Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini firmware now available online

Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini

Most of us probably aren't waiting at the edge of our seats for the arrival of the relatively low spec'd Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini. That being said, if you are a developer you might be interested to know that the firmware for the S3 Mini is now available for download. As expected, the firmware indicates the presence of Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean.

Is the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini really that bad? Yes and no. The biggest disappointment is that the phone has the S3 branding and yet is nowhere near as capable as the larger-screened Samsung Galaxy S3.

The bottom-line is that if you simply want a low-to-midrange smartphone that has attractive styling and reasonable hardware, the S3 Mini could be alright as long as the contract pricing isn't very high. For those that need a refresher on the hardware specs, the Galaxy S3 Mini has a 4-inch display with a 800 x 400 resolution and a dual-core 1GHz NovaThor processor. Other specs include 8 or 16GB of storage, microSD, a VGA front cam, 1500 mAh battery, NFC and a 5MP front cam.

What do you think of the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini? Interested or not?

I would love the GS4 and the HTC One…But more of my support goes to the GS4….The most obvious reason for that is I have got a new GS4 and not the HTC One.

Funny, all things considered I’d easily rank the Galaxy Nexus over the Galaxy S3, yet The Nexus 4 listed AFTER the S3. That’s a head scratcher.

Put simply, now that HTC is gone, you will get jack support. If you thought support was bad before, you haven’t seen nothin yet. Note 2 FTW! lol It’s a good time to be a Samsung fan ~ woot.
