As we have already informed you, Samsung will organize a special event on June 20th on which it will introduce a number of Android and Windows Phone mobile devices. The company’s long-anticipated Galaxy S4 mini was among the key products that were expected to be announced this June. These rumours got out of control after Samsung accidentally added the mini version of the latest Galaxy S smartphone to its apps catalogue. Even though the technology giant quickly fixed the mistake, the surprise was already spoiled.
Despite that, however, Samsung quickly found a way to surprise its consumers again. The South Korean company showed off Galaxy S4 mini ahead of June 20th, leaving us guessing about its plans for the upcoming event.
The new mini smartphone is less “mini” than its predecessor. It has a 4.3” screen with a resolution of 950×540 pixels. In comparison, Galaxy S3 mini had a 4” display with 800×480 pixels. Nevertheless, the new mini will weigh 107 grams and it will be only 8.94mm thick. Also, the phone will be offered in two colours – Black Mist and White Frost.
In addition, Samsung Galaxy S4 mini boost with more power. The device runs on 1.7GHz processor, while S3 mini used a 1GHz one. Also, it comes with 1.5GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory capacity.
But probably most impressive is Galaxy S4 mini’s camera. The smartphone has an 8MP camera which is an upgrade with 3MP compared to S3 mini.
The smaller version of Samsung Galaxy S4 will be pretty similar to its big brother. For example, S4 mini will too run on Android 4.2.2. In addition, it will have a WatchON’s IR remote that can control set-top boxes, TVs and DVD players. Also, Samsung’s new smartphone will support applications like S Health which are also seen on Galaxy S4.
The introduction of a smaller version of a flagship smartphone is not a new strategy for Samsung. The company traditionally releases a mini model of its primary one. Although Galaxy S3 mini was released about six months ago, the company has every reason to launch a new mini model of it S4. That is due to the fact that Samsung’s latest smartphone currently enjoys record sales.
Samsung has not still shared anything on the device’s price or release date.
