SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 MINI REVIEW
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, a global leader in mobile technology and digital solutions, today announced Samsung GALAXY S4 mini, a powerful yet compact version of Samsung’s bestselling smartphone, GALAXY S4. The GALAXY S4 mini delivers the superior performance, intuitive ease-of-use and sleek design of the GALAXY S4 in a highly portable, chic and compact design, making it an ideal companion for everyday life. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini wants to offer a mid-size, affordable phone for those who think the full-size Samsung Galaxy S4 is a bit too big, a bit too pricey. Galaxy S4 mini which follows the debut of the S4 just a month ago, will have a 4.3-inch screen - still bigger than Apple Inc's 4-inch iPhone 5 - and a 8-mega pixel rear-facing camera. As with the Galaxy S3 Mini that came before, this edition is targeted more toward the shop bought than the high-end industry. Here in the middle, the Small performs the role of the discounted choice compared to the marquee Samsung Galaxy S4 mini, without compromising too many of the superphone's more interpreting features.
