Hasta La Gadget!

Developers, heads up! If your fingers are itching for some programming action and you want to do something with the Samsung Galaxy S3 mini, then the moment has arrived, as the first firmware for the Galaxy S3 mini has just been announced. Just to have a quick recap on what the Galaxy S3 mini brings to the table, it will run on the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean operating system, where it will be accompanied by a 4″ Super AMOLED display at 480 x 800 resolution, a 5-megapixel camera at the back, and a 1GHz dual-core processor to boot. Sure, you will not find any kind of quad-core goodness, but for the size of it, the Galaxy S3 mini makes for a decent mid-range smartphone.

You will also be able to take advantage of the Touch Wiz user interface from Samsung to sweeten your Android experience, and there is NFC capability which will surely see far more use for it in the future than now. Any developers interested in picking up the Galaxy S3 mini to give their programming brains a go with the new firmware?

Samsung has confirmed that it will be unveiling the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini tomorrow, but apart from its 4” display, what sort of specs will it pack under the hood, and how will it look like? Well the folks at Mobile Geeks have managed to get their hands on a photo of what they claim is the Galaxy S3 Mini along with its specs. Assuming the photo above is true, it seems that Samsung is keeping to the design of the Galaxy S3, albeit in a smaller form factor but apart from that it shares some design similarities.

As for its specs, the Galaxy S3 Mini is expected to feature a 4” Super AMOLED 800×480 display, a STE U8420 dual-core processor clocked at 1GHz, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage that can be expanded via microSD, a 5MP rear-facing camera, a 1,500mAh battery and will come with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on board. Mobile Geek has stated that while the processor clock speed at 1GHz is confirmed, the choice of processor may not be the STE U8420. In any case it certainly looks like a low-mid ranged device, but we guess those details should be confirmed tomorrow, so be sure to check back with us then for more updates!

There were earlier rumors of an October 11th release of the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, while its UAProf was leaked just before last weekend arrived, meaning it makes perfect sense for reports of the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini to start appearing on retailers’ systems. No idea on just how true this particular leak is, as a retailer could just include the name of an unreleased device into its database just in case, instead of carrying actual stock of it, but should that be the case with the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini this time around, how come the retailer bothered to throw in two color options for the Galaxy S3 Mini? Perhaps it is to differentiate the models that come with NFC as well as those without.

Well, all we can do now is just sit tight and wait – after all, it is always far better to receive information from the horse’s mouth instead of just relying on rumors.themselves. Would you be interested in a rumored mid-range device like the Galaxy S3 Mini, or do you think that you would just give this a pass and settle for its big brother instead that has all the bells and whistles which are right up your alley?

Last week, an image of the Samsung Galaxy Music was spotted, although when exactly will we learn about the device in an official capacity remains to be seen but thanks to Samsung reportedly sending out invitations to an event on the 11^th of October, perhaps that could be the date where more details will be revealed. It has also been speculated that the 11^th of October date is when the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini will be revealed. According to the rumors, the Galaxy S3 Mini will feature a smaller (mini) display at 4”, a 5MP rear-facing camera, a dual-core CPU and will run on the latest version of Android which we’re assuming will be Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Allegedly dubbed the Galaxy S3 Mini, this device seems more the Galaxy S rather than the Galaxy S3, but perhaps it will feature the same design as the Galaxy S3 so we guess we will have to wait and see. The event will be taking place at the Samsung Mobile Store in Frankfurt so do check back with us on the 11^th for the details!
