Samsung announces Galaxy S III mini today, compared to Galaxy S III, the mini version has some changes in screen size and configurations.
Below are the detail configurations of Galaxy S III mini:

Samsung doesn't unveril the price and sale date for Galaxy S III mini.
Actually I don't understand why Samsung needs to announce a mini version of Galaxy S III. When people are looking for bigger and bigger screen smartphones, Samsung still announces smartphone with relative smaller screen. Is this to fulfill needs of different user groups? Then why don't they give this phone a new name? Is this because Galaxy S III is well responded by users, they want to borrow the popularity of Galaxy S III?
