Samsung Galaxy S III Mini now official Samsung has announced the widely anticipated Samsung Galaxy S III Mini today, a smaller toned down version of their hit Galaxy S III.
The new device will have a smaller 4-inch Super AMOLED WVGA resolution display with 800 x 480 pixels resolution. The phone has a solid 233 PPI and weighs just 3.93 ounces. The screen size is identical to Apple's latest iPhone.

Under the hood is a 1GHz dual-core S3 processor, a significant step down from the S III's global quad-core processor and high-end dual core model in the U.S.

The Mini will also step down to a 5MP camera and a 1.2MB front-side camera and remove LTE support, making sure the phone is definitely not going to the U.S. anytime soon.



Furthermore, the phone has Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, 8GB or 16GB storage with a microSD slot, a 1500mAh battery, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and all software from the S III, including S Voice.
