A smaller version of the latest smartphone offering of Samsung was revealed by the South Korean company in a recent event held in Germany. The Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini features a four-inch Super AMOLED screen display with a 800 x 480 pixel resolution along with a dual-core 1GHz processor and 1GB RAM. The device will use the latest mobile OS of Google, the Jelly Bean Android 4.1.

The price and availability of the Galaxy S3 Mini in the US market was not revealed by the company.

According to the head of the mobile communications and IT division of Samsung, JK Shin, the Galaxy S3 is an innovative smartphone that was well-received in the international market. He added that the company is offering the same innovation into a much-smaller version of the device in the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini.

The Galaxy S3 Mini will have two internal storage options, an 8GB option and a 16GB option, and can be expanded using a microSD memory card up to 32GB. The smaller version of the popular Samsung smartphone also comes with a five-megapixel camera at the back and a VGA camera in front.

Connectivity options of the Galaxy S3 Mini include Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi. It also offers a near field communication feature and the Android Beam.

The Galaxy S3 Mini looks like the original device but is smaller and lighter. It is also considered a downgrade compared to the Samsung Galaxy S3, which offers a better camera, better resolution for its display, and 4G LTE connectivity.

But the features of the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini are not surprising considering that it is a smaller version of the latest flagship smartphone of Samsung.
