Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini officially announced

After a lot of rumors smaller version of Samsung Galaxy S3 over past few weeks, Samsung officially unveiled the Galaxy S3 Mini at an event in Germany. Previously we knew that Galaxy S3 Mini existed, but they were short on the details. All we knew for sure was that the new smartphone had just a 4-inch screen. At today’s press event, Samsung let the rest of the details out of the bag.


The Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini is powered by a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, a 4-inch Super AMOLED display (800×480 pixels) and will come with Android Jelly Bean once it ships.The smartphone will come with 16GB internal storage and a memory card for expansion. No word yet on the pricing and availability of the S3 Mini.



“The GALAXY S3 introduced a new concept of smartphone that has proven hugely popular around the world. We’re now delighted to bring its revolutionary design, intuitive usability and intelligence to the GALAXY S3 mini in a more compact form,” says JK Shin, President and Head of IT & Mobile Communications Division at Samsung Electronics. “We continue to make every effort to provide extraordinary mobile experiences to meet a wide variety of user needs.”


The Galaxy S3 Mini carries the S-Voice, Smart Stay, Direct Call and S Beam feature from the Galaxy S III.


Samsung Galaxy S3 specs


  • A dual-core 1GHz processor

  • an 800 x 400 super AMOLED display

  • VGA front cam, 5MP back cam

  • HSPA bands 14.4/5.76 900/1900/2100

  • EDGE/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 bands

  • Bluetooth 4.0, NFC

  • 8GB and 16GB onboard memory

  • microSD expansion

  • 1500 mAh battery

  • 4.8 inches by 2.5 inches by 0.39-inch

  • weighs 3.9 ounces

  • runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box

 



We believe this smartphone will be a very good option to consider, if Samsung prices it right. On paper, this is an ideal phone to compete in the Rs. 19,000 – Rs. 23,000 price bracket, competing with the likes of the HTC One V and the Sony Xperia P. Ideal time to put it on shelves in the Indian market would be just before Diwali which is towards the middle of November. However, with the global launch being pegged around Christmas, expecting it to hit shelves in India earlier would not be ideal.

How To: Install Linux the Easy Way Years ago, when Linux was new, installing and using the alternative OS was best left to propeller-head nerds with oodles of free time. Indeed, just getting Linux up and running on a machine required several hours, just the right mix of supported hardware, and then several more hours. If you were dealing with cutting-edge hardware, it would take a couple days of tinkering to achieve a working install with a graphical interface and a reliable Internet connection. These days, installing Linux is a piece of cake. In addition to the traditional distros that install Linux to your hard drive, there are also several specialized distros that run directly from your optical drive, without making any permanent changes to the Windows install already on your PC. Such LiveCD distros make it really easy to give Linux a test spin and experiment without any real danger to you or your computer.
