            Those Galaxy S III owners with the 4.7" Screens,
            Must still be wondering how the heck they get that dambed thing in their pocket.
            Aha the Galaxy Mini with 4" screen! It even looks the same as the big thing so no one will know the difference!

              hey would you ever imagine the reason why people buy sIII its because of the screen size and the specs what the use of having these mini if something will change i doubt it that it will have a lot of sale eventhough this is SIII

                      I have galaxy s advance, i dropped it once and the display turn upside down, repairing cost 80% of the total cost, so I let it as is. i am really pissed, my galaxy mini can endure much more punishment than this one. now i see this s3 mini, what a joke, and an unfunny one by samsung, that is EXACTLY the same as galaxy s advance with new body.I really disappointed with samsung, I will buy sony experia this month, bye samsung.For those who have s advance or this, fortify your phone or you'll regret it!!!!!

                          I would rather go for S2 than buying this phone.

                            Upon first impressions, this device is very underwhelming. With this device, Samsung is trying to compete with Apple in one very specific area. Screen size. And not awesome large screens. The exact same screen size. That said, I feel that this is more likely to fail than succeed. The specs, given that it is similar in form factor to the iPhone 5, are heavily underspecced. In fact, its specs are lower than that of the Samsung Galaxy S II, which is becoming a more and more affordable device as time goes on. The device is rather beefy (which for many will be a turn off, especially when you look at the iPhone 5's 7.6mm thick (thinner than the SGS2's 8.6(?)mm thick build) design). The camera is only 5MP, and probably worse than the Galaxy Nexus' 5MP shooter (again, compared to the iPhone 5, this could be a huge mistake). It's got a 1GHz dual core processor (which is fine for a device of it's size, but an Exynos with a higher clocking would have been a far better choice). The screen resolution should be slightly higher and/or Super AMOLED Plus; given the Super AMOLED Plus display on the Samsung Galaxy S II, which is only 0.3" larger, putting a PenTile display on a device with a non-HD resolution really feels like a slap to the face. While not a requirement/necessary, a 16:9 aspect ratio would have made it a little bit sweeter (assuming a Super AMOLED Plus display). This said, I feel it necessary to point out that no, I'm not an Apple fanboy. In fact, I'm a Samsung fanboy, and a particularly open minded one at that. While this device can be a success, against the iPhone 5, Samsung will have to market it very carefully and very strategically. One wrong move, one missed opportunity, can damn this devices chances for success. Samsung has to have the perfect way to convince people that the stuff that this device has compared to the competition makes it worth buying. Whether they will succeed, we shall see. Considerring this is basically a glorified Samsung Galaxy S, they have their work cut out for them, which is also why I say I see the chances of this failing being higher than its chances of success.

                                this is not laggy at all coz you do not need to upgrade it. some android devices lags because of unsupported upgrade. some upgrade is risky thats why some divices are lagy. this is a good phone at all.
