As the name denotes, it is smaller than the original Samsung Galaxy S3. The screen measures 4 inches compared to a 4.8 inch screen on the original design, though this does, by no means, appear inadequate. The screen makes up the majority of the phone's fa...

While it makes obvious concessions for size and price, the HTC One Mini is, at the very least, a faithful miniaturization of the company’s flagship One. The same cannot be said for the Samsung Galaxy S III Mini, which shares little DNA with its namesake a...

For those who couldn’t stomach the sheer size of its bigger brother, the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini is here. It takes the same pebble design cues as Sammy’s smash hit super phone, as well as cutting edge Android Jelly Bean software, and shoves it into a sm...
Unlike the truly boring Sony Xperia J we checked out this week, the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini’s got a bit of panache: it takes the same curved styling of the S3, and white hue to boot. It’s plastic, yes, but somehow it seems stylish too.And it runs almost exactly the same software too: Samsung’s homescreen and navigation screens are colourful and easy to use, and you’ll find the same excellent Pop-U...
While it may sport similar software to the Samsung Galaxy S3, the S3 Mini’s hardware pales in comparison. The four inch screen, though compact, is a lower resolution 800x480, which looks grainy and old against the pin sharp HD display of its bigger brother. And the 1GHz dual-core processor, though fast enough for watching video and a spot of web browsing, isn’t as scorchingly quick either.The fiv...
