Samsung's recently unveiled Galaxy S4 Mini can now be pre-ordered at online stores before it hits retail stores later this month.
The new Galaxy S4 mini variant can now be pre-booked at the Samsung's official eStore and Flipkart with flexible EMI options. The device is expected to be made available on 18 July. However, the date of availability of Galaxy S4 Zoom, which was also announced along with Galaxy S4 Mini, is still under wraps.
Galaxy S4 mini sports 4.3-inch super AMOLED+ screen with qHD 960x540p resolutions having pixel density close to 256 ppi (pixels per inch) and runs on the Android v4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS.
Under the hood, it packs 1.7GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor paired with Adreno 305 graphics card powered by 1900 mAh battery which can back up to 12 hours of talk time. Memory wise, it houses 1.5GB RAM and 8GB which can be expandable up to 64GB via microSD card.
Many tech blogs have panned the Samsung's logic of exorbitant pricing of Galaxy S4 Mini over the Galaxy S3 (around ₹27,000) which boasts better specifications than the former.
