Samsung has officially announced the launch of its newest mid-range smartphone – the Galaxy S III Mini. The device’s specifications were leaked prior to the official announcement so we already knew what to expect. The Samsung Galaxy S III Mini is modest device supporting a similar design to that of its older brother.
Samsung has always paid the necessary attention to releasing low and mid-end devices for consumers that just want a smartphone to get the job done. Basing the design and the naming on the highly successful Galaxy S III, the Galaxy S III Mini is both attractive in design and powerful enough to not let you down when you need it most. Samsung claim that it’s small size does not mean a compromise to performance.

It is powered by a dual-core CPU clocked a 1 Ghz and it has a 5 MP camera with flash on the back and a VGA front image sensor.
