so now we have a s3 mini with similar hardware to s2 and will have jb so this could only lead to s2 getting Jb as well...
cost so far is 400$ euro which for Au dollars is about 500$ if true then its cost is far to much for a lower spec phone....

so, what may be their intention for releasing this phone when S3 is doing very fine and other galaxy phones are also there?
I don't like the idea of the mini, there are still other phones out there that people can get instead of buying a mini. I do like Samsung though.
800x480 resolution?
1ghz dual core processor?
5 megapixel camera?
1500mAh battery?
Those are last years specs. Wasn't expecting this from a 2012 Galaxy device.

As others have said here and elsewhere I really can't understand the point of this phone. The specs are lacking in every way.
soon they gonna come out with a S3 mini LTE version...
While people like us here on XDA know about the specs, know the fact that basically this is a rubbish phone.
But to most people out there, they are going to see this phone & its resemblance to the SIII & its name [SIII mini] are going to assume that this is a smaller version of the SIII. These are the people who are going to form most of the sales of this phone & whom Samsung is fooling.

I'd take the S2. The much less-outdated S2's GPU, the Gorilla glass and the most important part, the fact that it takes SD cards wins it over for me.

I still haven't had time to play with a Note yet, but its intriguing to say the least. It definitely looks a bit too large to use as an everyday phone but I'll give it a shot at least
You probably will be happier with the s3, it will be the next Gen phone.
Get the note if you need a tablet phone or high Res screen for more icons on the app drawer or something. I'm gonna wait for the s3 just because of the flagship and the proper balance of features and size and weight

My uncle has the international version so I've had the opportunity to work on this device here and there. Using it daily really doesn't wind up feeling a ton bigger than the t989, only problems I've experienced are certain apps can't figure out if it's a tablet or a phone, so there's a fair amount of compatibility issues, but it's very slick.
But, and a big but, that phone is a Gen behind the s3

IMO, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is the most beautiful and exciting phone I've ever held. Until I played with that for a few minutes, I was positive my next phone would be an iPhone. My DROID Charge is about a year older than the S3 and I couldn't help but think of what a difference a year makes. That difference was enough to convince me that the Android is much more fun to own. My phone is a hobby, always a progress in motion. For better or worse.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
No offense but your friend is full of baloney
When the S3 was being worked on, a man wouldn't tell his his wife or his kids what the S3 would be like in fear of losing his job
In addition, samsung probably does all their designing of their flagships at HQ, which is korea. They also only have their top workers, and even then they made 3 galaxy S3s so that no worker would know if they were making the reall S3 or not.
Also, with many companies not even rolling out 4G LTE yet (which is pretty much 5G anyway), there is no way 5G is coming out anytime soon

It is already being produced which is why he has all the specs.

No. First of all, you don't live in Korea where it would be designed.
Second, since it is being released next year, they want a CPU of that generation which is not yet available, so we can't know the specs.
Third, he wouldd probably have lost his job by now since you have just told the world about it.
Fourth, any work on Samsung's flagships would be in a secret room guarded by secret people in a secret file, NOT on his computer where it could easily be hacked.
Just face it, your friend is just BSing you or trying to impress you.

Why can you not accept the fact that it is not true?
All big Samsung employees LIVE in Korea. That IS their home.
And if you knew anything about Samsung, they do NOT try to leak things. I even told you, to protect the secret of the Galaxy S3, they made 3 DIFFERENT models, and the designers thought they were making the real version when really it was one of the other 2 models. The Galaxy S3 had NO leaks because of this secrecy.
300 people? More like 30 in TOTAL. With 10 working on each phone, 20 are working on a fake phone, and 10 working on the real one. Once again, they don't know which is real or not.
And I'm going to smack the claim of 5G off too, because they don't llist specs as "4G LTE" or "5G." They would say the bands, like 900/1700/2100 MHz (that was an example).
Still don't believe me? Here's an article about Samsung regarding their S3, and how they kept it a secret.

Bigger screen? Honestly, you are being bsed and you are too stupid to admit it. 5G is technically 4g lte as he said, and the idea of a bigger screen is bogus.

I think this is hands down one of the stupidest threads I've ever seen. There isn't going to be a 5g, because 4g itself hardly exists on most carriers. And there's no way in hell it'll have a bigger screen than the note 2.

If he lives in korea, how come he comes "home" twice a year?
And Samsung would NEVER release details of the S4. They kept the S3 such a secret, if you read my article a few posts back.
And you still haven't come up with a reason why my points are invalid. All you said was he works for Samsung... well I work for Motorola and they're releasing the Motorola Atrix Bionic Droid RAZR 5G LTE GSM unlocked. Just because he works for Samsung does not mean he will know about the S4, like I know about the ABDR5GLTE

You need to check swappa

If you're due for an upgrade, the Galaxy Note II refurbed was available for $199.99 very recently.
ATT galaxy note 1 used around 200 on CL
★♡★ AT&T Galaxy Note II ☆♥☆
I still just have the original Note and over a year later I'm still pretty happy. I do occasionally start jonesing for the note 2, but not sure about the life of a refurb, I think it only saves about about $50, but with the S4 out I expect a new note 2 to drop in price soon. BTW, I haven't touched my laptop in a couple of months, I live out where the bear does his business and this is the way I get internet. No cable or DSL is within 20 miles of me... I had satellite but its more expensive and slower.

Have you considered looking into something from Pantech? The Pantech Burst, used, would save you about $100 from your $200 budget and is a very nice phone for the money. It also has a mostly-working CM10.
You could also look into newer phones like the Pantech Discover, In general, it's a good brand for the value-conscious.
