Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini vs iPhone 5


Samsung released their latest offering, the 
Galaxy S3 Mini few days back . It is a smaller, more watered-down version of Samsung’s flagship phone, the Galaxy S3 full size. It is also, apparently, a viable opponent to the iPhone 5 . Take a look at the specification comparison below and make your own mind up .

Whilst the Galaxy S3 Mini may be a serious opponent to the iPhone 4 or 4s it certainly isn’t any threat to the iPhone 5. Its much smaller camera lets it down on that, along with the size of its processor and the fact that it doesn’t support 4G LTE.  At the moment there is no official word on which markets will get the Mini but it looks like the European one will be first and it will be priced at around £300.
