Samsung Launches Galaxy S III Mini

Earlier today, Samsung launched the much anticipated, Samsung Galaxy S III Mini, however, the announcement has been somewhat disappointing. Despite the smartphone’s name, the Samsung Galaxy S III Mini is not that impressive. The device sports a 4-inch Super AMOLED display running at 800×480, a dual-core 1GHz processor, 5 megapixel camera, a VGA resolution front facing camera, and is running Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). To top it all off, the phone does not support LTE.  Wait, what? Yep — no LTE support.

The Samsung Galaxy S III Mini is a mere shell of the original Galaxy S III and it certainly won’t make iPhone 5 owners jealous. It may share a name with the original Galaxy S III, but it sure isn’t of the same calibre. If you want a smartphone with a 4-inch screen, the iPhone 5 is still the way to go.

What do you think of the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S III Mini? Are you disappointed or is it what you were expecting?
