Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini Specifications

It is always interesting what the big guys have up on their sleeves. With rumors of iPad mini launch imminent, the market survival of Samsung's line of tablet devices looks threatened. Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal pump credentials to this rumor. The Journal reported that the iPad mini has undergone mass production and in-time for November availability. Looking at how the Foxconn workers are squeezed so hard to churn out the iPhone 5, I have no idea if there is still room for them to push out the iPad mini.

Back to our topic, Samsung seems set to unveil a mini addition to their own flagship product, the Galaxy S3. Days ago, Samsung teased journalist with invitation that is prepared in German. Translated to English, it means 'small can be big and big can be small'. This fueled wild speculation that Samsung Galaxy S2 mini is on its way.

What is interesting about the S3 mini launch date is it will happen 1 day after the much speculated date in which Apple will send out its invitation for its iPad mini launch. This is what I called the 'cats and dogs' war between the biggest tech companies of our time.

Few sources have leaked information about what looks like the S3 mini. The latinopost quoted an undefined model that Samsung has put up on its page (This is how the XML code looks like). There are few versions of what we can expect of the Galaxy S3 mini screen size. Some pundits are betting on 4.8 inch screen. However, many believe that the iPhone 5 is what Samsung is going after. With the Galaxy Note 2 anticipation at all time high, many believe there is no reason for Samsung to create another phone segment (like the phablet). It will instead be trying to lure many Apple fans who are starting to consider alternatives to the iPhone due to many disappointing features in iPhone 5 such as the Mapgate. The S3 mini screen size is likely to be 4 inch, matching exactly to that of the iPhone 5.

The screen size has so far been the most talkabout feature that will set the S3 mini apart from its big brother. Other than that, the S3 mini is expected to come with Android 4.1 a.ka. Jelly Bean. Hardware-wise, the specification would likely be not much different for the two.

That is all I know so far of the Galaxy S3 mini. Like many Galaxy fans worldwide, I'm equally enthusiastic to find out for myself what the mini will look like. Stay on the lookout. I've set my calendar for October 11 and will update everyone as soon as the spec is unveiled.
