The home button is slightly different from the Galaxy S3’s design, and the build quality of the home button too is different. It was disappointing to note that there was no notifications LED on the device, which is a must have these days on any Android phone. The slightly curved glass, which is the smoothest we have ever used, does not sit in a recess and covers the front completely, leaving space for some important components like the front facing camera, the home button, the proximity and ambient light sensors and the most important earpiece. On the front face of the phone you have the display made of Gorilla glass spanning 4 inches of real estate.
With curved corners and curved edges similar to the Galaxy S3, this is very much a mini Galaxy S3 in its looks, except for some really minor changes in the physical home button, the placement of the speakers, the LED flash on the back, and of course the materials used. The design of the phone pretty much resembles every other Galaxy phone released in the previous year after the Galaxy S3. For more information and pictures, do check out our unboxing post that we did earlier. Inside the box you get the phone, micro USB cable, power adapter, a in-ear headset and a bunch of information booklets. We got the unit from Taiwan, so the inscriptions are in Chinese. But, does it live up to the expectations of a smaller S3, or is it a completely different phone which is just smaller in today’s standards? We will be answering you these questions in our detailed review below.
So, when Samsung announced the Galaxy S3 mini, it was supposed to be the S3 for people with smaller hands, and for people who were just sick of huge screens. This is the trend, and some people were sick of it, including some of us. We are currently at a stage in which screen sizes of phones have become obnoxiously huge and whenever a manufacturer releases its flagship, it’s almost a certainty that it is going to be bigger than the previous flagship.
