We've taken the image from mobilegeeks and fixed the sizes between the two devices, so here it is compared to the Galaxy S III. Thoughts?

They could have made it qHD, at least it would have stood out a little then. Also, what the hell is a STE U8420 SoC?

I was genuinely excited this morning at the thought of a full spec'ed 4" S3........ but now i'm totally underwhelmed.

Could STE be ST-Ericsson? The mid-entry level uses ST-Ericsson CPU.

Looks like a decent phone for those that don't care about quad core this and HD that, but do want to be able to run recent apps and do basic tasks such as making call, checking emails, Facebook posts, etc.

[PaulOBrien]

Yes, I believe it's a ST-Ericsson chip...

+1 for a QHD screen, seems it's all or nothing between the S3 and the S3 mini

[Sere83]

lol, samsung are joke. Touch wiz is still fugly, and they also doing everything they can to  cheapen the galaxy line brand name but releasing shed loads of low spec, cheap feeling fail phones. Sad state of affairs really for the number one seller of 'premium' android devices, no wonder people are still flocking to apple in their droves.

[PaulOBrien]

WAY too many devices...
