  • 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

  • But somehow it seems stylish too.And it runs almost exactly the same software too

  • Limited storage
  • Too expensive
  • Outclassed by the cheaper Google Nexus 4
  • Pricey
  • Disappointing onscreen keyboard
  • Expensive
  • Dual core
  • Low Screen resolution
  • Samsung Apps
  • Feels unexpectedly sluggish
  • Looks overpriced
  • This is certainly not a "mini" version of the original Galaxy S3!
  • Limited gaming performances (GPU isn't powerful enough)
  • Screen resolution
  • 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
  • Poor 4-inch display
  • Disappointing 5-megapixel camera
  • Expensive for specs on offer
  • Expensive compared to rivals

  • Compact size, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, Similar look and feel to original
  • Low resolution screen compared to original, Downgraded camera, No word on AU price or release
  • The Samsung Galaxy S III mini is a downgraded version of the flagship Galaxy S III in both size and power. It will attempt to appeal to those who find flagship Android phones too big to handle but aren't necessarily interested in top-end specifications...

  • More manageable size than the S3, runs the latest version of Android out of the box, same great TouchWiz additions also available on the mini, and non-HD display is still excellent
  • Lacks the CPU kick of the normal S3, and user-accessible storage is almost half of the phone''s internal storage

  • Portability and pocketability, Thin and light weight, Great performance, Smooth glass makes it a breeze to use
  • Outdoor visibility of the display not up to the mark, Plastic build quality might put you off, Cameras are poor, RAM buckles under pressure,
  • The Galaxy S3 mini is a great little device. Is it just a smaller S3? No, it totally looks like a S3, but there are features and performance benefits you will miss if you are looking for a smaller S3. And yes, it is completely unique and stands on its ...

  • Is the Samsung I8190 a shrunk-down Galaxy S III? It vastly depends on your understanding of a mini version, but we believe that it isn't. It's more of a Galaxy S Advance repackaged in an Galaxy S III-styled body and with a tad extra RAM. It's not a bad ph...

  • IntroductionThe Samsung I8190 Galaxy S III mini is like a nostalgic return to the roots for the highly successful Galaxy S franchise. Quite similar to the original Galaxy S specs-wise, the new SIII mini aims to get as much of the Galaxy S III's personalit...

  • Great alternative to the S3, Good camera, Long lasting battery, Software has little compromise
  • about it:
  • We guess what keeps this an S3 is the software, while the hardware deserves to be called S3 Lite rather. We loved a part of the hardware and the software, but there are a few things that hold it back. It needs a larger screen for most people as typing rea...

  • Great feature set, Handy size, Decent battery life
  • Still comes with a lot of Samsung bloatware
  • I personally need a new phone, and I think my search is over Samsung's flagship phone, the Galaxy S Ill is a marvel of modern technology. It is the culmination all of the tech Samsung had developed from the very beginning. If there was anything that was a...

  • At just PhP 14,990, you can have your smaller version of the Galaxy S III. Of course it would set you back with lower specifications, but it will have no problems running standard applications. Just to further compare it with the contenders listed in the...
