Samsung has found incredible success with the Galaxy S III. Even Apple’s best attempts at routing Samsung with patent lawsuits only served to increase sales of the Android device. Now Samsung is almost ready to move into phase two of its master plan – release a smaller version of its most popular handset at a more affordable price.
Samsung announced today that the Galaxy S III Mini will be coming
to the UK on November 8. Samsung also neglected to mention a price for the
handset despite it launching this week.
“Our latest addition to the Galaxy portfolio, the Galaxy S III
Mini brings the high performance, intuitive ease-of-use and nature-inspired
design of the Galaxy S III in a new elegant yet compact form. Following the
massive success and popularity of the Galaxy S III and all its features, we are
confident customers will enjoy the Galaxy SIII Mini when it hits the shelves on
the 8th November.”
The Samsung Galaxy S III Mini isn’t exactly like its bigger
brother. Samsung had to make some sacrifices to bring the size and price down.
As its name suggests, the S III Mini features a 4-inch display that’s powered
by a relatively weaker 1GHz dual-core processor. The phone is also only
available in 8GB and 16GB varieties.
I'd say the war has just began.
ReplyDeleteI haven't physically seen the iPad mini, but I doubt it's success; Of what value is the iPhone then?
On a second thought, if the price of the iPad mini is attractive enough, a lot of customers would flock. It's pose a challenge to the Amazon Kindle; The female folk would lovve it too.
As for Samsung, lets watch and see. I have no doubts that the SIII mini would be a major sale for the company.
