Yesterday Samsung announced a “Mini” version of the Samsung Galaxy S4, while it may be mini in comparison to the original Galaxy S4, the Galaxy S4 Mini is still a pretty big phone. Defining the large handsets making Korean company’s dream for the future. The specs include a 1.7GHz dual-core processor, Android 4.2.2, GPS, GLONASS, WiFi, 8GB internal memory (expandable up to 64), and 1.5GB of RAM.


The display is a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED qHD display which will horribly disappoint onlookers, all juiced up by a 1,900mAh battery. But this news is old!, Our tipster within Samsung has confirmed that the plans for the launch of this phone have already been penned down and the Hardware will arrive as soon as early July and will also be kept in the under Rs. 25,000 price bracket.


The Galaxy S4 Mini from Samsung India, will be offered up in two variants a dual sim version and a single sim version, with a possibility of LTE enabled Single Sim variant. However, our source made it clear that he was unaware if both dual sim and single sim variants will be launched together.


The Galaxy S4 Mini will be offered up in the same two colors as the big brother White Frost and Black Mist. More details when available.

if it was priced below 20k then it would have been a steal but at 25k Xperia SP and Nexus 4 will eat it alive lol

And also better CPU performance. SP's benchmarks are almost same as Z/ZL/NExus 4 and better in some cases.

Samsung Galaxy S4 mini is having a 1.7GHz dual-core processor along with the support of 1.5GB of RAM. It also has internal storage of 8 GB in which 5GB...I think its a great addition by the Korean giant for sure....We Indians are becoming an utter interest of global smartphone makers...Samsung earlier started manufacturing Galaxy S4 in India....Now it has also planned to launch the S4 Mini in July in India...great in deed....

and why the processor would make a difference as both sp and mini would have the same dual core 1.7 ghz crait?? :confused:
and i see that s4 mini has the same gpu as xperia l which is not so bad, with 512 mb more ram. so at 23k i think it can be a tough competitor for sp i we forget about the display? (just trying to be unbiased, i own an sp btw :p)

When N4 is available for 26k doesn't make sense to sense to buy S4 mini at 25k..
Anywhere near 20k can be considered..

HTC One Mini is also rumored to have S400. If priced rightly it can kill all medium budget phones except kraits:

I see in the link u provided,that none of snapdragon 400 has a better gpu than adreno 305.also processor speed in many cases are lower than that compared to snapdragon s4 series proccys.then why snap 400 is better than snap s4?

Not gonna happen

As 110% HTC will price this above 25k which means other phones will kill this :lol:

krait>S400. My bad.
Agreed with ZTR. Looking at HTC habit of ridiculously overpricing their phones, One Mini may not succeed.
