Samsung is already one of the most popular mobile brands on the planet, with the Galaxy being a common device in the hands and thoughts of many. In a move to no doubt acquire more market share, Samsung is planning to release more phones—variants of its S4 line. These phones are going to be called the S4 Mini, the S4 active, and the S4 zoom. This article will talk about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S4 mini and provide insight on what to expect.
Who should opt for Galaxy S4 Mini?
Some of you may be wondering what is the purpose of producing a smaller version of the Galaxy S4? The answer to that is simple: to capitalize off the success of the flagship device by providing a less costly alternative that also satisfies a section of the market worried about the trend of phones getting bigger.
Well, this might not be the original picture of the device. But, all Galaxy Devices look alike apart from their sizes.
If you look around you’ll notice that many people are carrying pretty large phones. While you will no doubt get a dazzling display with a 5-inch phone and a very large resolution, the issue becomes mobility: people’s hands aren’t all the same size and so everyone won’t feel comfortable operating a large screen device single handed-ly; also, phones are known for being easily stored in one’s pocket, so if putting your phone away becomes a hassle because of a large screen then people will really start to resist the device. This coupled with a high-end phone’s initial price offering creates a gap in the market, one that Samsung aims to fill.
So, in what way the Samung Galaxy S4 Mini is smaller than the S4?
The Galaxy S4 Mini is a lower-end phone compared to the standard S4, this means that the specs of this product isn’t as high and consequently neither is the price. The specs. for the S4 Mini are as follows:
Screen Size: The S4 Mini has a 4.3-inch screen size compared to the 5-inch screen of the regular S4. The thing is, a 4.3-inch screen is hardly “mini” by most people’s standards—for example, the iPhone 5 (the most recent one) has a 4-inch screen.
CPU: The S4 will have a dual-core chip that runs at 1.7 GHz. The regular S4 has a range of quad-core chips that go from 1.2 GHz to 1.9 GHz. While having more cores is better for handling resource intensive tasks, a dual-core chip isn’t nearly the step down as many people believe.
GPU: This device will have an Adreno 305, which if you do a little bit of digging is quite a nice graphics processor to have as it is said to bring Xbox 360 graphics to your phone.
Operating System: Android 4.2.2 a.k.a Jelly Bean. This is the latest and greatest operating system from Google and is also the same one present in the standard S4.
RAM: 1.5 GB of random access memory serves this miniature version of the S4. The regular S4 only has .5 GBs more for a total of 2GB of RAM.
Internal Storage: It will have 8GB of memory to store data on. This is on the lower-end of the memory spectrum as the regular S4 starts at 16GB and can go up to 64GB.
Camera: The S4 will have a nice 8 megapixel rear camera that has a range of features that you’d expect on a high-end phone camera. The only thing that is missing is some extra megapixels as the regular S4 comes in at 13.
Video Camera: Able to take high definition 1080p video is one of the things that the S4 Mini has in common with the regular S4.
Taking a look at these specs, you’ll be hard pressed to actually consider this too much of a step down. With connectivity offering on par with the Galaxy S4 there isn’t really anything to separate the 2 save for a few digits here and there.
Conclusion of the author:-
The price for the S4 Mini is currently unknown, but it can be assumed that it will be somewhat of a deal breaker: if the phone isn’t that much cheaper than the regular S4 then you might as well take the extra value that comes with better specs, however, if the price warrants the step down in performance Samsung might have a winner on its hands. But the news we got was that it won’t have a mini price tag, let’s wait for the accurate Samsung Galaxy S4 mini price in India. Hope you enjoyed it.
