"The rumors were true: Samsung is debuting a mini version of its flagship Galaxy S III smartphone on Oct. 11. \nThe new device, which will launch at a special event in Germany (invitation for the event pictured above), has been confirmed by the head of Samsung Mobile Communications, JK Shin. Hardly a \"mini,\" though, the handset is actually a 4-inch version of the humongous 4.8-inch Galaxy S III.\n\"There's a lot of demand for a 4-inch screen device in Europe. Some call it an entry-level device, but we call it 'mini,'\" Shin says. \nNo other details about the phone have been revealed, but the phrase \"entry-level\" likely means it will have a lower price tag and less stellar specifications than the Galaxy S III. \nThe timing of the launch is interesting \u2014 only six days before Apple's rumored iPad Mini announcement. If the Cupertino-based company, is debuting said device under the \"mini\" label, Samsung's Galaxy S III Mini will definitely steal some of its thunder. \nImage courtesy of Mobi Flip"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
