Guest Chrisund123 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Sadly, it seems size and specifications go hand in hand at Samsung - totally underwhelming specs, I'd even go so far as to say the diminished specs tarnish the name of the S3.

Guest Kazekage Gaara Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Is this in any way better than Galaxy S2 ? Coz I sure as hell can't seem to figure out what's better in this one compared to S2. The reason I am asking is this is getting launched in India (where I live) at a price point of $600 US and one can easily procure a brand new Galaxy S2 over here at a price of $460 US. I really don't see why anyone would be spending $150 more to get the inferior S3 mini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my point. Only a fool would spend $600 US on an inferior phone when the faster S2 is available at $460 US. I also can't understand why Samsung has put such a high price on such an inferior phone (at least in my country). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
