Samsung to unveil Galaxy S3 Mini (Rumors)

Many of us wake up today to the shocking news about Samsung's teaser of what is believed to be a smaller version of the Galaxy S3. The news is shocking for two reasons. First, Samsung had just recently made a big announcement about the new generation of Galaxy Note 2 and the phone is yet to hit major markets worldwide and has so far been released in a handful of countries. Second, it definitely takes most of us by surprise as the de-facto motto in the on-going smartphone race is 'bigger is better'. Looking at the size of S3 and Note 2, none would have guessed Samsung to release a phone with small screen.



If rumors are to be true, the new Galaxy S3 line-up would leave iPhone 5 as being squeezed out in the middle. This is a willy move by Samsung. For the past one year and recent months building up to the iPhone 5 launch, Samsung has managed to keep their work on smaller phone tightly under wrap. The pressure was then for Apple to have no option but to go with a bigger phone. Now that Apple has released a bigger iPhone, Samsung surprised us by saying that 'big can be small, and small can be big' (translated from German).

At this point of time, rumors are still scarce about the exact specification of the Galaxy S3 mini. But things would surely change over the next couple of days in the lead up to the October 11 event. I am sure that the number of leaked parts and info would explode in the coming days. Stay tuned as I will continue to juice out more info as soon as I have them.
