Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Captured on Video

Thinking about buying a Galaxy S4, but you're not sure if its 5-inch form factor is too big for your hands? Maybe this video, captured by UK's mobile operator Three, will convince you to get an S4 mini instead.

In the video, we get a close, detailed look at the Galaxy S4 mini, which was officially announced on Thursday. The device is directly compared with its older brother as well as the 6.3-inch Galaxy Mega, and it looks really tiny compared to the latter, even though its 4.3-inch screen is nothing to be ashamed about.

Toward the end of the video, Three's Brendan Arndt says the Galaxy S4 mini brings the "premium and the best features" from the Galaxy S4 in a smaller package. Still, one has to keep in mind that the mini's specs are weaker than Galaxy S4's — an 8-megapixel camera instead of a 13-megapixel one, and a dual-core processor instead of a quad-core one.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Arrives With 4.3-Inch Screen

Samsung has launched the Galaxy S4 Mini, an Android smartphone with a 4.3-inch screen and a 1.7GHz dual-core processor.

The Galaxy S4's little brother is not only smaller but, at 3.8 ounces, much lighter than Samsung's flagship phone, which weighs 4.6 ounces.

Other specifications include a 8-megapixel rear camera accompanied with a 1.9MP front-facing one, 8GB of storage (expandable via microSD cards), 3G/LTE connectivity and Wi-Fi. The phone's dimensions are 4.9 x 2.4 x 0.35 inches, and the battery capacity is 1,900mAh.

 

Exact date of availability and pricing for the Galaxy S4 mini was not announced.

Samsung will provide a hands-on preview of the Galaxy S4 mini at the recently announced Samsung Premiere event in London, June 20.
