same stock version of xperia z. So what's the difference I've downloaded all the latest versions of these games restarted phone before running and disabled stamina battery mode but still the same thing. Always the same frame issuses and they are not just a little ones sometimes makes game so un enjoyable and leggy especially gta vice city. So I would appreciate any helpful opinion or advice or am I really starting to regret for getting this phone not just because few games Lagg only on my device
there are many other stuff but I won't write about them in this post ( I am running all the games from internal memory not using SD card yet) So
I wonder do I really need to root my phone and flash it with some light pure preformamce custom room to get decent preformamce of this games?
Thanks for reading and looking forward for some helpful answers thanks.
That highly depends on what apps you have installed into your phone.
Have you test with only the stock rom with default apps ?
Hmm
I consider about factory reset since to be honest most of my internal memory is filled with games I am testing and I have like only 10%free space
even less but I don't think it affects so much of preformamce of games 1gb of free space should be enough I guess as for other apps I don't really have alot of them downloaded most of them came with the phone itself. Since I am not really into all of the custom roms and all that expert I only thought about factory reset and getting decent class sd card but thought since ppl on YouTube used stock room and got smooth let's say decent
Gameplay guess I should too well. I'll wait for some more replies before factory also I am a bit worried bcs I read a post from one guy that there could some software
Problem with the phone on some1 else post that had the same problem with certain games so I am very thankful on fast thankful advices

It's affect the performance of course, also many process may occur if you have a ton of useless app on your phone, seriously 1gb free space? Ridiculous... I can't believe that you need all that space and you play all of your that games all the time.
Well the internal memory is 11,73gb with out sd card I've downloaded few hd games and few casual for testing and maybe putting video of gameplay on yt well yeah and one hd game takes 2gb like nova guess I am going for factory reset and I'll try to download gta only and see how it preforms

The lag in the games what I guess is caused by the underclocking of ur cpu due to the heating and stuff..in my xz,when I start the game everything runs smooth but after an hour or so,when the phone heats up..sometimes I feel a little lag,just a little..I play in a cooler place,the lags reduce a lot..well,every game I've ever played lagged at some point..

Yeah i know and I am fine with 1hour of gaming then make pause and let phone cool out its stasifying thought it's a quad-core device of course
It heats up but at me the game lagged even when phone wasn't hot when I started using it after night charging so I'll make factory reset when I catch some free time to day and start from fresh and will try to leave more free internal memory until I get sd card

Maybe bcs I havent download it from google store or smthk bcs i dont think its
Software since i can play nova3 and modern combat 4
laggs free or smooth any solution i would rally like to play
Gta vice city with decent fps
I dont think full HD devices are fully compatible with Vice City yet, if you look at the list of supported devices in playstore there aren't any FHD devices. Its upto the game developer to iron out issues with FHD devices.

I don't think the stock kernel supports undervolting and I guess we need some other custom kernel probably like Doomkernel..and for that I need to be bootloader unlocked..I don't wanna lose my warranty yet so soon.. maybe after 6 months or so

Ninja edit:
Oh, yes, unlocked bootloader needed.
Anyhow, unlocking the bootloader doesn't mean voiding your warranty forever. You can lock it again before sending the phone for repairs if it ever needs service.
I have an xperia play and I love it but poor performance I have a few questions that if You guys answer me I'll be very happy cause I want to trade this phone for an 2x . So :
-Do games have 50+ fps in ICS ? (cause I have about 20-25-30 with xperia play )
-Any OC ability(cpu/gpu) ? And does it improve performance by lots?
-Is 512mb ram a big bottleneck ? Or does tegra2 do good anyway?
-Some links to good roms ? It's interesting to see features before getting the phone.
-How much free ram on ICS ?
-And finally what's the biggest antutu benchmark you guys got ?

Lol I was using a 2x previously and now I have changed to xperia play to play emu games.
1. Yes for games with low requirements(e.g. Tample Run 2) For latest big games they only have 20~30 fps on ICS. I am not sure which game you are talking about
2. 512mb is rlly a bottleneck for ICS. Although I only have solely Firefox running, if I open 3 tabs, 2x will be laggy. However, it can handle multiple apps with low ram requirement. 2x has the strongest tegra2. T2 is good in gpu but weak in video format support at its times.
3. Just give u the Rom list link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2042267. I am from China and I had been using the roms from angeeks forum and thus I am not familiar with the XDA roms.
4.depend on roms. I was using this thin ICS rom (http://bbs.angeeks.com/thread-2687721-1-1.html)modified by a Chinese. Free ram is ard 90MB after starting up
5. my highest is 7035 when locked @ 1Ghz

I'm not actually , but I'm pretty new in android , 5 months ago I had nokia n95 ) , then alcatel v860->i9000->xperia play now . I want to get something that will be very good in gaming (i like games very much heh) . But I don't have a large budget for phone I may be 150-200 euros for xperia play if i get someone to buy it , and may be put in some 50 euros at best . so 200-250 euros is my budget. I buy only second-hand phones cause it's better than buying new with this kind of money. You have any recomendations ? Also are there in that forum any good roms for xperia play ? It loads veeery slow for me (I'm in bucharest) and poor translations .

If you are not a core android fans and not keen in getting a gaming phone, I would recommand touch 5+another phone. Touch 5 has great spec and ios has great compatibility for apps.(Even the "oblique" touch4 can run most games and apps today though a lot are laggy due to only 256 mbram...) It can outweigh all android phones in almost all games in similar price range.
Maybe you can also consider Nvidia Shield(299 US Dollars) in near future, it might be a fantastic gaming gadget.
For xperia play, I am using AuroraPlay(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124442&nocache=1)

Dedicated gaming and that's it? I can tell you that any game I have played it's smooth fps, but if I were getting a tablet for gaming I'd probabally go with the nvidia shield tablet. But if you plan to watch movies and stuff there is no denying the screen on this baby is the best bar none.

Then buy a nvidia shield tablet or nexus 9. Galaxy tab s is not a good choice for gaming.

Yes, you will be OK with K1. It will support all those games.
You may also consider buying an iPad. It may be a better choice for gaming if you like ios.

I have the Nexus 9, the Shield Tablet and the Tab S 8.4. If you want a tablet for gaming the Shield is far and away your best choice. Make sure you get a good size micro SD card with it to move your games on to.

This is my opinion, but if my main use were gaming I would not get this tab. For one, I think the processor is a bit underpowered. Not a lot of head room for lag free gaming. Also, playing any kind of graphics intensive game just eats up battery like crazy. Like I play NFS for five minutes and it drops 10%. And it gets kind of warm too. Luckily I'm a very casual gamer and get bored quickly.
I would get the shield or wait for the 2015 version of the tab S.
I have the tab s 10.5, I never ever have issues gaming. I play all the games you listed and it works great. The screen is beautiful, have no battery issues what so ever and it never gets too hot even with max brightness... Not sure why everyone else is getting bad results gaming.
I play a lot of online fps and racing games with the moga controller and Jay bud Bluetooth headphones because I travel a lot for work. Highly recommended this tablet.
I love my tabs 8.4
i play wit psp emulator,,
still no lags and best display for movie,,
