Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini SM-J105

Previously, Korean manufacturer made smaller versions of flagships, but Galaxy S5 Mini had a display of 4.5-inches, while Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S7 does not have “little brother” at all.

In 2016 Samsung has decided to release a new smartphone with 4-inches display called Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini SM-J105. This affordable smartphone was released in February, and its price is about $ 80.

Unfortunately, the smartphone is the entry level. As a result, Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini SM-J105 has 4-inch screen with a resolution of 800×480 pixels. The processor is modest Spreadtrum SC8830, with four cores at 1.2 GHz, and graphics – Mali 400MP. Smartphone has 768 MB of RAM and 8 GB of built-in memory.

Even despite the fact that smartphone assembled from Chinese components, it works quite well.

Lenovo A1000

In September 2015 Lenovo introduced ultra-budget Lenovo A1000 smartphone, priced about $ 70-80.

The screen has the same 4 inches with a resolution of 1136×640. However, smartphone is equipped with new Apple A9, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of 64 GB built-in memory.

Leagoo Elite 8

Leagoo Elite 8 is a budget Chinese smartphone with 4 inches screen, which was released in late 2015. Of course, the specifications are very modest, but for the money is quite acceptable.

The display has a resolution of 800×480 pixels and IPS matrix. As the processor uses 64-bit quad-core MT6735. The only pity is 0.5 GB of RAM, which in 2016 is not enough. Also it has very small built-in storage -4 GB.

Thus, we can say: there are still a lot of 4-inch smartphones on market, but only Apple offers a compact flagship.
