Nexus 4 or S4 mini?

[outostioncen]

Friends my budget is around 25k there are two options set by myself(no need to think about any other one) I.e., Nexus 4 and S4 mini...and I'm so much confused which one I should go for????Please put some light favoring both phones or their merits so that I can chose one by myself......

Nexus 4 offers infinitely better Android experience.

I would personally recommend N4 as well. I cannot think of one good reason why anyone should go for S4 Mini over N4 now that the latter is on sale in India officially with proper warranty.
Here is a comparison between the two: https://goo.gl/c1PyBE
N4:
Better display
More RAM
Quad Core
Larger battery with higher rated backup time

S4 Mini:
Expandable Storage Support
Has Infrared
Better front camera
Dual Core
Radio
Of course, N4 already has the Android 4.3 update. S4 Mini would probably get it like 6 months from now :tongue:
So basically. If you need more than 16GB storage (more like 12-13GB storage), you would have to ignore N4. If you need radio, you would again have to skip N4. Other than that N4 is just the better device. And if you are ordering online, ping me for an affiliate link :tongue:

S4 Mini:
Has Infrared

N4 is nowhere close to being the better option if this guy need loads of storage space on the device. Period. N4 is a great device but S4 Mini has the advantage of having expandable storage.

Updates. If these matter, get the nexus. Learnt my lesson after two non nexus android phones.

So according to you guys N4 will be better deal for me over S4 but isn't it so straightforward? I mean nobody's talking about UI and other remaining features or overall performance etc..

User interface and performance is largely subjective. Some people like skinned user interfaces, I don't. As for performance, both of these devices have capable hardware though Google is more likely to support N4 for a longer time period than Samsung with S4 Mini.
