**Samsung Galaxy S3 vs Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini: A Comprehensive Comparison**

When it comes to choosing a smartphone, there are many factors to consider. Two popular options in the market right now are the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini. In this article, we will compare and contrast these two devices to help you make an informed decision.

**Storage and Expandability**

The Samsung Galaxy S3 comes with a 64GB microSD card slot, which is very useful for storing your media files such as pictures and videos. This feature is not present in the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini. The S3 also has a ROM version that comes with a 3G connectivity option.

On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini has different storage options available, including a 16GB model that comes in both 3G and 4G LTE versions. The S4 Mini is expected to have multiple storage models as well, including a 1.5GB RAM version, a 2GB RAM version with 4G LTE connectivity, and a 3G dual-SIM option.

**Camera Capabilities**

Both devices come equipped with rear-facing 8-megapixel cameras. However, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini has some newer camera features that are not available on the S3, such as optical image stabilization and a wider-angle lens. The S3, on the other hand, has a lower-resolution front-facing camera at 1.9 megapixels.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini also offers full HD video recording capabilities from both its rear- and front-facing cameras. In contrast, the S3 can only record 720p videos with its front-facing camera.

**Operating System**

The Samsung Galaxy S3 is currently running on Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2, while the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini will come with the latest version of Android Jelly Bean, which is 4.2.2. The S4 Mini will also feature TouchWiz UI, which is similar to the S4's interface but with some key differences.

**Additional Features**

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini has a few additional features that are not available on the S3, including an IR blaster and gesture controls. These features are designed to enhance user experience and provide more convenience in everyday life.

In terms of battery life, the Samsung Galaxy S3 has a slightly larger battery at 2,100mAh, while the S4 Mini has a smaller battery at 1,900mAh. However, both devices are expected to have similar usage patterns due to their smaller screen sizes.

**Pricing**

The prices for these two devices are likely to be similar, with the Samsung Galaxy S3 available in various models and the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini expected to start around $450 in the US.

