A recent report suggests that the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini will arrive in Canada via various carriers and will be available from early October.
Samsung released the Galaxy S4 in April and it became one of the most popular Android smartphones in the market. To capitalize on the success of the Galaxy S4, the Korean company announced the compact version of the handset, the Galaxy S4 Mini, in May.
"Heard the great news? The GALAXY S4 Mini was announced globally today. Stay tuned for more information on its availability in #Canada," tweeted Samsung Canada in May.
Usually, not all handsets are available via all carriers in a country. However, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini is expected to hit several carriers in Canada.
"While we don't have a price for the GS4 mini, we do know that Canadian carriers will start selling the Android early October. We do know that TELUS is on board and you can be sure the Galaxy S4 mini will arrive on most carriers lineup," reports Mobile Syrup.
The smartphone arena is getting flooded with many new devices in all market segments. Not all customers want a top-end smartphone with high-end specifications, a big display and a steep price tag; handsets such as the Galaxy S4 Mini still offer impressive features but at a pocket-friendly price.
The Galaxy S4 Mini touts a 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED display with 540 x 960 pixels resolution and 256 pixels per inch (ppi). The display of the handset is slightly bigger than its predecessor, the Galaxy S3 Mini, which has a 4-inch display. The Galaxy S4 Mini also includes a 1.7GHz dual-core processor, which is better than the 1GHz processor found on the previous iteration.
The smartphone also has 1.5GB of RAM, 1,900mAh battery, 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera.
The Galaxy S4 Mini measures 4.91 x 2.41 x 0.35 inches and weighs 3.77 ounces. The lightweight and compact design of the smartphone enables you to carry and use the device easily with one hand.
The Galaxy S4 Mini is available only in select regions and Canadian customers will be happy to grab the handset as soon as possible.
