The Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini launch event has been confirmed as tomorrow, when the 4-inch handset will take to the stage in Germany.
We first reported that we may see a slimmed down version of the popular, but rather large Samsung Galaxy S3 last week after an invite to the German event showed up online.
JK Shin, Samsung's head of communications has now confirmed that the Korean firm will indeed release the Galaxy S3 Mini on October 11.
Expect big power in a smaller package
Shin also said that Samsung fans shouldn't be concerned about the specifications of the Galaxy S3 Mini, as the handset won't be found wanting in that department, and would have a "full form factor".
It's unclear if the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini will sport exactly the same quad-core processor and 8MP camera as found in the S3 - although that would be pretty fantastic, we also reckon it's highly unlikely.
Our money is on a punchy dual-core chip and potentially toned-down camera – however this would mean the Galaxy S3 Mini would be similar, if not slightly less featured packed than the still excellent, but now reasonably priced Samsung Galaxy S2.
The 4-inch display means the Galaxy S3 Mini could turn out to be a direct rival to the new iPhone 5, which sports, for the first time on an Apple smartphone, a bigger display.
The Galaxy S3 Mini could also come running Android 4.1, which would be the first handset in Samsung's core range (ignoring the Galaxy Nexus) to sport the Jelly Bean software.
Luckily we've not got long to wait, with all our questions being answered tomorrow. We spoke to Samsung, and a spokeperson for the company said: "The Galaxy S III Mini will come with a 4" display and we are going to unveil the product tomorrow (Oct 11th)."
