Let's take a better sight of what this cellphone offers to us.

This device ships with a fast 1.2 GHz Dual-Core processing unit, packed into a STE U8420 chip and 1 GB RAM. Collaborating with graphic calculations, this cellphone also counts with a 320 megahertz ARM Mali-400 MP1 graphics processing unit. This phone comes with a good 8 GB internal storage and a slot for an SD memory card, which allows the user to store hundreds of applications without any trouble.

This phone is offerred in 2 different colors, blue and white. The S III mini feels much lighter than what one would think about a phone this size. This cellphone has a wonderful design, with a thickness of just 0.39".

This phone features two cameras, a 5 megapixels back facing camera and a 0.3 megapixels front facing camera. This cellphone can also film HD 1280x720 videos at 30 fps. The camera also has lots of valuable features: flash, auto-focus, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization, geo tagging and smile detection shooting.

Samsung designed this cellphone with a good looking 4 inches screen, and a 800 x 480 resolution, giving this cellphone a detailed graphic quality. This screen uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

This device features a medium capacity 2000 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery that provides this cellphone a quite short battery duration comparing with other similar devices. This phone has a reported 11 hs talk time and a 370 hs stand by time.

This phone features Wi-Fi capability (and it can be shared with other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE high speed data connection and the fastest 3G connectivity, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Samsung Galaxy S III mini uses a SIM card for GSM connection and it can connect to both GSM and CDMA.

This cellphone also comes with a couple interesting characteristics as NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your phone close to another NFC device or tag), Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Geolocation, and multiple sensors like Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

Samsung sells the S III mini for 145 dollars, which is not very cheap for a phone this level. This phone is definitely a great option no matter if you want it majorly for social networks and internet browsing, need a work phone, want it to take plenty of pictures or will use it to play games.
