Samsung Electronics Co. has unveiled a smaller and
cheaper version of the Galaxy S III smartphone with the same screen size
as the iPhone 5. Samsung says the Galaxy S III mini features a screen
measuring 4 inches diagonally, smaller than the Galaxy S III's 4.8 inch
display but the same as Apple's iPhone 5, which was Apple's first
upgrade of the iPhone screen size. Samsung said the mini will be
launched in Europe later this month but kept mum on schedules for other
countries. Samsung's German mobile shop lists the mini's price at $516
versus $711 for the cheapest S III. The mini is powered by the latest
version of Android software but does not support faster
fourth-generation wireless networks.

the 4.8-inch Galaxy S3, but was the same as the one of Apple's iPhone5.
