Unlike the truly boring Sony Xperia J we checked out this week, the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini’s got a bit of panache: it takes the same curved styling of the S3, and white hue to boot. It’s plastic, yes, but somehow it seems stylish too.And it runs almost exactly the same software too: Samsung’s homescreen and navigation screens are colourful and easy to use, and you’ll find the same excellent Pop-U...
While it may sport similar software to the Samsung Galaxy S3, the S3 Mini’s hardware pales in comparison. The four inch screen, though compact, is a lower resolution 800x480, which looks grainy and old against the pin sharp HD display of its bigger brother. And the 1GHz dual-core processor, though fast enough for watching video and a spot of web browsing, isn’t as scorchingly quick either.The fiv...
