Following the October launch of the Samsung Galaxy S 3 Mini, doubts were raised on the release of the smaller model of the flagship smartphone of Samsung in the US market.

However, the Samsung Galaxy S 3 Mini has made its appearance on Amazon and has a price tag of around $410. The fact that the device is an unlocked version explains why the price tag is rather high since users will have a choice on which mobile network provider they will sign up to.

If you have long wanted to get a hold of the smaller model of one of the most popular smartphone offerings of the South Korean manufacturer, you should move fast since stocks of the Samsung Galaxy S 3 Mini are disappearing fast. The Samsung Galaxy S 3 Mini is compatible with the networks of T-Mobile and AT&T.

The smaller model of the popular Samsung smartphone has a smaller display screen at four inches and a resolution of 800 x 480. The Samsung Galaxy S 3 Mini features a 1 GHz dual-core processor, 1 GB RAM, and uses the Jelly Bean Android 4.1 OS. It also has a VGA camera in front and a five-megapixel rear-facing camera. Users can choose between the 8GB or the 16GB internal storage, which can be expanded to 32GB through a microSD memory slot. Connectivity options include Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, NFC, and the Android Beam.

The Samsung Galaxy S 3 Mini has a similar design as its big brother although it is much smaller and is lighter. In terms of its feature, the smaller version is considered as a downgrade compared to the original model of the device.
