Hasta La Gadget!

Samsung knows that they have quite the winner on their hands with the Samsung Galaxy S4, and you know what they say – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Well, Samsung does seem to have plans to expand the Galaxy S4 family with a trio of new models, namely the Galaxy S4 Mini, the Galaxy S4 Active, and the Galaxy S4 Zoom. Of course, do bear in mind that these are similar in terms of branding to the Galaxy S4, but chances are pretty high that whatever you find underneath the hood would be different from the actual flagship model. It is somewhat like the Galaxy S3 Mini, where it is not just a smaller Galaxy S3, despite sharing similar physical characteristics, albeit with a familiar brand attached to it.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom is set to be released sometime in the 23rd week of the year (namely June 3-9), with a white version in tow to boot. In week 29 (that would be July 15-21), there will be a minimum of three more models arriving, namely the Metallic Orange Galaxy S4 Active as well as the Galaxy S4 Mini, where the latter would arrive in both white and black shades.

It was back in March when it was first rumored that the Galaxy S4 Mini will launch shortly after the full fledged S4. An alleged photo of the device was also leaked in the same month. The mini Android smartphone has been confirmed through Samsung’s UAPROF website though the release date is still unknown. Now according to a new report the Korean manufacturer has delayed Galaxy S4 mini release, pushing it to mid-July.

There are many Galaxy S4 mini rumors out there. The device will reportedly ship in two colors, Black Mist and White Frost. Apparently there will be two variants of the mini S4, one with a single SIM card and the other with LTE. Both of these models are separate from the rumored dual-SIM Galaxy S4 mini. The device is expected to tout a 4.3 inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 960 x 540. The single SIM variant is rumored to have a quadcore processor and the dual SIM one is rumored to have a dual core processor. An 8 megapixel camera, microSD card slot and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean are also expected. No pricing details available as of now.

We’ve been hearing rumors about a possible Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, with the latest report more or less confirming the existence of the device, but without an official announcement, it could be moot for all we know. In any case if you wanted more proof of the existence of the Galaxy S4 Mini, it seems that the device has popped up on Samsung’s UAPROF website which apparently confirms the screen size, model number and color options of the Galaxy S4 Mini.

As expected, the Galaxy S4 Mini will sport a 4.3” qHD display with an 8MP camera and the usual connectivity options, such as WiFi, AGPS, and will run on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. It is also expected to be available in Black Mist and White Frost. The Galaxy S4 Mini is also expected to come in three models – the GT-I9190, and the GT-I9192 which is the Galaxy S4 Mini DUOS, the dual-SIM variant of the phone. The last model is the GT-I9195 which is supposedly the LTE version of the phone. Still no word on when the phone will be announced, but we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled.

As with the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, Samsung is looking to do the same with the Galaxy S4 and could be launching the Galaxy S4 Mini. We’ve seen an alleged photo of the device, although it seems that the existence and possible launch date for the device could have been revealed by Businessweek writer, Sam Grobart. Grobart has been working with Samsung for a recent article, and in his article, Grobart wrote that the Samsung Galaxy S4 “will probably be another huge hit for Samsung, as will the S 4 mini that will go on sale soon after.” Considering that he has been working with Samsung on his report, it is safe to assume that he might have heard about some things that might not.

Alternatively it is possible that Grobart is speculating about the release of the Galaxy S4 Mini, and based his opinion on what Samsung has done with the Galaxy S3 Mini. However with the alleged leaked photo we saw earlier, we wouldn’t be surprised if Samsung had a Galaxy S4 Mini in the works, and while we’ll take the release date with a hint of skepticism for now, we will still keep our eyes peeled for more information, so stayed tuned for more updates! In the meantime what do you guys think of a Galaxy S4 Mini? Will you be interested in such a device, or would you much prefer its bigger brother, the Galaxy S4?

Is Samsung on a trend towards the miniaturization of their flagship devices? Perhaps, if the latest rumor is to be believed. When Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S3 was released, that particular effort was followed up some time after with the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, although the latter did not really do as well as the folks over at Samsung would have expected, since there are also other mid-range devices like the Galaxy Ace hanging around. The latest rumor has it that the next generation Galaxy S4 from the South Korean conglomerate would be accompanied by the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini.

Since this is a rumor in its infancy, it goes without saying that there is no way to tell on just what the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini will be able to deliver, although if one were to take history into consideration, then the Galaxy S4 Mini could very well be equipped with a 4” High Definition display, but it will most probably not come with a quad-core Exynos processor or 2GB RAM, and neither can we expect a 13-megapixel shooter at the back. Only time will tell, so do enjoy the mock image of the Galaxy S4 on the right for the moment.