**Conclusion**

Ultimately, the choice between the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini depends on your individual needs and preferences. If you're looking for a larger screen with high-resolution capabilities, the S3 may be the better option. However, if you prefer a more compact device with newer camera features and additional convenience options, the S4 Mini is definitely worth considering.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up YouTube's a fear on super-safe TV and in this video I want to be comparing the specs of the Samsung Galaxy s4 mini to the Samsung Galaxy s3 the original that is now at the s4 mini just announced today morning and once again it's not just a smaller version of the s4 with the same specs the specs have been cut down as well as the price is gonna be lower as well however with the recent release of the samsung galaxy s4 the price of the samsung galaxy s3 has come down significantly and it is still a great device and it's got some great specs so a question that a lot of people have been asking me is if you're going for a new device and you you are in a bit of budget is it worth going for the s3 original or the s4 mini which is a new device but in terms of spec what's the differences so do it that thumbs up on and let's find out so let's start off with size the s4 mini as the name suggests is a smaller device it's 12 millimeters smaller in terms of high roughly about over nine millimeters smaller in width than the s3 but it's just very very slightly thicker zero point three millimeters thicker so nothing there really much but it is more of a compact device no doubt in terms of weight at the s3 is 133 grams whereas the s4 mini is 107 grams so again a quiet lighter in terms of weight as well now in terms of screen size the s3 is a 4.8 inch screen whereas the s4 mini is a 4.3 inch screen so you've got a little bit of a larger screen a half an inch larger screen on the s3 so the s4 is gonna be a bit more compact it's gonna fit within your handle a bit better and it's gonna be a bit more comfortable for one hundred use however it is only just about 0.5 of an inch smaller in terms of the screen size and then at the s3 now in terms of resolution the s4 mini does not have a 720p display it's a 960 by 540 display I was hoping for a 720p display myself but the s2 Nene does have a 720p display 1280 by 720 in terms of pixels per inch the s3 comes to 306 PPI pixel density whereas the s4 mini comes to 250 6a ppi pixel density so a slightly lower then the s3 in terms of pixel density as well as the resolution so 720p videos are gonna look that a little bit bare on the s3 because of the higher ppi as well as the resolution pixel for pixel resolution now in terms of building design both of these have the Polycom in a plastic casing hazard ooh other Samsung devices and the s4 mini is currently going to be available in the white frost and the black mist versions the s3 right now you can get in lots of different versions these over flagship common versions are the pebble blue and the marble white but there's lots of different versions available in terms of colors now inside the phones now let's look at the processor so the s4 mini has the dual-core 1.7 gigahertz processor the s3 has the quad-core 1.4 gigahertz cortex a9 processor as the international version I believe the US version has the Duke 1.5 gigahertz version so roughly you know similar in terms of the performance I would believe in terms of internal memory the s3 you've got 16 32 and 64 gigabyte variants the s4 mini initially is just gonna have the aka back version and possibly a 16 gigabyte version later on so that's quite low in terms of the internal storage now the s3 available storage on the s3 you've got about 11 gigabytes after the the OS and TouchWiz Samsung's TouchWiz etc but on the s4 mini you're gonna have a 5 gigabytes of available storage on the a kick version so that's pretty low so you're gonna get roughly about a double on the s3 original in terms of your apps etc now both of these do have an expandable memory card slot so you can expand the memory up to 64 gigabytes micro sd card that you can have in there it's gonna be really useful for your media so for your pictures your videos etc and you can transfer those onto there now in terms of Rama the s3 had the one came by ROM version and I believe that was a 3G version that's the one I've got anyway then you've got a 2 gigabyte 4G LTE version as well the s4 mini is also gonna have a lots of different versions the first is gonna be the 1.5 gigabyte RAM version and that's going to be 3G the to kpop version is gonna be the 4G LTE version and this also one option of a 3G dual sim as well which is pretty interesting now in terms of cameras both of these have similar cameras are both have rear-facing 8 megapixel cameras however the s4 mini does have a few of the features of promised elder brother so it has the sounding shop peach drama shop it doesn't have dual camera like the s4 original has but the s4 mini does have a few of these newer features that the s3 currently does not now both of these are formed 1080p video as well from the rear facing cameras and the front facing cameras the s3 has a 1.9 megapixel camera the s4 mini also has a 1.9 megapixel front facing camera now the s3 has a 720p recording of the front-facing camera will give you however the s4 mini did not fully confirmed it but I also expected to have a 720p front facing camera in terms of the operating system the s3 is currently on jellybean a 4.1.2 however the s4 mini is gonna come with Android jelly bean 4.2.2 so the latest version of Android jelly bean on here and it's also gonna have the TouchWiz interface as both on dude but it's gonna have a lot of the new features that the s4 original has so the s4 mini is coming with the loss of these new features as translator s Health Group player or some examples you've also got the IR blaster on the s4 mini which you don't have on the s3 and other features such as a view and a gesture they've also brought these over to the s4 mini which is quite impressive for this compact device the s3 will not have these now there's no smart scroll or smart pause on any of these I'm not really bothered about those too much to be honest anyway but those are not on either the devices in terms of batteries the SF 3 has a two thousand one hundred million battery whereas the s4 mini has a 1900 milliamp battery so although the s3 has a slightly larger battery because the s4 has a low resolution etc on a smaller screen it's probably gonna give you roughly about the same if not a little bit more usage I would expect now in terms of price now as I mentioned these are going to be quite similar in terms of price the 16 gigabyte version of the s3 roughly about 300 pounds going for right now the UK and roughly about 450 dollars I believe in the US the s4 mini 8 gigabyte version is not from the prices as yet but you'll be looking at around about 300 pounds once again or $450 in the US this is a sim free unlock version that I'm talking about and they expecting a July release date July 2013 release date for the s4 mini the s3 is currently available everywhere as you can expect so those were some of the key differences between these devices so again as I mentioned they were very similar in terms of SPECT overall the main differences are things like the size and some of the features that you've gone there so if you do want a larger screen with a litte bit of a high resolution then the s3 is still a great option it's still a great phone now if you do want some of those new features and you wants a bit more of a compact device then the OS s4 mini is gonna be great for that so that's gonna be also a great option what are your views on the s4 mini which one would you go for where you go for the s4 mini or would you go for the s3 do drop me a comment below and let me know I will do a full review of
