Samsung has launched the Galaxy S4 mini
smartphone in the India for Rs. 27,990.
Although the smartphone is positioned as the
compact version of company's flagship phone, the
Samsung Galaxy S4 , it's essentially a premium mid-
range phone just based on the same design
language.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 mini features a 4.3-inch
qHD (540x960 pixels) Super AMOLED display, with
a pixel density of 256ppi.
The smartphone is powered by a 1.7GHz dual-core
processor along with 1.5GB of RAM. It offers 8GB
of internal storage of which 5GB is user accessible.
The internal storage can be further expanded by up
to 64GB with the help of a microSD card. The
phone runs Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) with
Samsung's TouchWiz Nature UX layer on top.
The Galaxy S4 mini features an 8-megapixel rear
camera and a 1.9-megapixel HD front facing
camera. The camera of the phone also supports
additional features like Sound&Shot. Apart from
this, the images clicked through the Samsung
Galaxy S4 mini are automatically gathered and
saved according to the user's timeline, geo-tagging
information, or a specific event to create a photo
album.
The S4 mini is powered by a 1,900mAh battery.
Samsung will be offering the Galaxy S4 mini
smartphone in two colour options - White Frost and
Black Mist.
While the phone brings some of the premium
software and hardware features of the Galaxy S4
including Group Play, S Translator and S Health,
we're not sure if the phone has been priced right.
One can buy quad-core processor phones with
bigger screens, such as the HTC One X , LG Optimus
G and even Samsung's own Galaxy SIII at around
the same price point.
