Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini

The CNET verdict: "The Galaxy S3 Mini has a very similar design to the S3, but internally it uses a significantly slower processor. It still delivers a pretty slick user experience thanks to Android Jelly Bean, but the screen and camera aren't on a par with those of the S3."

Among 52,140 people polled in the U.K., the iPhone 5 took second place behind HTC's One X. Samsung's Galaxy Note 2 was No. 3 for user satisfaction, followed by its Galaxy S3 Mini and the full-size Galaxy S3.
