Samsung reveals Galaxy S III Mini

Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy S III Mini, a 4-inch Android 4.1 Jelly Bean smartphone that sports a similar design to its bigger, flashier sister while dialling down the features and specs.

The S III Mini’s 4-inch Super AMOLED screen is 800 x 480 rather than HD, its camera is 5MP rather than 8MP and there’s a 1GHz dual-core processor rather than the S III’s quad-core 1.4GHz CPU.

It comes with 8GB or 16GB of storage plus a microSD supporting up to 32GB extra - the S III senior offers 16GB, 32GB and soon 64GB of built-in space with the option to add an extra 64GB via a card. There’s the same amount of RAM though: 1GB.

On the design front, it’s a little thicker than the S III at 9.9mm, although it weighs a little less at 111.5g. The battery is 1,500mAh rather than 2,100mAh.

Samsung is yet to reveal pricing, release date or local availability. The smartphone is expected to arrive in time for Christmas.
