SAMSUNG 1500 mAh Replacement Battery for Galaxy S3 Mini

The battery arrived in 2 days despite being ordered late in the afternoon. Much earlier than stated 5*****. The battery was ordered BECAUSE one of the photos highlighted it was the 3 pin version. It was the 4 pin version 1*. The battery worked fine on the phone but didn't solve the problem of short battery life, although to be fair 1500mAh is not a great capacity. Also to be fair again, the phone it was bought for came with the 4 pin version, I just hoped that a 3 pin battery on a 3 pin phone might be better 3*. Satisfied with the product but not with the advertising. I hate to give an overall 3* rating for such great service and a legit product because of one photo, but that's what it comes down to.

I doubt this is a genuine product but it works perfectly as needed and for a low price. I don't understand the top (1 star) review saying he replaced his battery and still has to charge it within 24 hours because that is typical of almost all smartphones today. It's also very handy to have a spare charged battery with you to make sure your phone isn't going to die on you.

* PhysicalMy original battery - over three and a half years old - needed to be charged twice a day or more, so i decided to buy a replacement battery. The cost is very agreeable. This battery being an original Samsung, means that my previous poor experiences with third party batteries has been avoided. This battery is wide and thin and was sent in an small padded envelope. It fits the smartphone as stated. I have checked online and an authoritative source suggested the best action is to charge this battery for 24 hours to shape the charge.

Not really the correct battery for the S3 Mini, but working in the phone OK. Too much hassle to send it back. Cheap enough.UPDATE 31/12/2016.Would not recommend this battery for S3 mini at all! As stated already, not really the correct battery. Further more, like I have seen in other reviews, it does not keep it's charge! Have to set the phone on lowest power settings, and don't dare make too may phone calls... I bought 2 so had to switch to the other battery twice already! Still, too much hassle to send it back. It will cost me more money. Waste of good time to buy these...

Fits just like the original and seems to hold the charge. Arrived promptly. I'm happy with this product- only had it two weeks so difficult to know if it will last but so far so good.

Good item came with 50% charge and lasts a while only problem I have is it takes a good few hrs to fully charge bit apart from that it's a decent item x

Works as described and has so far lasted very well. Has saved me having to purchase a new phone for several months so far!

It's a battery, make sure it's the right size for what you want, I failed to do so, so it's too big.
