Samsung really is Intelligent. It even powers its devices with 'Intelligence'.
Another 'Intelligent Feature' is 'Home Screen Page Swiping'
HOME SCREEN PAGE SWIPING
Home Screen Page Swiping lets you access the pages on the home screen at ease. On each screen there's a line of horizonal dots
representing each individual homescreen. Place
your finger on the dots and they will turn into
a slider you can use to quickly move between
screens (right&left)
Enjoy Home Screen Page Swiping ♧
'Intelligent Features' on the S3 mini are endless. Another one is 'Continuous Input'
CONTINUOUS INPUT
Continuous Input enables you to text your friends or family or updating your status without taping every letter in your Text.
To access it:
-You'll find a 'Gear-like' icon on the Keyboard.
-Tap the gear icon to get to the Keyboard configuration settings.
-In the Keyboard configuration settings, find 'Continuous input' and tap it on the check box.
A pop-up tutorial will appear when you use the Keyboard after enabling 'Continuous Input'
Enjoy Continuous Input ★
Another 'Intelligent Feature' found on the S3 mini is 'BLOCKING MODE'
BLOCKING MODE enables you to block notifications or unwanted calls and other sorts of unwanted stuff.
To access the blocking feature, go to Menu ->
Settings -> Blocking mode. Switch blocking
mode on if it isn't already.
Once blocking mode is turned on, you can scroll
through and pick which notifications you wish
to disable, including incoming calls,
notifications, alarm and timer.
You can Also set time to activate blocking mode automatically.
Enjoy using blocking mode :)
Next, I'll be showing the 'Intelligent Feature' which is 'Power Saving Mode'.
Ever saw that your battery is decreasing fast? Or you want a long lasting battery life? Well 'Power Saving Mode' is there as your phone's rescuer.
POWER SAVING MODE
Using the built-in
power saver to extend the battery life is very good.
And you can activate it:
-By pulling down the Notification bar, sliding the notification toggle to the left and tap 'Power Saving'.
When the battery gets low features like
push email will be turned and the screen
brightness will be reduced.
Alternatively if you want more control over
what features of the phone are affected
by power saving, head to Settings - Power
saving and you'll see two options. 'CPU power
saving': limits the performance of the phones
processor (but unless you play lots of intensive
games you won't notice much difference),
while Screen power saving reduces the
brightness and frame rate.
There you go, you have activated Power Saving Mode and you can start relying on it to keep you going.
As I've already shown One 'Intelligent Feature' of the Galaxy S3 mini, Today I'll be showing other 'Intelligent Features' including:
-Motion Control
-Power Saving Mode
-Blocking Mode
-Continuous Input
-Home Screen Page Swiping
Starting Up; 'Intelligent Feature':

Well the S3 mini is known as a Low End Device but it also carries some Features from it's brother the 'Galaxy S3'.
One of those Features is SMART STAY.
Smart Stay is an intelligent feature on Samsung flagship phones of which detects your Eyes via the Front Camera to be able to control the screen timeout.
Smart Stay uses the Front Camera to detect your eyes if you're looking onto the screen so that it can dim the screen light if you're not looking onto the screen in a manner to save Power.
Also notice that this Feature will not work under these misfits:
-When Front Camera is uses by another application.
-When the Front Camera can not detect your eyes.
-When device is not docked or held, for example, when it is place on a table.
-When a source of light is behind you or when using the device in the dark.
