We heard a few rumors that Samsung was also prepping what they’d call the Galaxy S 4 Mini, and here it is. Well, at least according to new pictures of an unknown device acquired by SamMobile. Just like the Galaxy S III Mini the specs leave a little to be desired, but Samsung is going for more than just the high-end here. This device is aimed for the more budget oriented crowd. The design mimics the GALAXY S 4, it’s just smaller.
As you can see from the image above they have the GS4, the GS III, and the far right is the new Galaxy S 4 Mini. There’s no word on the exact size of the display but it looks to be around the 4.3-inch range and is apparently running a qHD (540×960) Super AMOLED display that rocks 256 PPI. Not too shabby, but nothing amazing either.
The leakster states it will come in June or July and will be powered by an unknown 1.6 GHz dual-core processor, and as we see from the leak is running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and Samsung’s latest Nature UX. Just like its bigger brother. You’ll notice the design is extremely similar with the same squred-off home button, and aluminum ring along the sides and all.
For now we don’t have additional details such as internal storage, camera, or battery but that should all be appearing soon. Somehow this isn’t quite as exciting as the GALAXY S4 leaks, but surely plenty of you are excited to see a nice 4.3-inch smartphone. Personally, I want the Galaxy S 4 specs in a 4.5-inch screen myself. We can expect the GS 4 Mini to come in a dual-sim variant sometime this summer. Stay tuned for more details.

That would make it around the same size as the Samsung Galaxy S2. Makes me realize how insanely big the regular S4 actually is xD
This is great, so people on a budget can get almost the same experience. There’s a galaxy out there for everyone.
