Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini Shows Up with Specs and Everything
The all new Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini has showed up, likely to be announced this week. The device will indeed make its debut and is geared toward the European market, where the company feels there is high demand for a device with a 4-inch display. Yes, the 4-inch display is also confirmed, which immediately begs the questions: when did we start considering a display larger than the first iPhone’s mini?
Samsung Galaxy S III Mini (GT-I8190) features 4" super AMOLED display with 800*480 resolution and is based on ST-Ericsson STE U8420 (two ARM Cortex-A9 cores, ARM Mali 400 graphics adapter, LPDDR2 memory controller, integrated modem) system-on-chip clocked at 1GHz. The smartphone is equipped with 5MP rear camera with LED flash, 640*480 front camera, 1GB of random access memory, 16GB internal NAND flash storage, Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n, DLNA, NFC, micro USB, 3.5mm TRRS connector and so on. The device comes with 1500mAh battery as well as Google Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean" operating system.

Well this may complicate my next smartphone decision will have to see how the display looks in person not too thrilled with the resolution but it may look better in person.

There are a good amount of people out there who want to go to S3 but don't like the size, my bro likes the size of his iphone4 and wanted to go to android so he was thinking about getting the S3 but he didnt like the size/design so much, he was also looking at the Nexus and the One X for size and feeling so the S3 mini could be for those who don't want a "bigger" phone but still a good phone.

I agree (although the Nexus isn't that much smaller). I think they really should have bumped the res though, 800x480 isn't going to look so hot on a 4" display.
