Samsung announces Galaxy S III mini featuring dual-core processor, 4-inch screen and more

Just as we reported yesterday, Samsung has officially announced the new Galaxy S III mini smartphone at an event in Frankfurt Germany. Overall the phone is good but those who were hoping to get a downsized version of original Galaxy S III will be disappointed as it features lower specifications than that. Galaxy S III mini runs Android 2.1 and features a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen with WVGA resolution instead of 4.8-inch like its bigger brother.
