Samsung Galaxy S 4 Mini

Samsung is already making this a tradition. After the Samsung Galaxy S III Mini and after announcing their 2013 Android flagship, the Galaxy S IV, Samsung has finally announced the next iteration of the Galaxy S Mini line of smartphones. Dubbed, obviously, as the Samsung Galaxy S IV Mini, the device has probably a lot of first from the Korean smartphone giant. The SGS 4 Mini is probably Samsung's first device to sport a Super AMOLED display that has a qHD (960x540) resolution and probably is also the world's first smartphone to sport a 1.5GB RAM. As what Samsung was trying to say to the world with the SGS 3 Mini, the SGS 4 Mini is almost exactly half of its bigger brother the SGS 4. Unlike the SGS 3 Mini, I am not disappointed with this device right here. Why? First, it comes in two versions a 3G variant and a 4G LTE variant. Second, the two versions will come with either a 1.5GB RAM (3G) and 2GB of RAM (4G LTE) which is neat because this is supposed to be a lower-end smartphone (if it ain't the Galaxy S it ain't a high-end smartphone). So yup! I love the device and I would definitely recommend this to those who are looking for a smartphone with almost all of the SGS 4's features sans the SGS 4's hefty price.
