Samsung I8190 Galaxy S III Mini

Product Description
"Samsung I8190 Galaxy S III Mini" was an Android phone 4.1 (Jelly Bean) with the potential a 4.0 display while maintaining the familiar Galaxy S3 design. When you look at the specifications: a dual-core 1GHz processor, WVGA (800 x 480) display and a 5-megapixel camera that does 720p HD videos, speaker grille, LED flash and corporate branding serving to break up those otherwise calm, white battery-cover waters.

"Samsung I8190 Galaxy S III Mini" is full of graphical capabilities, fast screen transitions, and an upgraded Google Now service featuring contextual search. Over at the front, there's a VGA camera for conference calls. The 4.0 display is of Super AMOLED variety and pushes 800×480 resolution.

"Samsung I8190 Galaxy S III Mini" is a handsome enough device. Our review model was the marble white version (pebble blue is also available), which looks bright and modern in person. The smooth lines along the top and bottom make the whole thing feel like one continuous shape.

Dimensions-wise, it's 2.48 inches wide by 4.79 inches tall, and just a touch over a third of an inch deep. Underneath which is where you'll find the full-sized SIM slot, 1,500 mAh battery, and, beneath that again, the microSD card slot for expanding the onboard (8GB or 16GB) memory by up to another 32GB.
