It was announced in October 2012 and released in November 2012. The Galaxy S III Mini technological specifications include a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, a dual-core processor running at 1 GHz with 1 GB of RAM, a 5-megapixel rear camera, and a front-facing VGA camera for video calls or selfies. It is the first major release in the Samsung Galaxy S "mini" line, and was designed to be the successor of the Galaxy W.
Samsung Galaxy S III Mini is a smaller version of the Samsung Galaxy S III and contains many of the same features; however, it lacks an 8-megapixel rear camera, bigger 4.8-inch screen and Gorilla Glass display. This device has a 42 h endurance rating. The device initially ran on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) but has now been updated to 4.1.2. Other features include Samsung's TouchWiz Skin, ChatON instant messaging, Smart alert, Buddy Photo Share, Pop-Up Play, S Suggest, S Voice, Smart Stay, Video Hub, Game Hub 2.0, and the S Beam technology (S Beam only available on special NFC edition, GT-I8190N). This device's battery varies from different carriers, and it will either have a 3-pin battery, which is widely used and sold, or a 4-pin battery.
