The Samsung Galaxy S III Mini (GT-I8190) is a touchscreen-based, slate-sized smartphone designed and manufactured by Samsung. It was announced in October 2012 and released in November 2012. The Galaxy S III Mini tech specifications includes a 4 inch Super AMOLED Display, dual-core processor running at 1 GHz with 1 GB of RAM, 5 megapixel rear camera and a front-facing camera for video calls or self-portrait photography.[2]

It is a bite-sized cousin of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and it comes with the basic necessities on its bigger brother such as Pop-Up Play, Best Photo, Smart Stay, Direct Call, S Voice etc. However it lacks an 8 megapixel rear camera, bigger 4.8 inch screen and Corning Gorilla Glass Display like its brother.

This device has a 42h endurance rating.[2] The device initially ran on Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean) but has now been updated to 4.1.2.[2] Other features include Samsung's TouchWiz Skin, S Voice, ChatON instant messaging, Smart alert, Buddy Photo Share, Pop up play, S Suggest, Video Hub, Game Hub 2.0, and the S Beam technology (S Beam only available on special edition GT-I8190N).

Samsung Galaxy Express [edit]

There is also another variant called Galaxy Express (GT-I8730) which was launched in March 2013[3] featuring a similar design to the Galaxy S3 Mini but with additional features such as 4G LTE, NFC. It also features a bigger 4.5 inch screen with Super AMOLED Plus and retains all the features which the S3 Mini has.
