Samsung Galaxy S III Mini confirmed: 4.0-inch screen, will be unveiled tomorrow
Samsung is holding an event in Germany tomorrow, and it’s clear that the device will be focused exactly on the European market. Shin only confirmed that the Galaxy S III Mini will have a smaller, 4-inch screen, and obviously a lower price, but there are no further details.
"We'll be launching a 4-inch Galaxy S III on the 11th in Germany," Shin said. "There's a lot of demand for a 4-inch screen device in Europe. Some call it an entry-level device, but we call it 'mini.'"
Designwise, the handset should be very similar to the original S III. All of that sounds really good, and it comes just as the iPhone 5 has arrived, raising questions about the benefits of single-handed usage on a smaller screen. Samsung might just deliver that tomorrow, stay tuned.

Screen resolution will be the key factor.

Apple Strategy: We release whatever we want to, customer should adjust their requirement!
Samsung Strategy: We release every variation of product to match every customer's twisted demands!
Like sammy for that. As far as the design concern, as yesterday someone said in the comments, samsung is all about offering beast over beauty!

That's how Samsung rolls since its inception. Always prepared to adapt

I think I lost some brain cells after reading this :/

Plastic and plastic... stale thing to say and pointless.
I've never seen someone who uses his 'Metal' iPhone without a protective case, while in case of samsung I see many people who prefer original feel of the device, without a case.

HIGHLY doubt the specs will be near as good as the original S3.........but im also hoping they prove me wrong

What if its identical as far as the guts, just a smaller screen. Thats be somethin huh?
13. rickywinataa (Posts: 261; Member since: 05 Apr 2012)
more likely the screen resolution will go down to qHD (275PPI) which is still great.
processor clock speed might also get down to around 1.2 GHz to compromise the smaller battery

I would like to see a beefed up galaxy s duos specs wise.

Heck Apple will not like Samsung using the word "MINI" for their product line because they will claim that it will hurt their iPad MINI sales. Looks like Samsung teases Apple on purpose :)

Maybe but Samsung already have released an Samsung galaxy mini last year....phew apple can't patent term "MINI".
24. SonyXperiaNexus (Posts: 367; Member since: 01 Oct 2012)
this isnt the first mini device samsung is going to release. it looks more like apple copying sammy.
30. someones4 (Posts: 607; Member since: 16 Sep 2012)
Apple will enfoce it either way
17. Ragnarockd (Posts: 47; Member since: 27 Aug 2012)
Are they gonna retain the quad core in it as well, maybe under-clocked to 1GHz.
20. phil2n (Posts: 458; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)

Whats with mini phones/tablets now? Ipad mini, Galaxy S3 mini? Arent we supposed to be getting bigger. BIGGER THE BETTER! NOTE II!

Apple is trying to mimic android with 7-inch tablets. Meanwhile samsung is trying to satisfy apple users' complaints of needing small screens.
