New Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (Upgraded to Android 4.1.2)



January 05,2013
Perhaps for those who found Samsung Galaxy S3 a shot above budget at launch and the price variation so far, the New Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini with Android 4.1.2 could be an alternative. The market success of Samsung Galaxy S3 and as Samsung Electronics flagship Phone is nothing to forget in a hurry.

New Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini is the immediate predecessor of the Galaxy S3 it was released in November, 2012 but announced in October same year. It was released with Android OS 4.1. However reports revealed that as at December, 2012 it has been upgraded to Android OS 4.1.2 Shipped to select countries.

The New Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini(Android 4.1.2) has the following Specs:

• 4inch AMOLED Screen Display(480x800)
• 1GHZ CPU Dual Core Cortex-A9
• Compactible with 2G and 3G Networks, HSPA 14.4/5.76 900/1900/2100 ; EDGE/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900

There are close similarity between the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the New Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini. The S voice feature that enables the phone to respond to verbal command is also in Galaxy S3 Mini. Other similarities are Operating System at launch Android OS 4.1 (Jeally Bean).

Samsung Galaxy S3 is also expected to be upgraded to Android OS 4.1.2.
The phone allows you to call a number you just receive SMS from and highlighted contact by just placing it on the ear. Explicit clarity in audio and video recordings playback. The super AMOLED high resolution screen is something to commend relative to the phone’s size.

The size and shape portray that it is a comfortable handset to grab, hold and ease of use. It thickness and plastic chassis depicts is doggedness and ability to survive adverse conditions such as dropping down which is a huge disadvantage of many of the Touchscreens Smartphones.

The front Camera help to know if you are looking at the phone which will make the phone to switch on the back light. The phone vibrates once pick up if there is any notification. I think The Samsung S3 Mini is just a modest departure of Samsung Galaxy S3.

Apart from physical size the major difference in CPU and the clock speed is not much to worry about. 1GHZ CPU is still a very high level spec for most Smartphones on the front line. And apart from theorising, it is pretty a good speed as compared to 1.4GHZ Processor. The storage capacity of 8GB and 16GB is a lot at least for a phone and is worth possessing.

The new Android Operating System(Android 4.1.2) allow screen rotation as against the portrait picture it predecessor assumed. That is each time phone is turned the screen rotate in that same direction, what a great experience.

The question as to whether Samsung Electronics devotion to the New Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini with Android 4.1.2 worth commendation is a matter of personal or individual choices. The global acceptance and the market performance so far is a pointer that it is not a moribund venture.

The room for upgrade of the Android based Operating System which was recently carried out as indicated above is also a pointer to the fact that Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini will survive the test of time.
