Samsung has just unveiled the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini. It was fairly obvious that Samsung will soon bring out a mini version of the S4 to replace the S3 Mini, however, they were expected to officially announce this in June.
JK Shin, CEO and President of the IT & Mobile Communication Division at Samsung Electronics had this to say about the S4 Mini: “We appreciate such unprecedented demands for the Galaxy S4 that we aimed to provide users with a life companion for a fuller, richer and simpler life. And now, we want to give people more choice with the Galaxy S4 Mini, featuring a similar look & feel to the Galaxy S4 for more compact and practical usages. The new Galaxy S4 Mini provides consumers with a new way to enjoy the flagship Galaxy S4 experience.”
JK Shin is trying to appeal to those that find the size of the S4 impractical. Featuring a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED display and a 1.7 GHz dual core processor, the S4 Mini is still a powerful device, even when compared to the full sized S4 and its 8 megapixel back camera and 1.9 megapixel HD front-facing camera are more than sufficient for taking great photos.

If you’re considering getting the S4 Mini you’ll be happy to know that we’ll soon be stocking S4 Mini accessories and cases as part of our aim to have ‘Everything First’. The S4 Mini is expected to arrive in the UK at the beginning of July 2013.
