AT LAST...Breaking NEWS NEW SAMSUNG S3:hyper: is Coming but in a new factor the mini factor 'but S3 has already killed the all iPhones including the new one, now Samsung goes for the Double Kill':-D
Samsung today confirmed that they will be revealing a 4-inch version of their flagship Samsung Galaxy S III later this week. While the phone doesn’t yet have a name, Samsung mobile chief JK Shin said that increased interest in Europe for a 4-inch smartphone is what led to the company deciding to release a smaller version of the S III.

While no other formal details were given, full specifications and images of the phone have already leaked online, with website MobileGeeks being the first to post both the phone’s specs and images.

Man that's what I too want what the hell can we do with this 4.0" screen, I was looking forward for more like S II Design and a 4.5 or 4.6" Screen at least and a 2500mAh battery which S II does int have

Only good thing in S3 mini is, it comes with JB OOB.

Excellent strategy by Samsung to retain in number 1 spot.

the main difference between S Advance & S3 Mini is 4.1 JB, 256 MB RAM and possibly better chip set. Its getting too much hype for this package. Its a nice replacement for Galaxy S & Cousins at 20K price range.

That's why Samsung becomes the world’s largest smartphones seller.
They keep introducing one after one with some new innovation in their devices no matter what all hurdles are there in their ways.

I think the reason Samsung didnt add much to S3 mini is because it would come close to successor of Galaxy S2. They may want to keep a position still open for Galaxy S2 successor, much like the HTC One S. Despite the advertizing, Samsung is pretty careful about not adding too much to a mid-level priced phones which might damage prospects their Flagship products. It sure was never meant to come any where near iPhone 5. What they shouldnt have done is releasing S Advance before hand or advertize it as being a miniS3 but its a perfect successor of galaxy S.
