Today Samsung globally launched the rumored Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, a smaller version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 that hit shelves globally in May, and arrived in the U.S. this summer on five separate carriers.
In addition to having a more petite 4-inch screen and build than the Samsung Galaxy S3, the S3 Mini also scales back the specs to make the Mini a more middle-of-the road option. Samsung's original Galaxy S3 serves as its flagship premium model; in the S3 Mini, Samsung has the opportunity to flush its design and brand into the mid-tier markets and emerging markets.
Although Samsung didn't announce pricing or availability with this worldwide announcement, the asking price is sure to come in lower than its larger, more powerful cousin
